    This was the perfect birthday dinner! Eric was wonderful and had great recommendations! The octopus and tuna were phenomenal! The wagyu was cooked to perfection. The espresso martini was a perfect end to our experience!

    Much, much better experience here than last time in January. Has changed to all-Italian menu but high class Italian that was very good, not your American-Italian typical spaghetti and meatballs fare. Artichoke salad special was outstanding.

    We loved the Spanish tapas style restaurant and were concerned with the menu change; but, it was great. The artichoke salad special was very good. The pasta Vongole was also great. We eat here at least a once every time we’re in town.

    Food was amazing, service was slow, table set up was very strange. Oval tables turned sideways to fit more tables/people but made for a very awkward dining experience.

    The food seemed overcompensated with added ingredients. The service was not good at all.

    If you’ve ever been lucky enough to have a meal cooked by an Italian nonna — one of those soulful, from-scratch, passed-down-for-generations kind of meals — then you’ll understand the rare magic happening at Plane & Level Coastal. If you haven’t? Well, get ready to taste what you’ve been missing. This isn’t just “Italian-inspired” fare — this is the real deal. Every dish feels like it was lovingly crafted in a sun-drenched kitchen somewhere in Sicily or Tuscany, where the olive oil flows freely and time slows down for Sunday lunch. The handmade pastas are delicate and rich, the sauces are perfectly balanced, and the seafood sings with coastal freshness. Their branzino could bring tears to your eyes, and don’t even get me started on the house-made focaccia — warm, airy, and kissed with olive oil and sea salt like something straight out of Liguria. But what truly sets Plane & Level Coastal apart is the care. The respect for ingredients. The restraint in technique that lets simplicity shine. It’s clear this kitchen cooks with heart. This isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a passport to the Italian coastline, lovingly tucked into every plate. Dining here is like being wrapped in a warm Mediterranean hug. Nonna would absolutely approve.

    Such a wonderful dinner. I had the price fixed Italian meal. The gnocchi was divine. The service was on point and the dessert was divine! Espresso coffee poured into the center of fresh ice cream that was in a glass coated with delicious and creamy, cool chocolate, coated with nuts. I’m going to dream about it.
