Just before Valentine’s Day of 2022, the family-owned restaurant Fiamma Italian Grill shut down operations following a kitchen fire. On Jan. 18, Fiamma, located at 2118 Schoenersville Rd., reopened roughly a year after closing. Owner Joseph Jurkivo said he is excited to welcome the community back to the restaurant. “Anyone that eats here one time or a thousand times is considered a part of our Fiamma family,” Jurkivo said.

Jurkivo said they successfully remodeled the restaurant, although they encountered issues with getting the proper equipment and construction workers along the way. As part of the remodel, he said the restaurant underwent a new kitchen installation and had modernized equipment added, including a new HVAC system with UV lights that kill 99.9% of bacteria and germs.
