   We liked it. The food wasn’t worth the price, unfortunately, even after sending a dish back to the kitchen. We also got up charged due a drink when the waiter didn’t clarify which drink we ordered. Overall, we liked it.

   WOW!! My husband and I got married yesterday, December 31st, 2024, and we decided to celebrate at a new restaurant which was this AMAZING place! We couldn't have had a better time! Everyone was so polite and energetic! Our waiter, Mario, was excellent, kind, and attentive! We even spoke to Michael, the GM, who congratulated us on our marriage and gave my husband a shot on the house! They also treated us with two delicious desserts! Visitors from inside even stopped to say 'congratulations!' It was so beautiful inside and the piano music was a plus! The food was delicious, my husband said it was the best filet mignon he ever had! And they even made me a tasty Mocktail because I can't drink alcohol right now as we are expecting. My husband and I cannot wait to come back again AND SOON! Hopefully we can meet Chef Joey next time!

   Steven was an amazing server who made great recommendations and spaced out our food perfectly. Our waters were filled all night and we had a great time!

   First time at this new restaurant. Outstanding in all respects from ambiance, friendly efficient service, and great food. Pasta is made in house and I can’t remember when I have had anything better. Any of the pasta dishes are a must try. We will be back soon. Gary was our server who was also great! Very highly recommended!

   This was our first visit to The Italiano. It will definitely not be the last! Our waiter, Brian, was delightful and extremely attentive without being intrusive. When I sat down, he gave me a black napkin instead of the white one on the table. I asked “why?” And he said because I was wearing black pants and to prevent white lint on my pants. Go figure! His suggestions were very welcomed and he was spot on based on our likes. My husband and I both felt their Old Fashioned was one of the best we have ever had. We all enjoyed our appetizers of the frito Misto and stuffed peppers. Husband had the 7 fish/Mare (excellent), I had the stuffed eggplant and gnocchi (like little pillows, perfect texture), and son had the chicken parm (excellent. The portions are fairly large and I didn’t think I could finish mine, but I did it was sooo good I couldn’t stop! Though it is a bit noisy and we were fairly close to the piano, we were still able to carry on our table conversation. We were celebrating our son’s birthday and they brought him a piece of cake with a candle. The desserts had fun twists as well…cannoli cigars that you dip in chocolate ashes and tiramisu served in a chocolate tea cup, not only beautiful, but delicious! The entire ambiance is so fun and entertaining, and you feel like you are in Italy. Great job Chef Joey!!!

   Excellent dining experience. Outstanding service and magnificent food. Ample portions. Great team approach to service. I drink a lot of water and my glass was kept full. The food arrives at the table, piping hot and delicious. 💕

    1st impression was overall beautiful environment. Menu appearance is a giant book. Very cool. Beef carpaccio was bland. Charred Octopus was delicious and presentation was impressive. Lasagna was delicious. We didn't like the idea of the shrimp and cold seafood salesperson coming to our table. The desserts are OVERPRICED AND SMALL. We had the tiramisu bland. I have had much better elsewhere. The cannoli cigars were cute BUT the cannolis at the Sicilian Baker are FAR better. So my husband was disappointed.
