    Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We started with meatballs and calamari and they were fantastic. The chicken piccata was excellent. We will be back!

    Nice experience for the cost. Food was very good. Loud noise in the restaurant whole time but that’s apart of it. Decent service. Felt I was rushed at times to hurry by the waiter to eat but overall solid experience.

    My husband and I had a great first experience at ItalX. The service was wonderful; our waitress did a great job recommending menu items and helping us to enjoy the experience. It was a beautiful night weather-wise, so they had the restaurant opened up where we could feel like nice breeze from outside. We will be back!

    Truly the worst pasta carbonara I have ever had. It seemed as if it was in the fridge and reheated in the microwave. However, great service and nice ambiance in the restaurant.
