Fiamma Review

May 22, 2002 William Grimes reviews Fiamma today, and gives it three stars. Woo-wee. Ate there for the second time Friday night. Very satisfying (expensive) Italian cuisine (probably not worth the money). They stuck us at the back of the restaurant in the dread table closest to the kitchen. A small table to our right, intended to hold our wine, impeded the right of way of the waitstaff and the maitre'd all night. The second time the maitre'd kicked it, he leaned in, apologized, and offered to comp our dessert and coffee. Nice. Then he returned two minutes later, said he'd learned that he wasn't the only one to have kicked the table (he wasn't), and offered to comp our wine (a $48 bottle). The table was removed.
