Have the shrimp scampi appetizer! It is fantastic. I had it after learning they removed my favorite shrimp bruschetta from the menu. Beth was great.

Good food and service. Arrived hot and tasty. The bar was very noisy and difficult to have a conversation. However, overall a nice evening.

This was our second visit to Bar Italia and it wasn't as pleasant as the first. My soup was served lukewarm and the Italian bread was hard and stale. Plus, the noise level, even in the "back room" was very unpleasant and got worse as the evening went on. Not a very good experience.

Good wine at great price. Nice salad. So, so pasta dish. Noise level about the same as an NFL game after a 30-yard pass for a TD in the 4th quarter. Very good service.
