    The food here is so good and the service is stellar. We have been served by Christina on our two most recent visits. Get the roasted carrots! What a great way to get your veggies! Can’t wait for our next trip here.

    Food sensational! Service outstanding! Ambience not so great with noise level high. Would love to be seated upstairs but no option to ask for that via OpenTable. Hostesses could use a lesson in Texas hospitality.

    Everything was excellent. The special appetizer of the evening was apricot w burrata, prosciutto, arugula, pistachio & topped w balsamic. The flavors made my mouth very happy. From there the bone marrow, pastas & garlic bread all complimented one another. To top it off dessert was yummy too. I was fortunate to meet Chef Blake & thank him for our wonderful dining experience. We look forward to being regulars!

    We will defo be going back! We celebrated my bfs birthday and we’re seated at the bar. Our host was amazing!! The service, food and atmosphere was great!! For starters we had the bread, clams and meatballs. For mains we had beef sirloin, the rigatoni and the agnolotti pasta along with sweet potato. So we ordered our desert to go the donuts and tiramisu. Even after we got home and waited a while the donuts were still fresh and warm.

    Enjoyed the vine tomatoes and burrata and the Fruitti Di Mare. The clams oreganata were drier than usual. We were a party of 2 and seated at table for 4. Another party was seated at the table and the staff did not bother to separate the tables. We needed to rearrange the furniture ourselves.

    We got a last minute cancellation at 5.15 pm on a Monday night. This was a pre-birthday dinner for one of us. A total surprise how good the food was - we had been once before when they just opened and this was way better. 1/2 pasta portion is enough for one person who is not super hungry. One of us had the small plates for russett potatoes and corn risotto - both very good. Italian bread was amazing. And as a surprise - birthday cake on the house. The service was excellent and attentive.

    We celebrate special occasions at Red Ash and have for years. They have delicious food and service. We ordered the hot and crispy bread, snapper, bone-in filet, wood grilled broccolini, Yukon gold potatoes, and the sweet potatoes. One of our many favorites is the Octopus on the small plate menu, however the portion was noticeably smaller than prior visits and the Cappelletti "Bishops Hat" which has always been a favorite was dry and a little too al dente for our group of 4. All other dishes, including the desserts, were fabulous.

    It was very difficult to book a table at this restaurant, and the reviews were very good, so I was excited. However, the food is tasty, but not awesome. It's just tasty. Another important thing to note is that I have been to Italy, where they have a different cuisine. However, the tiramisu at this restaurant was unreal! It is very close to the authentic Italian tiramisu.

    We got the Bruschetta of Prime Steak Trimmings to start, followed by the Agnolotti Del Plin and Capelletti "Bishops Hats" for our entrees. It was the best Italian food that we have ever had and definitely in our top 3 favorite restaurants of all time. 11/10 recommend.

    Celebrated my boyfriend's 30th birthday at Red Ash on a Tuesday night. Everything was perfect — from the drinks to the free dessert and champagne to end our celebration. We had an appetizer, split a large and small pasta, and had dessert and left stuffed. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
