    Outstanding restaurant … busy but the service is impeccable! We had dinner for the first time and invite close friends and everyone enjoyed their dinner. It was a great first time experience. Dessert was meh….. a good cheescake would have been better than the strawberry /creme weird dessert or the over fancy tiramisu. Hey Joey get a cheesecake on the menu!! That would match the excellence of the food offered!

    This was our first time to The Italiano. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful- it felt like we were at a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast. The blue & white decor to a beautiful, lively bar area, to live music being played on the Grand Piano. The service was exceptional! At least 3 managers stopped at the table to chat and make sure everything was to our liking. Now, the Food--- AMAZING! The menu is pretty cool--- it reminded me of an encyclopedia. LOL We had the "Feast of the Seven Fishes" 5-course menu. Every course was excellent. So much flavor and fresh ingredients. One course was better than the next. We'll definately be back!!!

    So the food was amazing. The shirt rib lasagna was simply amazing. So good. The kids spaghetti and meatball was kind of bland, but that could be because it was a kids meal, but, other than that, it was fine. The new menus that look like encyclopedia were kind of bulky but different. I think that they should rethink the Encyclopedia menu type thing. The ambience was just amazing as well. You would never know that it was the old streets of New York restaurant when you walk in. Our server wasn’t the greatest unfortunately, forgot a few things never got bread to the table, took a little while to get and after dinner coffee, we had to remind him a couple times, but he was very friendly. The management staff was very nice. The passing out of Champagne while you’re waiting for your table was kind of nice different that was complementary. Overall, it was a great experience.

    Four of us went to dinner and had a great time. The service is on spot. The food was excellent. I saw some negative reviews about checking in and on timetable. We did not have that experience. The bar was a great place to start. Tony was pleasant and the overall evening was excellent. I highly recommend.
