ItalX, an avant-garde Italian restaurant, is now open for weekend lunch and dinner six days a week at City Center. The restaurant is located at 160 West Main Street.

A twist on traditional Italian fare, the menu will feature multiple scratch-made pastas, reimagined small plates, vegetarian and gluten-free offerings, and everyone's favorite desserts. Popular Italian dishes will be reinvented with elegant presentation. ItalX's bar program offers extensive Italian wines from all regions of 'the Boot' and an inventive cocktail list, backed by house-made ingredients and Italian liqueurs!

    Grabbed lunch at ItalX and had their meatball sandwich—so good! The meatballs were super flavorful, the sauce was spot-on, and the bread was fresh and perfectly toasted. Portion was solid, and the staff was really friendly.

    Christian is so above par with customer service!! That, along with the excellently made food has never failed! I’m salt sensitive and the food has true flavor and NEVER covered by adding a bunch salt!! I’d put the whole experience to any large city restaurant!! The bartenders always go above and beyond with their creativity when making cocktails! So impressive and chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday! My husband brings business folk here as well!! Keep up the great experience for more people to enjoy your true (unpretentious) full bodied dining!

    Food was average, did not stand out. Service was not great. Drinks were slow to be served. Overall, not a great experience will not go back.

    Place looks great. Lighting was a bit dark. Service seemed as if we were a bother being there. Appetizer came out instantly and food came out just as quick. Seemed more like a date at a fast food joint with 100 times the expense. Will not go back.
