    We love The Italiano! The food was excellent! Our waiter, Giovani, was on top of it and made the night amazing. He even put up with my attempt at speaking Italian and dumb jokes. This is one of our favorite places to eat! It is a little loud but we worked through it! I highly recommend The Italiano!

    I love this restaurant! The decor & ambiance make you feel like you are in Italy. The food is always consistent and delicious. So many wonderful options. The presentation of the Caesar salad is so cool in a crustini bread bowl.The drinks not only have an aesthetic beauty to them, but they are so good, especially their unique version of a Bellini.  The service is welcoming, attentive & friendly. My daughter says they have the best tiramisu! Can’t wait to go back!

    Service was outstanding. Menu is plentiful with a great variety of choices. Food was good, but for the price, not outstanding and the portion size was a bit light. With all said, we will be back.

    Felt rushed. Took away my salad plate to serve main course. Served wine half way through our main course. Food is wonderful but you pay the price for it.

    This is a new restaurant and an immediate success. Classic Italian menu, produced with good ingredients and huge portions. While it lacks refinement in the food, service and ambience, it delivers delicious and enjoyable meals. The only issue is the large dining room with many less than desirable tables in the back while the bar area and fireplace room are more appealing spaces. The dessert choices are not up to the rest of the menu and should be improved. Nobody raves about spumoni.
