Asti D' ItaliaHidden Gem!Who would expect to find an intimate, reasonably priced upscale restaurant in a sprawling shopping mall, right next to a JC Penney?
I was amazed at the low lunch prices, similar to some fast food places, at a fine dining restaurant.
All four entrees we had were delicious, as were the appetizers and desserts. The Ahi Tuna was exceptional as was the Tiramisu.
We're definitely going back!6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMVery nice evening!Our first visit to this restaurant & it was delicious! We'll definitely be back!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMJust a great findWe have been stopping by Asti d'Italia for the last couple of years. Small, relatively quiet, and friendly. Wait staff is attentive but not intrusive. For a restaurant of this size the wine selection is more than adequate. We have never had a bad meal - lunch or dinner. We chose Buffalo lasagne and Chicken Parm - great. for fun try the price fix Italian dinner each month. Would be remiss if we didn't mention the mussel appetizer - perfect size and delicious. You can't miss with the soups either.
If you can't tell this is one of our favorite neighborhood spots.5/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for excellentGreat place for excellent Italian food..Hope it stays in the neighborhood..Only wish they had outdoor dining.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMDesert HeavenThis place was so amazing! The food was spectacular! The service was attentive and very polite. Desert is a must at this place! Their chocolate cake is to die for! Everything was amazing.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day LunchOur first experience with this restaurant was Mother's Day and I can honestly say we really enjoyed it! Everything from the service to ambiance to the food was wonderful. I loved the beet salad with vanilla bean vinaigrette, may sound odd but I guarantee it was delicious! I really like the fact that the menu is diverse enough to please almost any palate and the prices are very reasonable considering the upscale feel of the restaurant, while not having an uptight feel. We would definitely go back!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit.This was our first visit. We tasted a variety of appetizers and salads. The appetizer risotto was excellent - one of the best we've had. The mussels and prawns were delicious and well presented. We would pass on the crab cakes next time, but as ex-Marylanders, our expectations for crab are high. The golden beet salad was exceptional, but the green salad had a vinaigrette that was far too acidic for our taste. The wine flights were afforable and fun. We look forward to returning to try some pasta.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMReally enjoyed my first timeReally enjoyed my first time there.

We started our evening having a glass of wine at the bar and enjoying the conversation with the bartender who takes great pride in the wines and cocktails of the restaurant. Soon we were seated and and enjoyed the Shrimp Capellini and daily risotto special. Yum!
