    Bar Italia is one of our top "go-to" places when we want a terrific meal and terrific service. The atmosphere is refreshing - white and bright and inviting. The menu is varied with many choices especially if you like ceviche and of course pasta. Excellent for lunch or dinner.

    The only time to go is when the weather is warm otherwise it is so noisy inside with the windows and doors closed that one has to struggle to talk. Too bad, as the food is good and the service generally solid.
