| - I was back in Charlotte and my family was in need of a new place to explore. This responsibility usually falls onto my shoulders as I was usually the one to suggest new places. Since I moved away they were bored with the same options. So, I've had Fiamma on my bookmark list for a while and since we were in the mood of trying something different this is how we wound up here. Italian doesn't sound bad to me. Let's get to it.
Walking in, I noticed that Fiamma went for a very intimate sort of setting. When I say very, I mean very. I felt if you're going with a larger party, this wouldn't be quite the place to go especially inside. The tables were small and when we got our dishes, the big plates just seemed really silly. Our family of four, the table could barely fit, we were constantly trying to rearrange things on the table to make more space.
Let's get into the food!
For our appetizer we ordered Scallops with cauliflower puree and mushrooms. The appetizer was tasty. The scallops were properly cooked and wasn't rubbery. It sort of just melted in your mouth. Mixed that with the mushrooms on the plate it was good!
For our entrees:
1. I ordered the veal shank in a tomato, celery base soup, cooked for 5 hours with the bone in which meant that there was bone marrow. This was a special for that night.
2. Stuffed veal with prosciutto and mushroom with a side of gnocchi, another special.
3. Stuffed Chilean sea bass with crab meat and scallops, another special.
4. Black linguine with tomatoes and shrimp
Now, for me... if it was the best dish to the worst dish, the Black linguine would be on the bottom, with the stuffed veal at the top along with the Chilean sea bass as second. I'm not saying that the first 3 dishes were not good, they were all tasty. But for my taste, the stuffed veal definitely took the medal for me. The last dish lacked taste. The problem with my dish was that it just tasted like a form of a Chinese tomato soup that my mother cooked, and that was all I could think of when I was eating it. That's just me though. However, the stuffed veal? Yes. It literally just melted in your mouth with flavor.
For dessert we ordered the tiramisu. This is my go to dessert and am I glad that I ordered it. It was tasty! Definitely worth buying just one and sharing it among ourselves.
Fiamma offers a different look on Italian food and I definitely enjoyed it. I just wished that the seating arrangement was a little better, with a little bigger table. If you're going to insist on such big plates, I think the tables need an upgrade. I, along with the family, enjoyed our meal and this place will probably be a go to spot if we're in the mood for Italian. I'm sure we'll be visiting this place again in the future. The service was great and the food was tasty! Thanks for the experience Fiamma!
