My mother can almost never eat in Italian restaurants because of a black pepper allergy. She was initially disheartened upon learning that 90% of the sauces and dishes on the menu contained the offending stuff. Enter Enrique, the executive sous-chef at Fiamma, who came to our table to hash out the details. For the first time in years, mom was able to have spaghetti and tomato sauce with grilled chicken for dinner, made for her from scratch with no black pepper. On top of being accomodating and kind, the servers and chefs gave my mother something she hasn’t had in a while: a good plate of pasta! We both enjoyed our meals immensely. 🍝
