   We made our reservations a week in advance and requested Timothy to be our server. The hostess replied that was not possible which was disappointing. We were seated by the table near the door which was drafty and disturbing with the doors opening and closing. Tomothy is a great asset to your restaurant. His service is impeccable along with his personality.

   Reservation was for 6:15. We arrived at 6:05. Not seated until 6:35. There is really no space to wait so it was very uncomfortable

   Server was rather inattentive and somewhat moody. Trance music in background was a little annoying. Food was great!

   This was our second visit for date night and just as nice as our first. Table was ready for us immediately. We love the shrimp appetizer and the chopped italian salad. So many pasta dishes to choose from. I had the clam pasta and hubby had the bolognese. Portions are not overwhelming and everything was very flavorful. We even had room for dessert and enjoyed the tiramsu. Next time I'm getting the key lime pie because I saw the one at the next table and it looked delicious.

   So the food was great and atmosphere was nice, speakers a bit loud. Our server though was bizarre. My friends were sat first and she wouldn't wait on them or something. She spilled pop on my shirt and dumped crumbs into my lap clearing the table. Which was unfortunate because we were going to a upscale event later and now my clothing were all dirty. It was nearly impossible to stop her to get a refill on my drink and then she didn't refill anyone else's drink. She would ask us how the food was or if we needed anything but walk away before we could answer. She asked us about desert which my friend wanted but then just walked away, we thought to get a menu but she never came back. It was sooooooo odd, the entire thing.

   It’s a new favorite. Warm and lively ambience. Even love sitting at the bar and eating. Great drinks, wine choices, Old Fashioned, stuffed pepper and bread app, pasta dishes (zucchini noodle option) and beef entree. No complaints about anything. Only suggestion is cut down on the pesto sauce. but next time I’ll make that request.

    Food was warm at best - first time this ever happened - disappointing to say the least. Server never offered a coffee refill during her multiple trips to our table.

    Made a reservation for 5 but for some reason they only had it down for a 4 top? Either way, service was pretty good. We had to remind our server for Parmesan and little things here and there but it wasn’t a huge deal. Overall, the menu is a bit overpriced for what the quality of the food is. The fact that bread is only served with a pasta dish is literally so stingy. In Italy (and other European countries) bread and oil is always on the table AND it’s usually free. If you’re trying to pass off as a a high quality Italian environment at least try to mimic the real thing.

    As always there food is on point. The sausage bread is certainly a must and I personally love the fried zucchini. I am a fan of create your own pasta with their house made pesto and various vegetables. Their bolognese is some of the best in the city. Our server was very attentive but didn’t over do being helpful. I really don’t have anything negative to say other than when it’s really busy it is obviously loud but not to an unenjoyable level.

    Service was great, ambiance is nice, food is not great. Wine list is paltry at best- you’d expect more from an Italian restaurant. The fried zucchini appetizer was the highlight of our meal. For entrees, I got the bucatini with lemon parm sauce. It had NO flavor. You tasted a little bit of lemon, and that’s it. The bucatini noodle texture was off, they were very chewy. My partner got the mushroom orecchiette which had more flavor, but the pasta was off. It must have sat under the heat lamp too long, pieces were crunchy. They were also more like shell noodles, not as thick as typical orecchiette. The key lime pie was decent. There wasn’t enough lime flavor and the texture of the pie wasn’t as thick as you’d expect. It might have sat too long and started to melt, the whipped cream was a little melty. This slice of pie had the thickest crust I’ve ever seen, it was dry and inedible.

    Food was good as always. Our server was great, actually never had a bad server when dining here, all are very well trained. The hostesses are another story. I know they are young and inexperienced but no excuse. We walked in and gave our name. Both girls didn’t greet us nor did they even smile, not too welcoming at all. One girl said follow me and led us to a table, dropped the menus and walked away, nothing else spoken to me or my wife. On the way out, we walked pass both girls heading to the door and neither one said good night nor did they even acknowledged our exit. First impressions and last impressions are everything in the restaurant business.

    We went out with a few buddies to welcome back our friend from Alaska and Bar Italia is always at the top of our list. Our server, Jesse, made the experience very pleasant. The attentiveness from him was impressive seeing as he had well more than just us. The chicken parm with bucatini and bolognese sauce was as on point as always. We will be back soon and often.

    Have had great experiences the 2 previous visits. This time the food and service were lacking. The potions were small and the food was subpar. Service was lacking as well. Hoping it was just an off night for this establishment. They did acknowledge my husband’s birthday with a complimentary dessert for my husband’s birthday, much appreciated.

    Me and a group of adults and children stopped in with my dog piper for dinner. As always you were accommodating and stopped by the table to say hello to our table and see the dog. Always enjoy the staff and management here. Greatly appreciated that you let my service dog Into the restaurant and provide a great experience for all always. We will be back of course!

    Great service and suggestions. Food is quite good, maybe a bit more flavor needed. You will not have a quiet private meal here if there are two of you, just be aware. Tables are close.
