   I was surprised how few people were there on a Thursday evening, because we had a fabulous meal and wondered why there were empty tables. It was goooood! We had a wonderful salad, the ravioli, and a trout special. We would definitely return!

   This was our second time here and we were unimpressed. I'm not sure what changed - but we were here for the first time pre-Covid and it was better then. My husband and I both ordered pasta and they both had very little taste. My husband said they both tasted the same to him - he got the Bolognese and I ordered the linguini. This restaurant had a difficult time working around a food intolerance - moreso than other restaurants. It was disappointing. I will say the desserts won the meal - that's why I gave 3 starts instead of 2. The panna cotta and flourless chocolate cake were spectacular.

   First time visiting. Somewhat too dimly lit for reading a menu but very romantic. Cozy restaurant with attentive staff. The short ribs were excellent and a very generous salad.

    We both had very good glasses of wine before dinner. I had the Roman salad and my wife had the Misto salad, and both arrived quickly and were excellent. My wife ordered the Spinach Artichoke Ravioli, and I had a pizza - and they were exceptional. The service was fabulous as well. Could not have been a nicer evening. Love this restaurant!

    Our waiter Jack was great. Attentive and not intrusive. The guys ordered their version of Cacio e pepe was delicious. My dish was salmon over a tomato risotto. The salmon was very good but the risotto could have cooked a little longer. It’s a beautiful restaurant! Don’t miss it!

    We enjoyed our evening with friends at Il Palato; our server, Justin, was engaging but not intrusive and the service overall was outstanding. The ladies at the table share a birthday, which was mentioned when reserving, but I guess that no longer gets any recognition most places. The quality of the meal was high, but please note the portions are very, very small!

    Outstanding service - Our servers were exceptional. They were personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Our pasta dishes were excellent and the space is beautiful. Unfortunately, the exhaust for the open kitchen is either insufficient or was not working. The dining room smelled like smoke and cooking odors. Our clothes smelled after we left. I hope this is corrected.

    The entire service industry is suffering from turn over and trying to train as fast as possible. This was evident in our experience tonight. The wait staff was unfamiliar with quite a bit. Food was good. Salmon was delivered skin side up which we don’t see on the West Coast. Mature crowd.

    Normally very solid and unique pastas. We especially like their weekend selections and specials over the last few years. We went this Friday and were rather disappointed. Service was great, but pastas far from that. In particular, the bolognese was tasteless and felt more like a Boy Scout dinner. I hope this gets better so we can continue to be regulars.
