    We have been going to Feast Italian Kitchen for a few years; since they opened actually. The service has always been on point and the food delicious. We went there for Easter and while there were large parties and the restaurant was full, the service from the hostess stand to the wait staff to the bussers were A+++ and food was flowing, hot and you weren't rushed. Definitely we will be back.

    Ordered the stuffed squash blossoms; margarita pizza - both excellent! My husband ordered the black ink linguine with “frutti di mare” tasted great but swimming in watery sauce! I ordered the grouper special which was inedibly “fishy” HOWEVER as soon as mentioned it was immediately & apologetically removed and I substituted it with a salad! I want to point out that our waiter Chris & his colleague (didn’t get her name) went above & beyond! Will see you again soon 😌
