    Excellent food and service. It’s a bit pricy, but you won’t find anything like it in the immediate area. The quality of the food and the unique flavor profiles are impeccable. We’ll definitely be back.

    The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

    This was a really good experience my first time being there it was really busy for a Saturday of course that probably why the noise level was high. We were also sat next to a birthday dinner , but we didn’t mind at all!. The food and drinks made up for everything. They gave us special food that they were just putting on the menu and a complementary dessert. The waiter Luke was absolutely amazing , barely had to wait on anything everybody was very nice!! 1000/10 will be recommending to everybody I know! Can’t wait to come back !!

    Food was great. They recommended their special flaming cheese appetizer and it was delicious. The salmon and lamb shank were also delicious. The service was not up to our expectations as there were a lot of staff standing around and our server was too quick to disappear and the appearances in between were spotty. Our expectation would be the staff standing around would be working as a team and this was not the case, not for the price level of this place, we expected better in terms of the service. Compliments to the kitchen, but suggest you get the front of house up to the same level.
