    I highly recommend the carbonara and the bolognese. The flavors are on point and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The burrata appetizer was absolutely delicious too. I love that they serve bread with olive oil and balsamic. The service was very attentive and got us served and out in time to make our theater reservations.

    Overall a very good restaurant - food, ambience, service etc. My only gripe is that my reservation was for 5.15pm which was fine except I was not told at the outset that there was a time limit on the table. Subsequently we were asked to finish up around 7pm. We were almost ready to leave but we should have been advised when booking online or on arrival that the table would be required by 7.15pm. I never have a problem with a time limit provided I am advised in advance!! Most restaurants that have a time limit on early evening reservations have the courtesy of advising diners at latest on arrival.

    I hadn't been in Bar Italia for several years. At the time its standards seemed to be slipping but it has bounced back and two of us had a lovely evening there. Authentic Italian restaurant with excellent food and service. Good wine list.

    Another lovely meal tonite with 2 friends. We shared the cheeseboard with olives and Bar Italia pizzas for mains. All delicious. Great selection of wines and the waitress, Alicia, was cheerful and very attentive and professional. We finished off the evening with complementary lemoncello. I highly recommend this place for a birthday or any celebration. We will definitely go again. We had an early booking at 6.45 but we stayed until 10 pm. which we weren't expecting for a buzzing Saturday nite. Delightful place. Mary
