First, a shoutout to the staff especially our Server, Ryan! He knew when to come to the table, when to refresh and when to take our requests and quickly accommodating. The staff that worked with him was just as accommodating. We didn’t have a lot of time but had we had more time we would have had dessert, coffee, tea and drinks. Our food was prepared to perfection, my pasta could have had more short rib eat to the dish. All in all, a great experience. We’ll be back!!

The service was slow, but that may be due to it having been a busy night. The food was great especially the truffled garlic bread and the spicy king crab pasta. I would definitely come again :)

I chose to dine here for my 21st birthday and from entering the door to leaving, we received exceptional service from everyone there. I received a lot of compliments and I got a complimentary glass of wine and also a cute little birthday treat. The food and drinks were amazing too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. 10 out of 10. I’ll be back soon.

The service was great. I brought my teenage son here for his bday because he loves Italian and wanted to do a “fancy” dinner for his bday. The servers were so so nice to us. However, the restaurant was super noisy…patrons and music. The tables are very closely arranged so it felt cramped. The food was prepared well but lacked distinct flavor that stood out. I found great parking. I would not return but had a nice evening out with my family.

RPM is excellent - terrific service, food was fantastic (homemade pastas were soooo good); dining room a little on the noisy side, but it was a Saturday night. Hosts handled the crowds extraordinarily well. we'll definitely be back.

Service was excellent. Our waiter, John, was very attentive and helpful. Love the menu. A couple of our pasta dishes could have been warmer but they tasted fantastic. Will definitely visit again.
