    We had the most amazing meal at Italia and the service was fantastic. We started with an Espresso martini and the antipasti platter. So good!!! For entrees we had the scallop and pea risotto and the special which was bison manicotti. We will definitely be back!!!

    Thanks for taking care of us! Service was great as was the food! Only thing that could have made it better was the temperature in the dining room, as air conditioning was blowing down on us! Noticed many people were wearing their coats while dining! Will be back for the next concert - Blue Oyster Cult.

    Great meal and service as always. We enjoyed the calamari, filet, seafood linguini and chocolate ganache to finish. Satir was friendly and timely with the service. Drinks were spot on. We had a Watermlon Mohito and Negroni to start, prepared perfectly. Great wine with the meal. This restaurant is amazing and a great way to start a wonderful evening. We’ll be back!!😁✨🥂

    My husband arrived first and the waiter told him about the $10.00 special. When I arrived we had to wait awhile for him to come over, was not a pleasant waiter at all. He seemed annoyed that he had to re-mention the special. When I made the reservation they asked me if there was any special occasion we were celebrating and I noted it was our anniversary, not that it made any difference so why did they even care. So we had a bad experience.

    I booked a reservation for my wife and I to celebrate her birthday. She wanted to try this "authentic" Italian Restaurant but it was far from that. The server was asked about specials and relayed the top 3 most expensive menu items (even though there was a pasta special listed online). We ordered a bottle of wine and each an entre from the al-a-carte menu. Because the menu was not clear whether there were additional sides included I asked specifically if the lasagna included a piece of garlic bread; there is an add-on garlic bread for $8.00 but I assumed this was a loaf and would be too much for 2 people. He said it included bread, but what he meant was it was focaccia bread that was served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. No butter was offered and also no condiments until we asked. Also, no mention of the special occasion. In the end the bill was almost $120.00 for 2 pasta plates and a mid-priced bottle of Merlot; no appetizers, no desert, no coffee. Very disappointing.

    Appetizers: Garlic Shrimp, Calamari were both excellent. 5/5 Main course: 16 oz Rib eye was not satisfactory. I ordered medium rare, but got well done to medium instead. The meat was not tasty nor tender. Not what I expected for $70 Rib eye steak. 0/5 Dessert: Tiramusu was good. 5/5
