Review of FIAMMA - Ketchum's Hottest New Restaurant
Tonight, Laura and I had dinner at FIAMMA, a brand-new restaurant in Ketchum, Idaho. We had to book an early reservation at 4:30 PM because it was the only time available--a testament to how in-demand this place already is.
Now, Laura is notoriously selective about dining out. In fact, the last time we had dinner together at a restaurant was over two years ago (maybe even longer). But FIAMMA piqued our interest for one big reason--the chef. We had seen her on the Food Network, where she not only beat Bobby Flay but is also a finalist on another competition show and currently competing in Tournament of Champions (TOC). Her energy on TV is electric, and we were curious to see if that same passion translated to the dining experience.
Spoiler alert: It absolutely did.
From the first bite, everything was off-the-charts delicious. I started with the meatballs, made from a blend of three different meats, and they were packed with rich, savory flavors. Then came a salad so layered with flavors that I can't even begin to break them all down--it was simply perfect. My pasta dish was outstanding, and the grand finale? The best tiramisu I've ever had in my life.
Beyond the food, the experience was top-notch. The chef-owner was actively walking the floor, greeting guests, and genuinely engaging with customers to ensure everything was flawless. And even though the restaurant had only been open for a few nights, they seemed to have already worked out any kinks--at least from our perspective.
The verdict? We will definitely be back. Laura even agreed in advance, which speaks volumes.
If you're in Ketchum, FIAMM is an absolute must-visit. In my opinion, this isn't just the best restaurant in town--it's the best in the entire state of Idaho.
