FIAMMA
http://www.fiamma.ca/Fiamma.htm
1-3570 Strandherd Dr. Ottawa, Ontario
(613) 843-5263

Today’s Groupon to FIAMMA. Choose between two options:

• For $47, you get dinner for two (up to a $96 value) that includes:

1. One appetizer (up to a $17 value)
2. Two entrees (up to a $34 value each)
3. One dessert (up to an $11 value)

• For $90, you get a dinner for four (up to a $192 value) that includes:

1. Two appetizers (up to a $17 value each)
2. Four entrees (up to a $34 value each)
3. Two desserts (up to an $11 value each)

At FIAMMA, the flames of a wood-gas burning oven transform homemade dough into the eighteen thin-crust pizza varietals detailed on Chef Chris Muldoon’s menu of inventive Italian fare. Commence collective digestion with congregations of steamed PEI muscles or paper-thin slices of prosciutto served alongside melon wedges dabbled ever so gently with balsamic reduction and parmesan cheese. Sixteen pasta dishes, such as the spinach and ricotta manicotti and fettuccini primavera, keep noodle lovers breathing normally, while steak and seafood such as the herb-crusted spring rack of lamb and the oven-baked scampi offer many moments to make gratuitous “mmm” sounds. Meals end with the option of eight rich desserts, including the traditional homemade tiramisu and the Chocolate Corruption, a mischievous gang of cake, mousse, and fudge all enclosed by a delicious cookie crust.

FIAMMA’s brick walls adorned with dark wood fixtures and wine racks emulate an authentic Italian bistro, while the large, roaring wood stove and hanging lights bathe diners in a warm glow. Guests sit at tables or the bar, but not upon the Vespa on display, famous for being ridden by the Mario Bros.

Zolas Restaurant’s open-concept kitchen invites diners to view chefs as they combine handmade pastas with savoury sauces and blanket gourmet pizzas with smoked cheeses and cured meats. Feasts launch forward with jerk-chicken lollipops followed by a hearty entree of veal gorgonzola. Just like wrestlers training for a match on a lifeboat, lunchers nosh on lighter fare such as prosciutto, brie, and arugula sandwiched between ciabatta. Local and imported wines, beers, cocktails, and tears of joy complement feasts, and patrons also have the option to bring their own wine Sunday through Wednesday and avoid a corkage fee if sipping from a LCBO bottle. Guests can opt for gluten-free dough or pasta upon request.

The environs exude subtle elegance with walls adorned with Roman sculptures and surrealist paintings. Diners perch at granite tables isolated by gauzy red curtains and divided based on occupants’ preferred James Bond actor. On Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, live jazz enhances the atmosphere while wafts of Zolas’ signature fresh-baked bread emanate from the kitchen.
