Second time I visit, no regrets at all. Everything we ate from the Thanksgiving special menu was second to none. From the Bruschetta to the Risotto and then from the Polenta Rib to the Agnolotti. To finish? the amazing Pecan Dessert and Pumpkin Cheesecake. Solid 9.90. WIll be back soon.

Excellent food and good service. Only complaint is that our table was by the service station and an outside door. We could see siren lights from across the street most of the dinner. That is not a big deal, but it was uncomfortably cold at our table. The rest of the restaurant seemed appropriate temp, but I was uncomfortably cold the whole dinner. I know someone has to get the crappy table; unfortunately it was us.

Apps were good, Caesar salad excellent but main courses disappointing. Bolognese sauce was more like tomato sauce. Tortellini not very good either. Pacing of dinner courses was poor

We absolutely loved our experience. The atmosphere was modern and perfect for a date night. We loved the happy hour deals and appetizers before we went to our table for dinner. We did not enjoy the Spunoni dessert, but everything else was fantastic.

First visit since the place was converted from Ben Pao.. Beautiful feel (reminiscent of our beloved LEYE "Avanzare" restaurant). The music level was, in our opinion, too loud to maintain a pleasant conversation. It id not seem to affect other diners. Your Italian wines list is superb. We tried a bottle from Sicily (on our own but with approval from your in house sommelier).

Hi Paul. Thank you for your high ratings and kind words about RPM Italian. We appreciate your feedback about the music level and we'll certainly take it into consideration. Your comments about our Italian wines list have been noted and we're glad you enjoyed trying one from Sicily. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great dining experience. Cheers Team RPM Italian
