The sunset supper is so perfect for a special event or a lovely meal out. The food is exceptional and well presented. Not a huge serving but just the right size for an early meal. Wednesday 1/2price bottles of wine is the icing on the cake !!! Service is so well done. We didn’t feel rushed and completely enjoyed our meal and had an amazing ice cream wedge cake dessert to share. Always a highlight while we ate in the desert. Well done keeping this special meal going. Thank you-!!!🙏

Our neighbors had heard of Italica and we all wanted to try it. Reservations were easy online and finding it was no problem, even with no signage. Service was impeccable and food was delicious! The wine we ordered was not available, so the waiter asked if they could substitute a similar one. That was fine, but the price was significantly higher when the bill came. I would highly recommend going to Italica for outstanding Italian cuisine!
