My guests were very understanding, as was I. We ordered drinks, enjoyed the bread service and immediately skipped any appetizer, going straight for our main course. Lobster Ravioli, Shrimp w/Linguine, and Lasagna. Dessert would be 2 orders of Grappa soaked raisins over vanilla gelato and a vanilla gelato w/shot of espresso. Cappuccino all around finished the evening.

The service and setting were wonderful. Because we were so enamored with our server we didn’t mention how disappointed we were with the food. Scallops were overcooked and dry, ravioli in a sage butter sauce were swimming in an oily pool and veal Marsala was somewhat tasteless. I’m sorry, we won’t return.

We had a table for 4, outdoors but under the roof, on May 12. We've been to Bevardi's several times over the years and have never had a bad meal. That tradition still holds! Our food was great (short rib ravioli and lobster ravioli) and the eggplant appetizer was so huge that it could have been a meal all by itself. We are also fond of their wines & cocktails. And our server Louis was very good as well. And as a bonus, there was a musician there who provided just the right amount of ambiance at just the right volume. Loved his tunes. Definitely recommend and will be back again soon.

A bit disappointed, waited probably 10 to 15 minutes until we were acknowledged when we walked into restaurant. Didn't really seem to have reservation, seemed understaffed. Several in our party got lobster dishes and it wasn't fresh. Decaf coffee took 40 minutes. Endless Aperol spritz took a while for 2nd one. Pasta was average. Told them we were celebrating two birthdays snd mother's day and no mention of either. Probably wouldn't go back for the price.

The paparadella porcini pasta is so delicious that I daydream about it. Everything at this restaurant is absolutely delicious. Are used to live in New York City in this. I would put up against Eddie and the Italian restaurants I’ve eaten at in the big city.
