Price: Expensive
• Italian • Mission
Booked 30 times today
Itria is a Modern Italian restaurant brought to you by Chef Daniel Evers and Omakase Capital. The name comes from the Syriac word 'itriya,' used by Arab geographer al-ldrisi to describe a type of dried pasta he saw in Sicily during the 12th century. The origins of this term are much older, however, with varying versions of it found in ancient records across the Mediterranean and Middle-East. The name reflects just a small piece of the evolution of Italian cuisine as a confluence of global influences. Our goal is to build on the foundations of classical Italian cooking to create a dining experience that respects tradition without being overly constrained by it.

    Great Oaxacan food and full bar. We got a bunch of dishes to share (aguachile, queso, tlyuda, mole short ribs, chile relleno). Everything was delicious! They have a selection of high quality mezcals - I ordered the flight. I didn't try their cocktails, but our friends really enjoyed theirs. Highly recommend!

    If I could give them 10 stars for their service, I would. The crew at Itria has completely redefined my expectation of what incredible service should look like. The starters and pasta dishes were unique and very tasty. The ambience is hip but not too loud. Overall an exceptional dining experience. We will definitely be dining at Itria again soon.

    The team was super attentive from the second we checked in. Knowing we were celebrating a birthday, Bo and his team made sure our birthday person had a good experience. The overall ambiance is good, with fun Japanese music in the background allowing guests to have conversation but not overwhelmed by other noises. The chef presented beautifully made 19 course omakase. He too was polite and paced our meal based on the flow of our group. We didn’t try the beverage pairing this time, but there will be a next time!

    Great food! We will return. The staff is a little stretched, but that's just a post-covid world. It wasn't all that busy, just busy enough to slow things down. She was attentive and efficient in her job. The pozole is not to be missed! It's not just a soup.
