    We had not dined there in quite a while and it was so nice to get re-acquainted with one of our favorites. Love the atmosphere, menu and service. Next time, we won't wait so long!

    Overall, a good experience ! However, 1) Tables are too close ! 2) My grilled vegetables, were either charred or not cooked at all ! 3) My Rockfish was less than 3 ounces ! 4) My glass of wine was probably precisly measured at 3 ounces for 14.00 dollars !

    Our first visit in a couple of years. The food was as good as I remember! My wife’s gluten-free pasta was actually really good, with a very fresh spicy Arrabiata sauce. My dish with arugula, roasted garlic, Italian, sausage, and pasta was a little less flavorful, but still very good. Ensalada Mista was good, very fresh. We got a nice table, service was prompt, food was prompt. No complaints there. Thought the wine pricing was definitely a little high both by the glass and the bottle. $15-16 a glass for most of the wines is a bit much. Would like to see some more affordable options on the menu. Overall a great visit!

    Service was terrible. We alerted our waitress upon our arrival at 5:20 that we needed to leave by 6:30 for an engagement. We ordered immediately. The restaurant was almost empty. After waiting 40 minutes we told the waitress we couldn’t wait any longer. We were told by the manager that the food would be out in 10 minutes Another 15 went by with no food. It was so disappointing- we did get food to go but only after we had to ask another waiter to please check on our order yet again. It was 10pm before we could have our meal and at that point the food was subpar.

    The service was subpar. I go here all the time, and tonight was not good. Here is why: 1. Server did not clear dirty glasses or plates 2. Food didn’t all come out at once 3. Didn’t refill our glasses 3. Didn’t ask if wanted more drinks 5. Server forgot our table most of the night 6. Food was cold Highly disappointed

    We sat in a large room toward the rear of the restaurant. The food was delicious, the waitress was fantastic, the server was ahead of my expectations, and the food was served hot. The menu had a huge variety and accommodates GF folks for all pasta dishes, although the delicious-looking bread served before was not GF and it was not available. Everything overall was fantastic, as our guests agreed, and I would give the staff an A+! We have not been in a number of years and will return for sure. Bravo Azzurro staff!

    Our server was overwhelmed ; we had to ask to order after having been seated for quite sometime. She was nice but just overwhelmed Food was AMAZING as usual!! Might have rated noise level incorrectly but it is WAY TOO noisy ; we 2 women are in our 50s but not deaf and we had to repeat every! Will return always for food & bread but service & noise level are bad!!

    Exceptional in every way - food, ambiance and warm and delightful servers. We’ll be back. Maybe this trip! PS have the pasta with Alfredo sauce. It’s not on the menu but ask and they’ll make it! Eggplant parmigiana app - better than any anywhere ever! (Also, they didn’t have our reservation made through open table but were gracious and accommodating! )

    The food not only was it unimaginative but it was absolutely tasteless. I went with my husband and from the beginning the experience was very negative. The wait person wanted to sit us in the back corner of the room while they were plenty of empty tables. At 8:30 in the evening their excuse was that all of them were reserved. Of course min of them were filled. We ended up sitting in bar table. I ordered the halibut with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan breading. The breading was a soft soupy mush with no taste let alone the looks which was discussing. When I pulled the soupy mess aside the fish was completely tasteless. The arugula salad was also wilted and old. We are both foodies and lived in various countries especially in the Mediterranean where we grew up. So we know a good food when we taste it.

    The top priority for us, that evening, was that Azzurro was in close proximity to an event we would attend afterwards. The actual results were an experience that far exceed our needs. Excellent attention to detail by all involved. Attentive, but not annoying, periodic check-in by our server. Succulent and plentiful deliveries from the kitchen. Acceptable prices for that value of the services. Thank you, and we're pretty sure that we will choose Azzurro, again, when the opportunity presents itself. Floyd and Michelle Blackman Chesapeake VA

    Our entrees (pasta) were good - priced a bit high for vegetarian dishes ($26-28). We didn't order the right appetizer - a grilled salad with garlic tapenade didn't have much flavor. Service was very average - our wine glasses were never re-filled, neither was our water and we were never asked how our dishes were. Would expect better service for the price and reputation of the restaurant. Also had noted we were coming for a birthday - no mention made of this....

    Food was good but I wouldn’t say great. It was very crowded due to all the teenagers there for homecoming. I had the seafood linguine and the seafood was cooked perfectly but there was so much sauce and very little pasta that felt more like a soup than a pasta.

    There turned out to be a time limit on the reservation of 1:45, which was not explained beforehand. When one of our party politely suggested they might want to make this clear when reservations are made, staff member gave her attitude and informed her that most parties only take an hour. How anyone could order and be served a cocktail, appetizer, entree, and dessert in one hour, much less consume all of it in that time is beyond me. I thought the attitude was both ridiculous and unnecessary Food quality was adequate, but overpriced for said quality. Most of the staff are very, very young and clearly inexperienced. Some of them could use an explanation of the importance of customer relations. Azzurro used to be my favorite Italian restaurant, and I looked forward to visiting. It has dropped completely off my list of places I will be spending money.

    Our experience overall was fine. I think they were short on servers, because we rarely saw ours and when we did, I think she was a manager. My husband received the wrong order. However, he said it was good, so I guess that turned out OK. The chicken was not seasoned at all so my pasta was wonderful as was the sauce but I didn’t eat any of the chicken.
