Staff

Fiamma Osteria was Founded by Michael White and Stephen Hanson. Michael White served as the first executive chef and co-owner from 2002 to 2006. He departed due to ongoing disagreements about the restaurant's direction. [6] He was succeeded by Christian Fantoni (2006-2007) and Fabio Trabocchi (2007-2009). [7]

Closure

After closing in January 2009, Fiamma briefly operated as an event space until its sale to Corigin Real Estate Group in November 2012. The decision to close was influenced by the 2007-2008 financial crisis [8] and the restaurant’s location, which proved to be somewhat disconnected from both the heart of SoHo and the more suitable neighborhood of Tribeca, which might have been a better fit for its high-end offerings.
