    Made reservations but waited about 30 minutes past.. watching people come in later than us be seated first. Seemed as if they forgot about us. But the food was great as was the server!

    I'm pleasantly surprised, I wasn't expecting it to be more than just a fancy restaurant with higher prices. The food was good and the service was wonderful.

    We had a beautiful 2 top table over looking the bar area. Great service and although the food took a while we told him we were not in a rush. Truffle garlic bread, excellent octopus, chicken Vesuvius and grilled shrimp, spicy crab black pasta were all very good! Beautiful Christmas Eve dinner.

    We ordered several pasta dishes and they were all fantastic! The Butternut Squash Ravioli was to die for, and the Carbonara was too. We devoured everything at our table!

    Everything was very good except the chicken Parmesan was a serious disappointment. It was dry with very little sauce. The pasta side that accompanied it appeared to be congealed and the noodles were stuck together in one big ball. The short rib bolognese and spicy crab pasta were very good. The bruschetta was outstanding as was the arancini. One irritating thing is the bruschetta comes in 3 pieces. There were four of us so server appeared magnanimous by offering a fourth for our group. When I got the bill I was charged $4.50 for that one piece of bruschetta. Even after I showed the waiter my below average chicken Parmesan and lump of pasta. It seemed to me they could have comped the bruschetta given what I paid for a bad chicken Parmesan. I was here a couple months ago and everything was great.

    RPM Italian is our favorite Italian restaurant. Period. Always delicious with standard favorites like Eggplant Parmesan and Risotto. Tonight - Christmas Eve - we had the Feast of the Seven Fishes. It did not disappoint. Fabulous dinner. Excellent service.
