   Great food and great menu. Desserts were great, especially the cheesecake. The yellowtail appetizer with apricot sorbetto was an amazing standout in the menu. Unique presentation and delicious.

   The restaurant was very nice and the service was great but the portions were very small. The raviolis were amazing but $28 for four of them? The pizza taste very good but the crust was so soggy we had to fold it just to pick it up. Too many "buts" for us. If you're not very hungry, eat small portions, and price is no consideration, then it's fine. I'm not sorry I went there but doubtfully will return.

   For our anniversary, we were greeted with a red rose, warm focaccia bread, olive oil, balsamic, and sprinkle of salt. We ordered champagne cocktails, but the waitress had to go to the bar and check that it was something the bartender could do. They came out ok, but not the traditional sugar cube and bitters. A little disappointing. We decided to share the pear salad, and it was a nice change from our usual Caesar salad. We shared the Pasta Ragu which was delicious with grated Parmesan from our waitress. I ordered the Halibut and my wife, the Scallops. The Halibut was a little dry and I wished I ordered the scallops! In the interim, another waitress, brought us a sample from the kitchen. Can't remember what she called it, but there were two envelopes with a white creamy Parmesan sauce. It was delicious. We ordered a bottle of Frank Family Chardonnay with our dinner which was perfect with our main course. At the end of our meal, we were full, but the other waitress brought us a tiramisu dessert. We left feeling well served and contented!

   Dinner was underwhelming, we’ve dined here a few times prior and this last time left us not wanting to dine here again. Started our evening with an appetizer, Crab Arancini, which was ok. They were a little lukewarm at best in the centers. We then each had a salad, I opted for the Caesar which would have been ok if the lettuce wasn’t under washed… a number of bites were sandy. I made our server aware, he took the salad away and kept it on the bill. Being charged $17 for an uneaten, sandy Caesar was not ok. For the main course, I made the mistake of ordering the Filet… being an Italian restaurant, I should have stuck with pasta. Perhaps then my dinner wouldn’t have been a total strike out. The filet, while cooked perfectly, was the blandest piece of meat I have ever eaten… a little salt and pepper would have made a big difference. The steak came with grilled broccolini and overly whipped, gluey, sticky potatoes… not appetizing. My husband had the Chicken Parm, no complaints with his meal. The chicken was seasoned and breaded nicely. Overall, dinner was disappointing and a miss on many points and unfortunately not the first time.

   We had a great Valentines experience! Great ambience, our waiter was knowledgeable & friendly. The food and wine selection is elevated for Italian, has a modern element to it. Would go again for sure.

   Inconsistent. This restaurant has potential but has been inconsistent. We will keep going back but with increasing options for good restaurants the area, it may be less without improvements in the food quality and service. It is not bad by any means but could be so much better.

   Excellent 🇮🇹 dinner to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Thank you for the personalized card and complimentary champagne to go with our dessert. Alejandra, our server, was extra sweet and quickly accommodating. This was our 1st visit… great choice. A friend at work recommended since I love Italian food. Thank you Vacanza Romana. 🍾💕🇮🇹😎😎

    Cacio e Pepe and pizza were both delicious. The drinks were fabulous also. Our waiter was kind, professional, and checked in frequently. The space has great ambiance and you can even see into the kitchen. The food did take pretty long to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait- good things take time! Great spot for a date night or special occasion. Will definitely go back in the future!
