    Standard Italian was wonderful. Everything tasted amazing but you have to get the Parm-Onion Dip. I will be back and recommending Standard Italian to friends and family.

    Experience was OK but not great. Location is somewhat removed. Noise level playing loud wedding party music was annoying and ru8ned the ambience. Food was good. We sat at the bar. Would not go out of my way to go again.

    Sat at the bar and service was quite poor. Very good food; good atmosphere; and hosts were very courteous and helpful. Bartenders were smug and focused on everything other than serving us.

    We loved it. The food was delicious. Creative without being over the top. Great atmosphere. Open kitchen, long bar — very comfortable setting.
