    The food is delicious from the starters to the mains and if you need a little spice the hot oil will do it. It was lovely sitting on the patio. We would have enjoyed having our group of 10 together at one table however, being placed at 2 tables beside each other was ok.

    A very enjoyable dining experience (2 couples on a Monday night). Liked the Decor and convenient location; excellent service and attentive staff. Zucchini fritters were gone in minutes! My vegan friends shared the Pesto Pasta and raved about it; my wife and I took almost half of the delicious meatballs and Chicken Parm home (generous helpings, well-cooked, tasty with a perfect sauce on both). Took one star off for the noise level, but that's a personal preference (will ask for an outdoor table next time). Will definitely be back.

    Our experience today at Bar Italia was very good. Our server was excellent,patient and very friendly. The food was very good came out in a timely manner. We were not rushed. We also was celebrating a birthday and the restaurant sang and gave ice cream to the birthday girl . We had a very enjoyable brunch. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
