AWESOME. Food, ambiance, and view worth every penny.

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.

Food was good. Would’ve expected more reliable sourcing for the price. More grass fed beef, Kerrygold butter, better quality salt, etc. Great variety on the menu though. If I weren’t trying to eat better quality ingredients, there would be several tasty options.

Our anniversary dinner at Ocean 44 was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the hostess, whose energy set such a positive tone for the evening. The General Manager made our night even more special with a thoughtful anniversary note—such a personal touch that really meant a lot to us. The food was simply to die for. Every dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and prepared to absolute perfection. Our server was phenomenal, with an impressive depth of knowledge about the menu. No question went unanswered, and their passion for the food and service shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect setting to celebrate such a special occasion. Ocean 44 truly made our anniversary unforgettable. We will absolutely be back!
