The pasta making class was an absolute blast, especially with Anthony as the teacher. It was great to have him as a guide through the class and he always kept it entertaining with his jokes and banter. The pasta class + dinner deal is such a steal, food was great and vibes were high. Highly recommend for a fun date night or booking with a group of friends!

Chef Scott Fratangelo keeps reinventing himself. A magnificent filet mignon with chestnut purée and oyster mushroom cream sauce with dijon was as superb as anything you would receive in any super high ended restaurant anywhere. Chef Heather’s desserts continue to shine and surprise, of late a sensational eggnog panna cotta and intense warm chocolate tart. Sous Chef Mike is such an asset. Server Javier is the best there is and Francisco has been mixing some mean cocktails. After 11 years, L’Inizio continues to dazzle. Do make sure you try a meal here as you will not be disappointed.

Food was excellent- tasty and huge portions. Service was great! They noticed we were slowing down after salad and asked if we wanted to wait a bit for next course. Never felt rushed.
