LA FIAMMA

BEST FOR A home-away-from-home Italian meal. FOOD Start with the salmon roulade – salmon carpaccio filled with lemon-zest cream cheese and basil leaves, topped with a citrus vinaigrette and served on a bed of fresh greens and fried capers. Ready for something hearty? Then order the bistecca alla Fiorentina. This generous T-bone is marinated with olive oil, garlic and rosemary and roasted in the pizza oven. A side of mashed potatoes, butternut and spinach rounds this dish off nicely. Indulge your senses by ordering a decadent chocolate dessert of tronco di bosco. DRINKS The wine list is solid and you can get excellent recommendations on what to order. SERVICE The staff make you feel most welcome and are attentive and professional. AMBIENCE On a cold winter’s night, a spot by the pizza oven is perfect. The retro Italian movie posters on the walls create an authentic feel. (IO)
