Wonderful service and outstanding food! Best carbonara in town, hands down. Dinner at Asti is like coming home after a long trip in a strange land.

Food was delicious as always. Our waiter was a bit abrupt and seemed to be rushing us which was not pleasant - especially since it was Father's Day and there were not many people in the restaurant.

I was really disappointed. The pasta was rubbery and was presented in clumps. The sauce was bland. No bread or Parmesan were offered, the latter only until it was too late. The shrimp that came with the pasta was also flavorless. The burrata salad was ok, but there wasn’t much flavor to the tomatoes. The entire meal was below average, which is not acceptable when I paid $60. I used to really like Asti 15-20 years ago, but sadly it’s not what it was. Maybe it was an off night? The waiter said they were having some “back of the house issues” or “changes,” I can’t member her exact phrasing.

It is our go to restaurant for fine Italian dining experience.
