    My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at Gourmet Italia. We last dined there on our second date 21 years ago. The environment changed, but the food was still excellent. We were especially appreciative of their paying attention to dietary needs (they had gluten free pasta options. I overheard another table where the server discussed a diner's food allergies. The price was very fair. Service was very good.

    Love this place! This is a go-to for my husband and I. We have been "regulars" here for the last 4 years and enjoy having a place that we can visit and know what to expect, which is high quality food, drinks and service every time.

    We found this gem about 14 years ago and come back every so often when we are in the area. The food has always been very good and has a nice ambiance. Last night our party had the linguine pescatore (special), squid ink pasta with scallops (special) and veal Marsala. We started with the artichoke appetizer special. The app was the only miss of the night, the artichoke wasn’t cooked long enough or was old so there was zero meat that came off and the the heart part was still pretty firm. It was stuff with bread crumbs, so that was all you really ate. The entrees were all very good and enjoyable. We have the pistachio profiteroles and a lemon tart thing for dessert. Both were good, but I preferred the lemon. Our server was fantastic and helpful with menu selections.
