About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
From the owner Leonardo Landini "When I decided to open Ristorante Illando, I had a vision in my head...my cozy house back in Firenze, Italy; my family dining table filled with the food I grew up with. Now I can surround you with the warmth of my Italian home and an authentic Italian meal here at Illando. Benvenuti e buon appetito a tutti!!"

    A quaint apt turned restaurant with attentive servers and attendant. The food didn’t meet expectations for Little Italy. Pizza was not available for sit down service. While the seafood risotto was flavorful, the clams and mussels were a bit small. The grilled vegetables tasted fresh and the portion sizable. The calamari was average. The papardelle pasta was hard with sour sauce. Lastly, the short rib tortellini was bland.

    It was a great place to have a very nice dinner in little Italy. It is an old establishment and should be entertained. We enjoyed the Happy Hour appetizer with a great glass of Pino Grist. I had the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and it was excellent! The service was great and our server was helpful with his suggestions. .

    Overall, the very average experience, the food was OK not what I would call. Terrific but not bad. Either some of their appetizers were overpriced, but the main courses were priced accordingly I found the food to be a little overcooked. I given it an overall 3 1/2 stars as it was an average eating experience.
