   We had to wait 45 minutes for our reservation in a crowded small restaurant where we were in the way no matter where we stood. Because it was so small, the noise was so emphasized. We sat next to a table with drunk, screaming women. I’m more upset about having to wait almost an hour for a reservation I made weeks in advance. We had plans after dinner that were cut short because of the wait. Our waiter was not attentive to us and took forever for the bill at the end, only contributing to our frustration. Not a good place to go with a party greater than 2-3 people.

   Excellent food and service, our server was both the server and the hostess and she didn't skip a beat! I am definitely returning.

   Our table shared the Zucchini and grilled bread apps both were delicious. The Mains were generous and very tasty chicken limone, veal marsala and salmon all done very well. Our server was attentive but not pushy and very cordial. Definitely a high recommend for casual dinner with a higher end feel.

   We have been there twice now and both times the food and service has been excellent. Our new favorite spot for Italian food.

   The food was good, but not outstanding. The chicken parmesan was overcooked and dry.

    As always, a lovely dining experience for happy hour at bar Italia. Service was good, food was as well. I’d have to say the only disappointing part of my meal was guest related. I got stuck around a group of Trumpers that I had to listen to my entire meal. Bless their hearts.
