    Dining at Imperatore was an overall mediocre experience (food and service). It was not bad, but I’m also not rushing back.

    A very delicious dinner! Especially the sacchetti. Yummy pockets of ricotta and pears in a sauce with scallops.

    The food was very good, however... We were a group of 5. Two of us were served our meals correctly. Two then were brought a ravioli bowl instead of the veal. Those dishes were taken back while the 5th dish was filleted table side. So for about 10 mins - 2 of us had dinner, 2 waited, 1 also waited a long while for the fish. All of this we were ok with at the time. Mistakes happen. BUT! They actually flashed the lights in the whole restaurant at us at 9:45 (reservation 7:30)!!! It was clear they were done with us well before that - the check early with the "no rush" comment while dessert was on the table, clearing everything from the table and all. Won't be back anytime soon.

    Sorry, but the food was just OK. Had the crab/avocado appetizer and it was bland. Service was not attentive at all. They came to give us specials, took our order, served the food and that’s it. No water refills or to ask how things were. Sat there for 20+ minutes after completely finishing before someone came (only after we asked) to have the plates cleared.

    Second time there. Food is great. Staff is as well. Love the lights on the tables as they are adjustable. Music was perfect. Great date night.

    The veal Parmesan was dry - needs to be juicier. The veal funghi and veal chop were very good. Artichoke appetizer was excellent!
