🍝 Rochester|Fiamma Centro: Authentic Italian Flavors Hidden in a Basement If it weren’t for a friend’s strong recommendation, I might never have found Fiamma Centro—tucked away on a quiet street in Rochester, with a modest storefront. But stepping inside, you’re instantly wrapped in that genuine Italian family-restaurant vibe! 🇮🇹✨ 📍 Address: Near downtown Rochester, a bit hidden but navigable~ (Watch for the little fridge downstairs—it holds their daily handmade tiramisu! 🍰) 🕯️ Atmosphere: The restaurant has two floors. Downstairs feels like a cozy Italian home kitchen—soft lighting, brick walls, and wooden tables with a retro touch. The star is definitely the tiramisu-filled fridge, with limited daily batches that look irresistibly tempting~ 😍 Upstairs is quieter, great for dates or small gatherings. 🥩 Must-Try: Rib Eye Steak This steak truly blew me away! We ordered it Medium Rare—cut open to a perfect pink, tender and juicy inside, with a slightly charred crust and a smoky aroma. The special sauce doesn’t overpower the beef but adds a hint of herbal freshness~ 🍃 An absolute paradise for meat lovers! 🍕 Pizza Experience: We tried their Margherita pizza—thin, chewy crust, balanced tomato sauce, and stretchy mozzarella cheese~ 🧀 Delicious as it was, we heard their handmade pasta is the real hidden gem. Definitely coming back for that next time! 🍮 Dessert Surprise: Tiramisu The tiramisu from that downstairs fridge did not disappoint! 🫕 Creamy, rich with coffee and liqueur, ladyfingers perfectly moist—sweet but not cloying, every bite is pure joy~ Order early though—it often sells out! 🍷 Drink Pairings: They offer a good selection of Italian wines. The staff will recommend red or white based on your dish, perfect with steak or pasta~ 🍾 Overall, Fiamma Centro is an authentic, cozy, and reasonably priced Italian restaurant. Though it’s easy to miss, it’s a true hidden treasure in Rochester. If you love Italian food, you have to give it a try~ 💖 #RochesterFood#ItalianRestaurant#SteakRecommendation#Tiramisu#FoodieAdventure#HiddenGem
