Reviews Fiamma Restaurant

I love this restraunt, I eat by myself a lot so I sit at the bar. I have had nothing but great service. I love veal Picatta and it's not on the menu, however they have no problem making it for me and it is great. I guess the best review I could give your restaurant is that I've eaten there twice this week.

I cannot believe that I've lived in Charlotte this long and just now discovered Fiamma's! Best Italian food hands down. Everything is made fresh. Service (Jessica) was great. The appetizers, entrees to dessert... all so good! Depending on when you go, the service/wait may be longer, but I'd recommend waiting it out because it's worth the wait.

Fabulous food! Period. A hidden gem in Charlotte. Don’t go if you get hung up on the other stuff because you may be disappointed. Always friendly and passionate about the restaurant.

It’s one of my favorite restaurants, I spend good times there for the quality of the food and excellent service. They have a great selection of wine also, I truly recomend this restaurant.

Classy staff and fantastic food! Our new fave ��

My boyfriend and I went to Fiamma's for #QueensFeast (aka Restaurant Week 2018) and we were absolutely blown away by the food and the service. Best restaurant I've been to in a long time. Thank you!

Foam ma has great Northern Italian food. Great atmosphere in Dilworth a restaurant perfect for celebrating special occasions

Had dinner here with a friend in town and this is one of the most authentic Italian restaurants i’ve been to outside of Italy. Homemade pasta was perfect… Tiramisu was perfect, Fiochetti (which i’ve noticed has been really hard to find in most Italian restaurants) was delicious, albeit a little heavy on the truffle oil for my taste but it was still very well done. The bread and pesto you start out with is mouthwatering, and the sorbet we were served inbetween courses to cleanse the palate was a yummy surprise. Our server was so sweet and the atmosphere was really relaxing and quiet. Will definitely be back here.

Cute little Italian place that has been here for a long time. I came for a special event, so the full menu was not available. The gnocchi was really good, but I wanted to try the lamb chops. The service was very much lacking, but I think this was just due to the special event, so I would give them another chance. Staff was friendly. The drinks are just ok in my opinion, but the atmosphere is great.

We went in for Valentine’s Day and it was superb. The bread and pesto is delish. We got a pear pizza that was phenomenal. The entrees were really good. The only 2 cons were the slow service, we were there for over 2 hours, and the crème brûlée was burnt. Otherwise, this is one of the best Italian places in CLT.

I have been to Fiamma on several occasions over the past decade including date nights, couples dates, and multiple parties of 8 or more. Each time the service and food is too notch. The most recent time I came was for a celebratory dinner with my family, 6 adults and 2 kids. There were only 3 servers taking care of the whole restaurant but you could not tell. They worked very well together to attend to all the tables. They did a great job explaining the menu, as some of my family had not been there, and coursing out our meal. The food, from start to finish, was delicious as always. We ordered many different appetizers, entrées, and desserts, and they were all very tasty and well executed. I highly recommend Fiamma for any occasion. They will not disappoint!

Delicious dinner! The fresh bread and pesto came with our order and even though chicken parm wasn't on the menu they made it for us. Everyone enjoyed there food and service was good.

Definitely a date-night sort of place for the prices. There is a very distinct smell when you walk in though, that I wasn't able to ever quite place. It wasn't pleasant, and I felt like an Italian restaurant should smell more like garlic and basil and tomatoes than...whatever that smell is. So for me that was an immediate ding. Service was friendly and very polite, but staff seemed a little disorganized or like too many people working in too small a space. We were seated at a booth-backed table facing the kitchen doors and bar where all the water pitchers sit, so not quite the ambiance one might hope for. It also seemed to be the preferred place for staff to chat as they were drying glasses, making drinks or just in between tasks. Food was hit or miss. They serve fresh bread cubes with homemade pesto with your meal, which was very good. They also served us a sorbet in-between our appetizer and main course for a pallet cleanser which was a nice touch. We were there for Restaurant Week, so there were a couple items not on their normal menu. We ordered the Burrata and the Beet Salad appetizers. The beet salad had no layered flavor at all in spite of the accompaniments. It just tasted like beets with a hint of flavor/salt from the cheese. The Burrata paired with the meat and arugula with balsamic was much better. I would recommend that one. For our main dishes, we ordered the Monk fish with mashed potatoes and asparagus which was fine, but again, nothing special (although it's worth noting that the tiny scallops were cooked perfectly), and the Ribeye which came with truffle fries and arugula salad. I have to say, the steak was big (about 5-6 inches in length and about 4 inches wide) but easily the thinnest ribeye I have ever seen; it was maybe 1-inch thick *before* cooking. I ordered it medium, but what I got was almost well-done. Our server offered to have them redo it, which I accepted, and she took the steak back on an appetizer plate while I ate the arugula and "truffle" fries, which for us had no noticeable truffle flavor. A few minutes later, she came back by and I asked if it would be possible to get a little more truffle oil for the fries. She turned to another girl who had just walked up with a whole plate of the ribeye and sides, and said something in Spanish to her (none of the staff spoke English to each other that we heard the entire time we were there; hearing all the staff speaking Spanish in an Italian restaurant is a little comical), and the girl took the plate back in the kitchen. A few minutes later, a different person came out with that whole plate I'd seen before (ribeye and sides) and set it down, taking my old plate. Major kudos for offering a whole new plate and sides! But when I said I wanted more truffle oil, I had meant for the fries on my old plate. The new fries (that I didn't realize I was getting) had been "double sauced" and were literally glistening with the truffle oil. I said thank you and we chuckled that we could dip our remaining bread in my fries now. I will say they were good though, and you could actually smell/taste the truffle oil that time. The new steak was a medium, so kudos on that too. Soon thereafter we moved on to our desserts. We got the Tiramisu which was very good, and the Panna Cotta which was more like thin pudding in consistency. Panna Cotta should be able to stand on its own like flan. This one could not, and was served in a ice-cream sundae glass. It was very tasty...but not a true Panna Cotta. All said and done, it was good, but neither of us felt it was worth revisiting.

The appetizers were AMAZING. Between dishes we were served sorbets. The main meal was delicious. The bolognese was the best bolognese I’ve had in so long. The desert were to die for. I ordered a crème brûlée and it was the best! Definitely coming back here again!!

We made last minute New Year’s Eve dinner reservations for 8pm in the back dining area. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated very promptly. The staff was very professional and accommodating to explain the daily specials in great details. The lighting was very dim, but the overall ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming and inviting. The food was lip smacking, unapologetically amazing. I’m pescatarian, but I wanted to do something different for the upcoming NewYear so I ordered the lamb chops dinner. If you ever had lamb chops before in Europe then you know they were damn good!!!! Oh, the truffled mash potatoes is a meal by itself and well worth going back for. Meanwhile, my husband had black linguine with shrimp and it was fantastic too. The complimentary bread and olive oil blend was great too. The only thing that was odd about our overall experience was I needed to use the restroom before we left and there was only one stall in the women’s restroom. I came back out because there was a lady that went in before me. Upon coming out there was two gentlemen that was complaining about the same issue with their only being one stall in the mens restroom. I’m sorry the pics are so dark, but the lighting was very dim inside the restaurant. Great Food & Great Service. Go check them out for yourself and thank me later.
