    RPM Italian is touted as one of the best Italian restaurants in the city and it did not disappoint. We went to happy hour at the bar, which was a great way to start the evening. We shared the focaccia, carbonara, chicken vesuvio, and the brussel sprouts, which were all excellent. RPM is perfect for a nice dinner with an approachable menu and lots of options.

    Amazing experience. Valet was so easy! Did not have to deal with the hassle of parking and it was only $20! Service was fantastic. They wished my boyfriend a happy birthday several times before we even sat down. (I had selected that it was a birthday when making the reservation, then they reached out to me asking for details). Our menus were CUSTOM! They had printed on the top “Happy Birthday (boyfriend’s name)”. It was such a nice touch and really showed that they care. The service was phenomenal. Server was so nice, and food was absolutely delicious! 10/10 would come here again. They are doing a great job.

    Server could have been more attentive. Appetizer portions were healthy, but entree portions were disappointing.

    The evening was very nice with exceptional service and wonderful food. However, we were seated very close to another party and they were very loud along with being under a music speaker.

    Food as always is extremely good. This last visit was sub par. Service was slow, waiter barely checked on the table to clear empty glasses and we had ask the manager to help clear used plates and glasses to make room for entrees.

    It is a busy place. The service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left was top notch. We ordered the artichoke app which was okay. A bit too greasy for our tastes. For the mains, we had eggplant parm and chicken parm. Both were very good and very generous portions.

    Thank you for the thoughtful feedback, C.J.! We're glad you enjoyed the service and your mains. We’ll share your note on the artichoke with our chefs. We appreciate you dining with us and hope to welcome you back soon.

    Was hoping to celebrate our anniversary in a quiet environment but was pretty loud and nothing special for an anniversary meal.
