    Food was terrific as was service. It’s loud and frenetic (even on a Tuesday night) but it adds to the Italian vibe. Feels like a boisterously authentic upscale Italian joint.

    I am a first generation Italian American and was raised by parents and relatives who truly loved food and were very particular about how it was prepared, and the ingredients used. They have since passed, but I would not have hesitated to take them to this restaurant, knowing they would have been highly impressed. This is a wonderful, upscale Italian restaurant. The various rooms are beautiful, even enchanting, yet the friendly service makes you relax and feel comfortable during your meal. The Italiano is on our list for any visit by family and friends who enjoy delicious authentic Italian food, great service, in an elegant, yet relaxing, environment. This restaurant is another example where the Maggiore family does not disappoint.

    We were excited to try this place, but disappointed with the food. The presentation was good, just not much flavor.

    Pricey. (+$40/entree). Waited 40 minutes for meal after being seated. Need more smiles from staff. Noise levels ok for couple but larger party’s will experience trouble to communicate across table.
