    Food was good but could have been temperature hotter. Service was adequate but server could have been a little more attentive. Great environment! Would overall recommend.

    Restaurant was very loud, we asked to move to a different table that wasn't right in the middle of the room. Service wasn't great, our waiter was quite inattentive. We had to request needed things from other staff. I would go back as I think the service we received wasn't indicative of the restaurant as a whole, just our waiter.

    Always amazing food with great staff! One of my top three favorite restaurants in the city! Drinks are just perfect too, even if you order off menu.

    My only complaint is the noise level. Even just the two of us had to shout at each other to be heard. Took away significantly from the experience. No complaints regarding the food or service.

    Food wasn't bad. Meatballs app was pretty great. Wife ate a long hair and pulled it out of her mouth. Server said "nobody in the kitchen even has that hair color" Well, I guess a red headed stranger walked by and placed it in her pasta. Capreese was delicious and the Cacio E Pepe was just ok. Scallops were a little overcooked. Not bad overall but probably won't return.

    We were married Saturday then Sunday rested and to dinner at ItalX. We let them know in advance it was a special meal. The ambiance was great. We had the Polpette Cacio e Uova and it was ok. Wish we’d done the calamari or meatballs app. We had a fabulous bottle of wine. My husband had the lasagna and it was good to average. I had the Gemelli Bolognese and it was superb! We didn’t finish the wine or food so they prepared it for us to go. We thought perhaps they would recognize our special evening but that’s ok. We will return to try all the items we didn’t get to try.

    The food and service were middling and the drinks were 25% overpriced. The pizza and pastas were served too quickly on the heels of the appetizers, yet were lukewarm.
