    One and done. There are too many great Italian restaurants in the city to bother going back to one which was bleh. The most memorable aspect of the many dishes we had was the lack of flavor

    First time checking out Standard Italian as it recently opened. The space is unique in that the tables are not right on top of each other. We had a first-rate waitress in Tiana who was friendly, attentive, but not overbearing. Food wise, the best dishes were the pork meatball appetizer and the lasagna. Honestly the best lasagna we’ve ever had out. And although not a lengthy list, some good wines at absolutely fair prices. Rooting hard for this place and we’ll be back again soon.

    Overall very good experience. Food was very good, a bit salty but good. Wait staff was excellent. Noise level not bad. Would like to see some additional protein options for fish and poultry.

    Standard Italian is a very solid and consistent place for good Italian food. They make all of their pastas in-house; their salumi and cheese selections are spectacular. Given it is the sister restaurant to both Eastern Standard and Equal Measure, you can count on excellent service and great cocktails. Definitely get the Standard Oil, a stellar martini. I also recommend the tiramisu to finish your dining experience.

    Drinks were delicious and food was good but not mind blowing. Two of us got pasta and third short rib(which she said was a bit dry). Nice ambiance!
