Very friendly and informative staff. CHRIS came by the table two or three times to enquire about the food we ordered and how we were enjoying it. He listened to our comments with interest. The food was delicious cooked to perfection and served promptly ( they were busy). Rae our server was delightful friendly and informative. This restaurant is great and well worth a visit. The menu is inviting and has a great selection to tempt your tastebuds. The tables were sparking with glassware and the dinnerware is very attractive. This added to an inviting atmosphere , beautiful tables. All staff were inviting and super friendly. I ordered lemon prawns with lobster raviolis. Served with two different sauces and delicious. My husband ordered the pork chop parmigiana It was tender and scrumptious.

Absolutely lovely dining experience! Let's start with the star of the show: the food! The Happy Hour/Lounge menu is perfect for trying different items and everything was divine. Can I tell you how much I loved the dual olive oil/balsamic bottle?! Every detail was thought-out and executed to perfection! The service was also top notch, thank you Arina! Nick the Maitre D' was fun to talk to and ensured everything was perfect. The restaurant is stunning, while still being comfortable. Can't wait to return!

Enjoyed a late dinner around 8pm. I reserved a table for 3 online and was seated immediately. The restaurant was buzzing with energy and lots of people for a Tuesday evening. The interior decor was unique and beautiful. Our server was friendly and professional. We started with a Caesar salad and I appreciated how finely chopped it was. The garlic bread and zucchini blossoms were delicious and beautifully presented. For mains we ordered the short rib lasagna, spicy rigatoni with grilled chicken and the salmon. Everything was fresh, and tasty. Great spot, highly recommend! Ask for the Calabrian chilli's if you like a little extra heat- loved it!

Another great meal at the Italiano. We started with the Chilled Seafood Tower followed by the Fried Zuchini Flower. The Zuchini Flower is definitely a must have….soft and velvety cheese inside perfectly fried Zuchini Flower. We decided to try the 2 specials and they were delicious. The Fish Picata was light and flavorful and was served with gnocchi. The Veal Bolognese was rich with meat that was fork tender. For dessert, we tried the Biscotti Tiramisu and the Dolce Ferrero. Both great but I would go for the Dolce that’s so decadent! Our server Gary was super attentive and friendly. Matthew and Nicola were gracious and made sure we had a wonderful dining experience. As for the ambience, they have a live piano player but unfortunately drowned by the cheerful chattering.

I visited this Italian restaurant for a birthday dinner, and overall we had a good time. The portions were very large, and the staff were polite and attentive. However, they mistaken the birthday girl’s order, which was a bit disappointing. They rushed my meal to bring it out quickly which I appreciated, but because of that, the pasta came out raw and definitely needed about five more minutes of cooking. Aside from the mix-ups, the restaurant has a fun, lively atmosphere with live music that really adds to the experience. With a little more attention to order accuracy and cooking time, this place has the potential to be truly great.
