Fiamma Osteria—later simply known as Fiamma—was a dining establishment in New York City that opened its doors in 2002 and ceased operations in 2009. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the years 2006, 2007, and 2009, underscoring its exceptional culinary quality. Its interior ambiance was crafted by Jeffrey Beers International, contributing to a refined and elegant dining atmosphere.
Staff
The restaurant was launched by Michael White alongside Stephen Hanson. White took on the role of executive chef and co-owner from the inception in 2002 until 2006, departing due to conflicts regarding the restaurant’s strategic direction. Following his exit, Christian Fantoni led the kitchen from 2006 to 2007, with Fabio Trabocchi succeeding him from 2007 until the restaurant’s closure in 2009.
Closure
In January 2009, Fiamma ended its operations and briefly functioned as a venue for private events before being acquired by Corigin Real Estate Group in November 2012. The decision to close was impacted by the economic downturn stemming from the 2008 financial crisis as well as its location, which was somewhat removed from SoHo’s core and not ideally situated near the upscale Tribeca neighborhood, thereby restricting its customer base.
