    We had the igloo experience. The ambiance was perfect winter/ Christmas decor. Food was delish as always. Our server Erica was very sweet. Food came quick and was very hot, which was great since we were in the igloo.

    Initially we waited a little while to be served, but soon after service greatly improved. We ordered and were quickly brought appetizers and then the entrees. All enjoyed their entrees. The lobster quesadillas which on the special menu were delicious. The desserts we shared of churros and tres leches were very tasty. Excellent Mexican cuisine enjoyed by all.

    Absolutely wonderful time at ITA Kitchen! The food was fantastic. We started off with the mozzarella appetizer that was made at our table followed by a Spicy Rigatoni dish for me and the veal chop (the night’s special) for my boyfriend. Both meals were absolutely incredible and we both ended up sharing from each other’s plates. I had an espresso martini flight for dessert that was delicious. The wait staff was excellent and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back!
