    The food was very good. The prosciutto fig pizza was excellent. My eggplant parmigiana was delicious! Wait staff was extremely friendly and attentive.

    I had pasta with sausage and barata very good and a wedge salad also good. Fried calamari appetizer was a little greasy. Service was very good and friendly

    Decent place for a quick dinner with a great view. Charred salad was ok, wouldn’t recommend that again. SUPER char/smoke flavor and hard get over that. Pasta was good, but very basic. No extra cheese/garnish on top. It looked like something I would’ve made at home. Overall good, but not anything I’d go to again.

    Lovely outdoor setting under cover. Slow start with no one there to greet us. Table service was excellent. Thanks, Victoria and Hunter. We found the portions to be surprisingly large and our friends enjoyed their mixed drinks. Truffle fries were a hit as was the pizza and the lentil soup. Other dishes were good, but not great. Do not recommend the eggplant parmesan. We will go back to try other entrees.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Course Italian. The food (appetizer, salad and main) was expertly prepared and cooked. The arancini, chopped salad and braciole paired well and was very tasty. An adequate amount of food is served. Service (by Dani) was attentive - excellent. We wholeheartedly recommend Course Italian for a well prepared Italian meal.

    Hidden gem for porch dining at sunset. Great authentic Italian dining with good cocktails and wine selections. Casual and family friendly but good for a nice night out.

    Food was very good. Service was very good. Charred Caesar needed more dressing. You should have heaters outside for cooler days/after sundown. Other than that, we like Coarse a lot and will be back.

    I had a great charred Caesar salad and the pappardelle which needed more bolognese sauce which they provided upon request.Cocktails were very good. The prices however are high. They don’t serve bread for free. You have to pay $5 for bread which is unusual at an Italian restaurant and I dine out a lot.

    Food was served fresh and hot. Good beer on tap selections.. Our server was great and the manager came to visit the table to also check on us. The combination of great food and excellent service will have us return.
