I had the most delicious pomorodo pasta a couple of weeks ago. I keep dreaming of it, will definitely go back for more! The flavour took me back to our honeymoon on the Italian ship the Achille Lauro. Delicious!
Ordered takeaway pizzas on a Sunday night. It was ready in 15 minutes. Very tasty Quattro Formaggio and Al Capone. Crispy base and tasty toppings. Can recommend it.
I am unbelievably impressed with this stunning little Italian restaurant. I went not expecting much and I was really pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food, the authenticity of the menu, the vibrancy of the atmosphere and the attentiveness of the service. The deep fried focaccia bread slices are nothing short of addictive and divine and the risotto that accompanied my perfectly cooked sea bass was the best I’ve ever had. My partner’s gnocchi was sensational and the whole experience was beautifully Italian and just wonderful. We cannot wait to keep coming back to explore all that La Fiamma has to offer.

La Fiamma Ristorante Pizzeria is a charming little Italian gem tucked away in a small local shopping centre in Faerie Glen!
La Fiamma which means 'The Flame', is actually a famous Italian opera by Ottorino Respigh, and the name aptly suites this little hidden gem.
They serve fresh authentic Italian dishes daily in a casual family setting and the food is great value-for-money. They also pride themselves on having live music and lots of daily specials to tempt the tastebuds without hurting your pocket.
For example: 'Uncork Wednesdays' - pizza and a glass of wine for R95 (whilst you enjoy live music) or 'Ossobuco Tuesdays' - a delicious Milanese veal shank and a glass of Chateau Libertas for R95.
Food: On our first visit, we got three pastas to share:
Carbonara: bacon, egg, light cream and parmesan cheese with linguine pasta.
Allegra: Slow-cooked wild boar, mushrooms, herbs and a hint of garlic in a Napoletana sauce with penne pasta.
Al Sugo di Carne: Cubed rump and capers in a red wine and mushroom sauce with penne pasta.
The winner of the three meals on this first visit, had to be the 'Allegra' because it is something different and was just so full of flavour! I would highly recommend it!
Service: We were served by our smiling Ndebele waitress, Lisa on this visit. No complaints here, both our food and drinks arrived promptly without any issues.
In summary, generously sized meal portions, good value-for-money and tasty food all round. We enjoyed our meal here.
*Recommendation: La Fiamma is certainly a beloved neighbourhood local and I would recommend it as such. Hands-on service and hidden gem status!

My experience at La Fiamma was incredible. The service we received was fast and really efficient. The menu has a great variety and both our meals exceeded our expectations.
Great spot to enjoy delicious pasta and pizza with family and friends. We grab takeaway pizza and pasta quite often.
Very enjoyable lunch and dinner destination
We visited La Fiamma a few weekends ago after realising that one of our favourite pizza joints have moved. But this is no second place believe me! A lovely, chilled and friendly place where we immediately felt at ease. Great service - stocking one of my favourite drinks - Aperol, and seriously good pizza. The base is a little thicker than what is conventional nowadays and it was really good! Our waiter, Ben, was very efficient and friendly, and we definitely will be back!
Full review on our website.
Amazing fillet and pastas and they deliver. Love having a perfect fillet in front of the TV after a long week.
The atmosphere they create in the tiny space they occupy is amazing. Really wish they were located on a quiet street though.

2nd time here, 1st was a bit disappointing, but not now i was impressed services was quick and efficient. Starter of chicken livers was divine, and the lamb stunning!
I will strongly recommend this place even if you have been here before -huge improvement!
What a stunning place to have a lovely evening out. The atmosphere is pleasant, every pasta dish and pizza we have had at La Fiamma has been excellent. The variety of flavours are a treat and the best pomodoro sauce! Such accommodating waiters that provide attentive service and add to the lovely evening. A good range of wines to choose from, with a lovely intimate vibe. We just keep going back.

The very best beef carpaccio with deep fried capers I’ve ever had!
Pavlova perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.
What an amazing restaurant!
The food was great, the service was just perfect.
It felt like you're transported to another country.
I cannot say enough good things about LA Fiamma.
Please go and try it yourself, feel the magic.
Well done 👏

Hubby and I popped out for a quick lunch today, and WOW the food, the service everything is perfect! I might have found my new favourite restaurant. We will be back
Had their deep fried Foccacia strips. Best thing I have ever tasted. The pizzas are authentically Italian. You will not be disappointed. 5 Stars are not enough.
Unfortunately we had limited time available so only had starters and a quick dessert. The beef carpaccio was the best I have eaten in a long time. Generous portions and well priced. Can't wait to go back!
Enjoyed the food!!!
Love their service and perfect place to chill with your family and friends.
One of a dying breed, a smallish family run, independent of the big franchised restaurants, local eatery offering good service and good food. A good time was had by all and everyone was happy with their food. We all had something from the pasta menu. I had the beef lasagne, tasty and full of flavour. Also have a good wine selection, if slightly pricey.
Edit; We have now been coming here for two years, the food quality just seems to improve each time!
The food was divine, generous portions, and the staff incredibly friendly. Coffee strong enough to give you chest hair, just the way we like it.
We had a great lunch at La Fiamma. Their salads are really unique with wonderful flavour combinations. Their service was friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere.
Good Italian food..at a good price .Thank you !
