Fiamo

Great little pasta spot. My wife had a pesto based pasta and not being a big pasta eater, I chose ol faithful...spaghetti and meatballs. We were both pleasantly surprised with how good our meals were, especially me who thinks all pasta tastes the same. Huge hand rolled meatballs and a house made marinara were awesome.

Local beer on special so I wasn't complaining. Only knock was wifes pasta came with olives when asked for no olives. Our server was awesome and very apologetic once pasta came out with olives, but no worries...that meant I could seagull them!

Would definitely return and recommend.

I love Fiamo; it's one of my favorite go-to Italian restaurants in downtown Victoria. It's never too busy and has a lot of seating, so you're usually fine without a reservation. The tables outside are so cute and totally make you feel like you're transported to Italy. Their selection of pastas is honestly the widest variety I've seen at most Italian restaurants, offering lamb, sausage, chicken, etc., and super creative gourmet pastas in two sizes, which I love for sharing. And of course, you must get an Aperol. At first, they served it to me in a short glass, which made me a little sad, but with a quick request, my server was great and brought my next one in a tall glass. I haven't stayed for dessert here yet, but I'm looking forward to it next time I'm home. Really great service, free focaccia starters, and really yummy food. Also, it's right next to the water and the harbor front, so if you're traveling by boat or seaplane, this spot is right there waiting for you!

This is really a kid food place, like Old Spaghetti Factory dressed up a bit. The ambiance was really nice and the music not too loud. The staff are nice, though a little slow. The food, however, is mostly just blah average nothing special in any way, with one exception: the honey drizzle on pepperoni pizza was a good combination and the pizza baked just right. The kids got tired of the honey flavor and wouldn't eat two slices of the personal pizza so dad ate them. If you are adults wanting high quality restaurant food this isn't the place.

Great wine! We stopped in before dinner! The service was spot on- quick to accommodate us, we sat at the bar and were served quickly. Very romantic atmosphere with darker/red lights - the food menu looked yummy so would be open to going back for food!

Had dinner on a Thursday with family of 5. Not good. Carbonara was super salty, margarita pizza was bland, scallop risotto was bland. My daughter liked the spaghetti and meatballs and my old fashioned was really good. Unfortunately 3/4 of the dinners were no bueno.

I was visiting with my kids and we needed pizza! The pepperoni with the honey was fantastic!!!! The chicken Caesar salad was amazing also. We will be back every time we are in town.
The staff was incredible and our food came out quickly. Great experience.

Excellent service and the food was off the chart. I would highly recommend. My wife said she would have an incredible food memory.

We stopped in here after exploring Victoria. I ordered a beet salad. It was very good. My husband, a cheesecake lover, ordered dessert. He raved and raved about it. I tried a taste, and it was very good. The decor and ambiance was very Italian. The service was excellent. I made a note to come back when we visit the gardens this Spring.

Great breakfasts, lively setting, happy and helpful staff. All in beautiful downtown Victoria.

This was probably my favorite meal on our most recent trip to Victoria. All the meals were delicious. We got the kids "pasta with cream sauce" and it was by far the most sophisticated kids pasta we've ever had! It was essentially the complex adult cream sauce base on spaghetti or penne. I wanted to swap out whatever sauce accompanied my parmigiana pasta side to this one, but our server assured me it would be just as creamy. Upon arrival it wasn't, but within 10 mins of me discussing whether or not I could try and get a side of that sauce, our server appeared with exactly that item saying she felt the dish wasn't as creamy as she'd thought so she brought extra. It's like she heard the conversation! She hadn't, but that anticipation was a first for me and took me quite by surprise! The decor was interesting, upscale, intimate, with a show stopping chandelier in the centre of the main dining room. As for the food, they were all quite enjoyable and solid dishes. The chicken was incredibly tender and the pizza was hearty. Was it the best I've ever had, not necessarily, but for less than $20 in a more upscale setting for a sharing sized pizza, it fit the bill nicely. Will definitely be back!

Great Italian food, nice wine by the glass selection. Went early and had terrific service, too. Best meal we had in Victoria over course of several days.
