    It seems that ItalX has slipped a bit in terms of the quality of their food since the restaurant first opened. My wife and i had been huge fans of ItalX since it’s opening but this time was a huge departure from what we had in the past. Pasta dishes seemed dry as did bread dishes as was the parma appetizers. Maybe just a busy night but disappointing

    Excellent food, outstanding service! We had a group of 18 but we had service like a table for two. Italian is my favorite food, and this may be my new favorite place!

    It was our first visit to ItalX and we weren't sure what to expect. The hostess was very friendly and the restaurant is beautiful! The scallops were amazing! We were with another couple and we all agreed that we will go back! Great experience!

    Perfect dinner before a surprise proposal. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive. We were a little worried about the authenticity of the restaurant as we didn’t know what we would like or even how to pronounce some of the dishes. Our waiter gave excellent recommendations and was so personable. We will be back for many times to come.

    Poor service. Foot was average. Made a reservation for 7, they seated us at a table for 6. Runners did not know who to give food to. Food was wrong. Soup served without a spoon. Bar was VERY slow and I know this is where restaurants make the most money, always baffles me. Won’t be returning.

    Overall, the ambience is great and the service. Sub par wine list and way overpriced food. Was better under the previous owners. Now it’s Marriott and not worth the money.

    We were promptly seated and greeted by our waiter, Caleb. Pre dinner cocktails were offered and enjoyed before ordering g appetizers. Caleb did not rush us! Entrees were delicious and were served in a timely manner. The tiramisu was excellent t as was the chocolate custard. We would definitely return!

    We were so looking forward to eating here for the first time, and the food and drinks were absolutely excellent. I had the carbonara, and my son had the spaghetti and meatballs. Both were exceptionally good. We also had the focaccia which was delicious. The pasta is fresh and made at the restaurant, and you can tell just because it tastes so much better than any other pasta that you can buy. I had the Enzoni drink, and I love it. The hostess and our server were so sweet and so nice. My only issue was that it took about 25 minutes from the time we were seated until we were able to finally order. It was Saturday lunch time, and there was only one server for the whole restaurant. There were people seated at about 10 tables there, one of them a large party of six. I felt so bad for the server because I know that was probably super chaotic, but I was also very frustrated because I was hungry and wanted to order and the server would walk past our table and look at us, but was too busy to stop and get our order. The hostess eventually took our orders for us, which was very helpful. Overall, I was satisfied with this experience because the food was so good. We will definitely be going back. Hopefully they will have more help.

    Excellent service and most of the food was fantastic. The prosciutto appetizer was our favorite. A friend we dined with had her chicken left off her plate so they brought out more chicken which didn’t look to be seasoned at all. The spritz drinks were a little darker than we had expected. A true aperol spritz would be a nice addition to the menu.

    Thought for what I paid the size of my meals weren’t adequate. Service wasn’t great either, server wasn’t nearly as attentive as the surrounding servers for other tables. Only came to us to take orders. Had to ask for napkins and silverware from other servers after our original set was dirty because we couldn’t find our server. Probably won’t go back.

    Celebrated valentines early here last night and the wine/dessert/and our server were great! However, the entrees we had were definitely not worth the price. I got the chicken piccata and my boyfriend got the shrimp linguini - the meats were a little stale and all tasted very lemony. Both were 25 dollars each… I don’t know if we just ordered the “wrong” entrees and should’ve picked something else? Overall, it wasn’t too bad and we still had a great time, it just wasn’t worth the price.

    We went for my husband’s birthday. We were the only people there for lunchtime. The calamari was good. The spaghetti sauce was lackluster for being an Italian restaurant. The server was amazing. The birthday was not acknowledged so we went to Martine’s Pastries for dessert.
