I attempted to dine at Fiamma Italian Grill a couple of years ago. I ordered a glass of wine, which was poured out of a carafe and into a glass by the server. The glass rim was covered by lipstick stains all around the rim. I pointed this out and the server took my glass away and returned with another glass presumably filled with the original wine. The second glass was also filthy with stains around the rim. I didn't feel safe eating their food since their dishwasher was incapable of washing so I walked out. read more

Food and service both horrible, server literally disappeared...tight, loud and crampy....yuk

Wow! Bring your appetite! This place has amazing food in HUGE portions. Make a reservation because it gets crowded. The meals were so delicious. We started with the complimentary garlic bread which was amazing. It had huge chunks of garlic and oil. We ordered the arancini appetizer and it was the side of a softball and so good. Our meals were all delicious. I had the bolognese bread bomb and my daughter has Alfredo with chicken. Both were so good. My mom had angel hair with meat sauce and I think her plate weighed ten pounds. We barely finished a quarter of our meals and took everything home. I asked the waitress of how someone finished a meal here and she said 5 times in 6 years. read more

Fiamma Italian Grill manager/owner will be the downfall of this restaurant. Irrespective to what happens there is no accountability for gravy that's thin, cold pasta or simply not satisfied with the food. Instead of trying to resolve the issue management will insist they are correct in every situation. The food is not great and will not be dinning her again. read more

Fiamma is an Italian Restaurant in Bethlehem located off of Schoenersville Road. They are open Wed - Sun 11AM - 10PM. This place has been on my dine list for quite some time, so I was excited to finally make it in. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. Walking through the front door the first thing I noticed was how loud it was. The dining room is small and super congested. Unless you're on the inside of a booth plan on people bumping into you all night. As far as our server goes, she was nice, but had horrible timelines. Our appetizers, salads, and entrees came out just a few minutes apart. We had a whole table of food because we didn't get a chance to finish anything. The food was good, not great. The bread was hard and most of the food was too salty. I really enjoyed my entree which was the Angel Hair Gorgonzola. The vodka cream sauce and seafood was delicious. This dish would have been a home run if they used a different type of pasta. There is no delivery but they do offer takeout. Garlic Bread - 7.4 Caesar Salad - 7.6 Fiamma Mac & Cheese - 7.9 Crispy Fried Calamari - 8.1 Angel Hair Gorgonzola - 8.2 Chicken Penne Alla Vodka - 7.7 Tiramisu - 8.1 Food - 7.9 Service - 7.4 Value - 7.4 Restaurant score - 76 read more

Had a great lunch outing with my Bride. Seated immediately, loved that they had a wide range of music playing softly. Our waiter was awesome, very attentive to all our needs, & answered all questions we had. Along with always having a drink there when we reached for it. We shared a rice ball w/meat & mozz stix as appetizers, & enjoyed Chicken Parm & a Veal Parm as our meal. Everything was OUTSTANDING!!! Along with being large portioned. (Not complaining) Ofcourse we couldn't finish everything, so we took it home for dinner along with a slice Fiammas triple chocolate cake. We enjoyed the entire outing & will be back. As Usual. read more

We placed a large catering order from Fiamma Italian Grill on September 14th for our daughter's 2nd birthday party. The food overall tasted great, but we had a very concerning and upsetting incident with the baked ziti. That evening, my sister served the baked ziti to my three-year-old nephew, and he was cut by something in the food. I asked her to send me photos immediately so I could notify the restaurant. On Monday, my nephew began complaining of stomach pain and was sent home from daycare. After consulting with his pediatrician, he was referred to the ER as a precaution and had to undergo an X-ray. Thankfully, no metal was detected. I reached out to the owners by email the same day. When I didn't hear back, I called on Wednesday, September 17th, and spoke with the owner. He was apologetic and admitted that they use wired cleaning sponges in their kitchen, stating that "once or twice a year, pieces end up in the food" and that it was "the beast of the industry." He offered to refund the baked ziti. I declined that offer and instead requested a full refund, given the seriousness of what happened: my nephew's injury, my sister missing work, and the fact that we had to discard all leftover food. I summarized this in an email, expressing that as a loyal customer, I hoped we could reach a fair resolution. I heard nothing further, so I called again on Saturday, September 20th. This time, the owner told me his lawyer had advised him not to respond and denied what he had previously admitted. I explained that I had been calm and respectful throughout and had deliberately avoided social media. He accused me of threatening him and said it could be considered defamation of character. This encounter got heated. The following Monday, his lawyer contacted me directly. We went back and forth until he suggested refunding half the order. Reluctantly, I agreed. He asked me to text over the receipt, which I did, but then said he would need to talk to the owner about next steps and would be sending a settlement agreement for my sister and me to sign. I made it clear we would not be signing anything, especially if it contained a NDA, but I told him to send it over and I would ask a colleague to review. He said nothing after that. Followed up Tuesday. No response. It is now Friday the 26th. This entire experience has been extremely disappointing. I once recommended this restaurant highly, but after this ordeal, the lack of communication, empathy, and professionalism, I can no longer do so. read more

Make sure to have a reservation because it gets packed easily especially during the weekend. Honestly, the best Italian food in Lehigh Valley. From the free garlic bread to the pasta, it was delectable! Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the crab stuffed mushrooms. Service is great and casual ambiance. read more

Authentic Italian food at it's best!! We had dinner for six this past weekend, and we were all amazed at how good all the food was, and the tremendous portions! And there are some just Gotta Have appetizers. #1 The 1 lb meatball topped with a huge glop of Ricotta, Delicious!! #2) The fried calamari - Perfectly fried! And all the entrees were perfection. I had the Amore Linguini. A huge portion of scallops and shrimp with linguini in a delicious red sauce, just like grandma used to make. And our server, I think her name was Kim, was excellent, with great service and suggestions for us all. Overall, a great suggestion for authentic Italian food when in the Bethlehem area. read more

We just ordered from Fiammi online. They said 45 min for food. We went to pick it up and we waited an extra 30 min. we ordered pasta with sausage and pasta with chicken cutlet and breaded mozzarella. They never added the chicken cutlet and the Fra Diavalo was way too hot. the bill was $92.12 for well below average food. read more

We visited this restaurant and made a reservation. Wait time was only 10 minutes. Everything was great UNTIL we got to dessert. There were " "special" desserts on the menu. Decided to try the PISTACHIO RICOTTA CAKE $11 a slice . When I tasted it, it was SOUR. Waiter was kind, but said I can't take off the bill so I asked for the manager etc... sent over the " bar manager??" That was a bit concerning and suspicious. Finally a woman the "owner" ??came over and said we sold 3 of those cakes today... I said that's wonderful, but it doesn't taste right it's sour. She insisted that I didn't " like" the cake and wouldn't credit the money. Honey you then told me you got it from a "third party " lol ... is the third party Restaurant Depot or a place like it????? Do you realize food can go bad esp something with MILK products ????? Terrible that you claim you would taste it and never came back. An owner/manager that treats patrons like that is out of The ordinary. That clinched it for me that you are guilty. It's horrible to give honest feedback and someone claimed I didn't like it. IT WAS SOUR. I didn't even want the money ... it was honest feedback. I'm sorry if you felt I was complaining, I just didn't want to get sick. Stay hungry and be well read more

A really pleasant surprise. Great spot. Service was excellent. Food is very good with huge portions. Really nice find! read more

I came here with a big group of friends for a celebration. It was very cozy and crowded place - I take this as a sign that the food is good. However, I will say that I was a little sad because there were no pre-meal bread served to our tables. I got the pork chops and they were good. The serving size is incredible & I'm pretty sure I was able to get 2 more meals out of my leftovers. What shined here was the tiramisu. WOW. I have no words - other than that I wish I could eat it every day. It was impeccable (and trust me, I've made my own tiramisu before too). Would HIGHLY recommend coming here. Don't leave without trying the tiramisu! read more

Warm rolls with olive oil and fresh garlic were amazing. And we enjoyed them with Caesar salad with homemade dressing. Drinks are part of a great meal. I tried Limoncello Mule and brother enjoyed Tropical Italian drink with Bolognese entree. Fiamma makes amazing tomato sauce, which was served with the huge meatball dish. Ricotta cheese in this meal was also very good. Waiter we had that day was attentive and awesome. On another day we tried blackened scallops. Tomato, onion and squash stew on spaghetti meal was very good. Scallopini with sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes and demi-glaze brown sauce made fresh in the kitchen was a good meal. On first trip to Fiamma, Lollipop Lamb Chops with arugula was very good. read more

I don't know how I missed reviewing this gem! Foods always consistently excellent - get the meatball! You will fight your family for the left overs.

I have been to this restaurant 3 or 4 times now and each time it has been better and better! The food is OUTSTANDING and the service is great! The food comes out fresh and hot as well as very fast. I have tried various things on the menu and every single one has been more than delicious! I can't pick a favorite but the affogato is a MUST to end the night! The wait staff is also friendly and respectful! This is one of my favorite places to go in the Lehigh Valley! read more

Our group all ordered the arancini knowing we were likely taking food home. I couldn't stop eating mine & ended up having to take my entire entree to go because it was oh so delicious. Our server was very accommodating to all of our needs. She was super friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed their meal & most of us still ordered deserts to go. Great time & we will return. read more

Really good place to go. Shrimp Fantasy, Alfredo Bomb, Eggplant Rolatini....all of them were very good and enjoyed by the people in our party. Other visits we've ordered Penne Vodka, Bolgenese, and several risottos. All very, very good. Service was excellent. I do think overall, it's a tight place and you are kind of rushed. So if you are looking for an intimate type of place, I'm not sure this is what you are looking for. If that is what you want, then you won't give it a 5 star review, it will be lower. read more

We stopped after visiting mom in the hospital. It was later but still busy. The staff seated us relatively quickly and served us garlic bread. The bread was good and garlicky. The waitress was over quickly and placed our drink order. The drinks came back quickly and we placed our order. The Cesar salad was good while tasty. We received our meals and the stuffed shrimp and Gnocchi was excellent. Wife's salad was good and seasoned well. I asked for a second drink that took a long time and arrived after I was finished with my meal. The place was packed and warm while the dinning was overly noisy. So I rated the meal a 4.5 and the service and ambiance a 3.5. read more

Amazing food and the bartenders Jamie and Lisa were fantastic! I highly recommend a reservation for a Friday/Saturday night. Luckily they had bar seating. Only downside is very tight bar, dining room seating and smaller parking lot. read more

While the portions were large, the food was pretty bland and service could have been better. The dining room is also very loud and cramped. Prices are also too high for what you get. We'll try another Italian place next time. read more

Fiamma is still on fire! Every time I go back or even do their family style take out with friends, the portions are plentiful, and the food is phenomenal. This time, for lunch, I got the Fiamma Salad with blackened chicken, (the best blackened chicken for sure) and it was delicious! The fresh garlic bread they serve prior to your meal is amazing as well. Full bar and a great wine selection. Definitely a fave of mine ! read more

Fiamma Italian Grill - Fiamma Salad with Blackened Chicken! Delish!! - Italian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Went last week. They tried to charge us a sharing fee for ordering two appetizers and ordering two things at once. We wanted to edit our order as there are specific things we do not like and they told us we could not edit our order as it would not be done for us. The waiter seemed scared to ask her boss any questions. When I received my order the chicken did not look cooked well . I told the waiter I did not want the food, they didn't try to offer anything else instead she said ... was it the chicken? Yea that's why I don't get that to eat either. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday but the menu was all dinner entrees. Large meatball was fantastic. The bread they bring out was very good except over loaded with garlic. Would be nice if they added some lower priced lunch items. Service was good. read more

I understand the hype now!! Well deserved. Service is top notch in addition to the delicious food. Cozy interior. Made an online Sunday lunch reservation about a week prior & received confirmation. We were seated right away. The calamari was lightly breaded and served piping hot. The lunch entree portions are large enough for plenty of leftovers. The meatball will probably cover 4 meals for me. The veal parm was delicious! The red sauce is so flavorful. All the food tastes fresh and is well prepared. I had absolutely no room for dessert, so had the get the cannoli to go - it was also fantastic. Will have to go back to try the arancini, Fiamma salad, and lemon cake which I have heard good things about. They also offer family meals, which will be helpful to try for a busy week in the future. Parking lot is a little tight, but there were enough open spots. The outdoor area looks nice for warmer weather. read more

This place is a joke for an Italian restaurant... Start off with faux garlic knots that actually come with an obnoxious amount of raw garlic. Fried burrata - ice cold Fried mozzarella - looked like a train wreck wasn't isn't melted Lamb chops look like a dog chewed them before they were served Drinks - horrible Meatball was HUGE AND COMPLETELY UNAPPEALING Topped with whipped spackle I mean ricotta Server who was a complete idiot forgot to put my wife's order in... My daughter's shrimp were served raw!! When asked if she wanted a box she said yes for the pasta but the shrimp were raw...SERVERS RESPONSE------ Nothing walked away Overall this place gets 3.5 stars but at best deserves .5 stars for the dessert which was edible... NOT AGAIN... read more

Great salads and chicken parm. Sauces taste homemade and coat pasta well. Eggplant is undercooked. Some breading comes off. Bread is hot and tasty with fresh garlic. A real treat. Seating could be reconfigured and decor updated. Think banquette seating all across either side. read more

When I was a little girl, my beloved grandmother used to take me and my twin sister for a day out in our hometown. First, we'd go to church and then we would go to The Grant House for a giant meatball, a tossed salad, and a crunchy breadstick. I visited this fantastic establishment with friends of mine who are to be married next year. We were treated to wonderful hospitality, and a fun loving atmosphere. I ordered the Parmesan meatball with a side of spaghetti and a salad. It took me back to a wonderful, and loving time with my grandmother who I miss so much. I live five hours away, but I would happily drive here regularly for another family style meal like this. read more

When you hear the word "bomb" it is usually connected to a bad thing. Fiamma has made the word "bomb" synonymous with out of this world! This restaurant is very cozy and welcomes you as soon as you walk in the door. I am a huge garlic fan and the bread smothered in garlic and oil was a an absolute hit. The fried lasagna tower was worth it by itself but the gnocchi bomb truly sealed the deal for me. Do yourself a favor though if you plan to eat here. Don't eat for three days straight before because you won't want to stop eating at this excellent restaurant. read more

Service is just a tad chilly if you're not a regular. They're nice but a little stand-offish. You can tell when I local comes in. It's a nice clean place with polite people. Here's my issue. 1 pound meatball... who the heck stops in alone and can eat a one pound meatball?? If you don't get that they have small meatballs, maybe sisco... but not the same as the big meatball.. The bread... small stale rolls warmed with some oil, not olive oil on them and raw garlic. They need some good Italian bread! Crusty!! Had a Caesar salad last visit it was great. I also had sausage and broccoli Rabe... bland tasteless pre cooked rabe.. sausage was decent. Just ok, nothing to write home about. read more

Crowded and very noisy!! Food was mediocre, much better the last time we were there. Different cook. Large portions but not as tasty as the last visit. Service was a little slow but appeared they were understaffed. read more

All I can say is delish! We go here regularly and the Milanese Chicken or the gnocchi bowls are a go to! This place never disappoints!

This was our first time here and we were looking forward to the experience. The restaurant lobby is small so when large groups come in, it becomes cramped and loud. We started with a rice ball, which was seasoned well, although overpriced, but aren't all restaurants? My partner ordered the penne Bolognese and I had the Chicken Marsala. The Penne has robust flavoring and plenty of meat, but the Marsala was not seasoned and not prepared like a traditional dish. It was in a watery gravy, chicken was not browned, mushrooms were thick, and onions crunchy. Portions were very large. As for service, our waitress was mediocre. Pleasant enough in taking the order, but never checked in with us or asked if we needed anything. On the whole, it was an okay experience. We won't go back. It seems like sometimes the best meals and service come from the hole in the wall joints. read more

Been seeing posts about this place for about a year, so we made the hour drive up to give it a shot. The appetizer we got, the crab stuffed mushrooms was really disappointing. Very dry very small and one was so hard you couldn't cut it with a knife. But once the entrees came it was a whole new story, they were incredible. The gnocchi was stuffed with cheese and super light and amazing, the bread bowl was very good, the special was the Brooklyn parm, it was outstanding. Skip the mushrooms and get a nice dinner. We will definitely be back. Great spot! read more
