    The focaccia, carpaccio, and calamari were all memorable. The cacao de Pepe was wonderful, as was veal. Service was outstanding by Gustavo!! The dragon wine was reasonably priced ,

    Ordered our steak dish medium rare. It was sent out cold & barely cooked with no sear? We kindly asked to have in cooked longer and it came out chopped up, well done, with sauce poured on top. The server never asked about it again and we were charged for it, although it wasn’t eaten. Very strange experience here as we usually love it.

    I’m not sure what happened with the food. We’ve been coming here for years. The Veal Marsala and Scallops are generally outstanding . Both dishes were mediocre at best. The wine list needs updating because the all nicer Italian wines on the list were not available . This was not the usual dining experience we have at ItalX .

    Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. We started with meatballs and calamari and they were fantastic. The chicken piccata was excellent. We will be back!

    Nice experience for the cost. Food was very good. Loud noise in the restaurant whole time but that’s apart of it. Decent service. Felt I was rushed at times to hurry by the waiter to eat but overall solid experience.
