Perfect service perfect food. Had no complaints. I felt like a mobster but not in the dangerous kind of way. The booths made me feel like I was in an old movie. Very nice place. 1 salad (to share) 2 entrees and 4 glasses of wine, under $100 with 20% tip. Definitely will be back. We had cheese ravioli and penne vodka with grilled chicken. Amazing ! read more

So happy we found this restaurant. We were in town for the day and someone recommended La Fiamma. The staff was fantastic and the food was delicious. We had 4 different meals, egg plant, lobster ravioli with pink sauce, fettuccine and clams with white sauce and ravioli bolognese. We recommend them all and recommend trying this place. read more

Food was good. Prices were reasonable. I ordered the puttanesca and salad. The establishment was clean and the service was good. Our waiter was attentive and offered a couple of suggestions for the meal as well as the dessert. My wife and I had been looking for a new Italian spot and just might be it. read more

This a nice quiet place to go. Make a reservation because it's a small establishment. The meal was fantastic!! I would have given them 5 Stars but they charged me over $9 for Smirnoff and club. Domestic Beer is $5 but I can't get past the mixed drink price. That price was way over especially when I asked for Smirnoff. read more

OMG! I came here when on a business trip... One of our group found it, and it was Italian - safe! WELL! This place was outstanding. I got a basic Caesar salad, the rest got the special salad of the day, and all gave it high praise. My main course was Rigatoni Bolognese..... absolutely fantastic! Flavorful, and just enough. Other meals at the table were Swordfish, Broccoli Rabe/sausage and Garlic, linguine with clam sauce, Chicken Scarpiella... and all were well received with gusto. The atmosphere was very cozy, a long rectangle with a combination of tables in the center and semi-circular booths on the right. The left side is a full length bar, with a fantastic selection.... Go! And a shout out to Angelo - who was a great waiter! read more

Great local italian food in Harrison, NJ...an area desperately in need of good food. I ordered my staple Chicken Francese and can confidently say it delivered. The sauce was the perfect ratio of white wine and lemon, giving the chicken a truly tenderizing taste. The service was fantastic and the servers are truly amazing as they were able to go into detail about EVERY dish they serve. Overall, a great italian joint in Harrison, NJ for when you're looking for a subtle date night spot read more

I'm writing another review about the amazing La Fiamma. We love La Fiamma! The staff, led by the proprietor Angelo, are so friendly. The ambiance will remind you of the classic 1950s, 1960s great restaurants of that era. My wife had the Bronzino, it was fresh, delicious and flavourful. Wonderfully paired with mashed potatoes and olives. I had the shrimp parmigiana which was incredible. We strongly suggest going! read more

Understandably so - this place gets such a high volume of customer's on the daily. This place is pretty solid. And OMG, the portions were HUGE. The staff is always friendly, (not to mention good looking :) Everything everybody has said about La Fiamma is true. It is excellent. read more

Amazing service. This place has a welcoming feel. The staff is very professional and attentive. Great food and wine.

I searched for a place to eat after a visit to Harrison, NJ. Website said they use white tablecloths and they do, a selling point for my girlfriend. Small, quiet restaurant with bar. Staff is very polite and attentive. We had bronzini and Pollo Aloporotta( stuffed chicken) which both dishes were excellent. Generous portions cooked hot and for each customer. We both took home boxes. Free parking was behind the building. This restaurant is a model of what customer service should be like. read more

I would say from the moment we walked in we were treated differently and I attributed that to the color of our skin. I noted how other white customers came in and they were waited on with huge smiles and kindness and that wasn't the same for us. They were also explained mostly about everything on the menu but we were just given the menu with no explanations what do ever. The only person that was kind to us was the lady that tended the bar who assisted in bringing us our good. My cousin didn't like her order and asked to have it taken away. The waiter came with an attitude and tail the food. He didn't ask why or if we would like to order something else. She also asked for water twice but we not got it meanwhile the same waiter was walking past us and waiting another table. They weren't busy and they restaurant wasn't crowded. We had to ask for the water a third time before w received it. Never coming back here again read more

Amazing small spot! Finally a place we leaned on reviews for. Wife and I sat at the bar, we did not have a reservation but we offered the bar right away. The bartender, I forgot her name was amazing. Very friendly and talkative. Flew in the NJ from CO, amazing experience. Thank you! read more

Phenomenal local Italian spot. Staff is incredibly friendly, the manager (might be owner, not sure) is always extemely hospitable and remembers us. We've had the chicken parm, penne vodka, Caesar salad, bruschetta and a few chicken dishes. All were very, very good. read more

Every time I travel I rely on Yelp. This was such a great find. My coworker had crab stuffed tomato and the special cod with shrimp on top over mashed potatoes. He said it was delicious and fresh. I had the gnocchi which is made fresh there. Yum, yum yum. Bread was also very good. Too stuffed for dessert. Don't be deceived by the outside. It is so worth it! read more

It literally pains me to give La Fiamma 3 stars, because the food was so delicious! We ordered two large pizzas - original + pesto - to share between the four of us. Both were even better than expected. Between the four of us, we were completely stuffed. The only issue was the service that day. The two of us were seated although we told them we are waiting on two other people. No issue at all, that was fine. The second we sat down and whipped out our wine bottle, they came to immediately open it for us, which we were excited about. However, from the moment we sat down at 7:05, and our friends arrived about 20 mins later, we did not see a server to take our orders or refill our water until 8!! We noticed surrounding tables had bread and we did not receive that either. When the server finally came at 8, we quickly & hungrily put in our orders and also asked for a bread basket, but by 8:20, when we got our pizzas, we still had not received a bread basket. Nor did we receive water refills or even a check in. The place was super busy but it seemed like a one or two server show, which honestly brought the experience down a little. We will definitely be back because of the food, and hopefully the serving experience was just a fluke. read more

Great food, negligent service For an appetizer, we shared delicious, thinly sliced eggplant rollantini - one of the best I've ever had - and portabellas over arugula with a balsamic reduction, followed by the pistachio-crusted bass special with spinach and mashed potatoes. My partner had the Italian equivalent of a chicken cordon-bleu and was very pleased. Everything was moderately prices and we were pleased with the atmosphere full of dark-colored wood with a rustic ambiance. My partner found it shabby and dated. Unfortunately, we had to wait at least 5 minutes for a menu, had to ask for bread, had to ask for the check, and they never asked us how we fared with our food while we dined. They also failed to bus our small table which prompted me to begin stacking plates, for which a server asked me not to because "I made it difficult for them," despite them being able to bus the table in seconds. After that, we waiting 10 minutes before we asked for the check. On the way out, we noticed that they had preferred to take care of people that seemed like regulars over us. I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

Great Italian food however, they could use an upgrade to their ambiance inside the restaurant. The food was excellent though and consistently yummy which is important. read more

Service was great. Food was ok. Thought pasta was a bit over cooked. Ambiance is very old school but gives it kind of a cool vibe like from the 50s. read more

Was not to happy., the portobello salad was good , but my stuffed veal chop was not . Didn't want mushrooms in my sauce and it came out basically in a flavorless chicken broth . No Marsala flavor and probably poured over the chop which made the breading very soggy . The meat also lacked seasoning. Also I guess if you sit at the bar you are not entitled to hear the daily specials as the patrons at the tables were afforded this choice, I was not. I'll go back but not sure when, sorry ! read more

Stopped by for a solo lunch today, I was working across the street and decided to treat myself. So I ordered my standard Italian lunch - linguini with white clam sauce, a glass of pinot grigio and an espresso. Prices are moderate - I spent $22.00 before the tip. The linguini was al dente, the clams were fresh and abundant, maybe twenty little necks. Garlic did not have any color but oh well. Just a bit of grit at the bottom of the bowl, so the kitchen wasn't being careful pouring the sauce out of the pan. I could live with that and would order it again. The grigio was decent and a good sized pour. The espresso was fine but served without lemon peel. Service was prompt and friendly -I sat at the bar since I was by myself. The place was almost empty for a Friday lunch. It would make an excellent spot for a quiet business lunch. The room consists of a long bar down the left side, five curved booths on the right side and five four tops down the center. Very pretty room but with the bar area not exactly romantic. read more

The food here is GREAT! Authentic Italian dishes right in the middle of Harrison. The place itself is very nice and intimate with a bar. The staff is friendly. The penne and vodka sauce is yummy...the eggplant rollatini, the steak....it's all sooooo good. read more

Exceptionally good food and enormous portions. I did pickup on my first order and loved the the old school look and feel of the place. Every server was warm, friendly and professional. This was just for a pickup order! I'll be returning there with friends for the full dining experience now that restrictions have been lifted. read more

Perfection at it's finest. Everything to the smallest detail is well taken care of. The menu is hands down superb. The attentiveness of the staff is unrivaled. I wish I could live here. read more

Mixed bag of reviews for my favorite little local Italian eatery!?! Well, I've got no complaints, been coming here for years (it's funny how we forget to review the places we go to the most). I love everything i try here. Usually I go with whatever the fish or pasta special happens to be, order a glass of pinot noir and enjoy the complimentary bruschetta served as you wait for your meal to come out. I'm not going to rant and rave how great it is or how perhaps this or that might use a little work - sorta want to keep them as my own little local secret. Shhh... read more

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. The service was a bit too slow though. There were hardly any people when I came in with my family and yet took them a while to finally come to my table and offer drinks or menus. Then at one point they nearly forgot to bring over a white wine that my father had ordered. Regardless, the waiters were all very friendly and the drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert were very good. read more

La Fiamma Review Food: 2 Stars: I had an appetizer plate which was small and uninspired. They had an eggplant Rollatini that tasted overcooked and a little tough. My main course was a simple Linguini with Clam Sauce that was ok but nothing great. The food tasted bland and the portions were too small. Ironically they had really good starter bread consisting of sun-dried tomato bread which you could dip in garlic aioli. It was the best part of the meal and the only reason the food gets 2 stars. Service: 3 Stars: The waiter was average. No complains but no compliments either. Food came out at around the average wait time. Atmosphere: 0 stars: The restaurant was really strange in that they hired someone to play music yet the whole time the entertainer is having conversations with customers across the restaurant. It was so annoying that I actually paid the guy to stop. It ruined the whole evening. This restaurant is not very good and I would not go there. read more

Thank you! What a fabulous night! They accommodated a group of 7, last minute, hungry for a good meal. They are loyal to their regulars and extremely inviting to their new guests. Everyone thanked me for finding the place on yelp as if I made the food myself...lol thanks again La Fiamma and staff! After a 3 day convention it was a blessing to have a home cooked tasty Italian meal in La Fiamma read more
