   The duck breast special shown their website was no longer available, so my husband was very disappointed. They substituted a duck leg, but charged the same price. That said, the duck was very good. The cacio e pepe is always a favorite, but wasn't hot when served. I ordered the chicken liver app special (yummy) and the roasted cauliflower (very good as usual) assuming they would be served one after the other. Instead the server who took our order placed the cauliflower in front of my husband and the chicken liver dish in front of me, so I ended up eating both at the same time. Our entres took over an hour before to get to us, but we're hot and delicious. We've been to ITA many times for the delicious food, but the service is uneven at best. In last night's case it was mediocre.

   This was my first time here. The food was outstanding! I had the seared duck and it was cooked to perfection. The service could have been better, but I can overlook that due to the quality of the meal. Due to the dining area being narrow and small, you can expect things to be noisy. I highly recommend.

   Found the menu to be a bit odd. Also, seems a bit overpriced. The salad was pure arugula - never had it served that way; dressing was tasty, but some cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, mushrooms, something else is needed. The cavatelli with sausage was delicious, but very salty.

   Loved the Thursday night pasta tasting menu, the short ribs were phenomenal! Everything is fresh and delicious. I expected the lights to dimmed a bit lower but it wasn’t a big deal for me.

   Chef Kevin always delivers!! Everything is unique and so well done! House made pasta combined with the specials are spot on. What a treat coming to this place, do not overlook it or miss out. No short cuts!

   We had a great time at ITA. We were seated immediately and the food was excellent. The pasta was fresh and tasted amazing! If you go, get the tiramisu made table side.

    Thursdays pasta tasting is an amazing value. The homemade pastas were perfect, the cavatelli being my favorite, perfect al dente and the sauce and cheese just the right amount. The 4-5 course tasting is a great deal at $45/person. They unfortunately ran out of the pumpkin pie dessert but it gave me the opportunity to try their unique table side tiramisu. Starting with the chefs grandmothers recipe for ladyfinger, topped with freshlt brewed espresso, beautifully fluffy mascarpone and dusted generously with imported cocoa. Just the right balance to end an amazing meal. (It is BYO) so be sure to bring a nice Chianti or Barolo!
