    A much better experience our second time at Bar Italia. Although I find the menu a bit limited, the food is very good and the portions are a good size. Tap water wasn't cold, but ice solved that issue. Service was good. The mood was festive on a busy Christmas Eve. Will return to try the pizza another time!

    Four of us dined and everyone really liked what they ordered. The arancini is awesome! Two of us had veal marcella, one person had Italian wedding soup, and one person had bolognese. Service was top notch as well. We can’t wait to go back!

    Good atmosphere and good food. Personally, I felt a tad rushed by our waiter who sounded more like a car salesman. He did not appear genuine at all. I’ll return if I’m ever in the area again.
