Kleine Flamme
In his small open-view kitchen situated in the centre of this restaurant, chef Bacher Burkhard develops his vision of fusion cuisine with energy and precision, combining flavours from Italy and the Alto Adige with Asian spices and techniques to create delicious and imaginative dishes. His tuna tataki is superb, seasoned with salty lemon oil and accompanied by intriguing bitter herbs that (as Professor Montanari has noted in a recent book) are particularly popular with Italians. The chef’s wife Annelies works front of house, where she looks after guests in a friendly and professional manner.

Located in central Vipiteno, Kleine Flamme offers fusion cuisine with mixed reception. Positive reviews highlight excellent food quality, particularly seafood, lamb, and amuse-bouches, alongside professional service and a cozy, open-kitchen atmosphere. However, negative feedback points to inconsistent execution, citing inedible dishes, poor spice combinations, and bland flavors. Some guests reported unprofessional service regarding special dietary requests. While many find it a sensory delight, others criticize the value and culinary surprise, noting that recent changes may have affected the standard. The restaurant presents a polarized experience, ranging from exquisite dining to disappointing meals.
Suitable for diners willing to try creative fusion cuisine and tolerate potential quality fluctuations.
