Best Italian Restaurants in College Area

Another great evening of food, drinks and service. Thanks to Heather for the great Manhattans and Levi for his always excellent service and friendship. See you in December!

We came in last night and had a wonderful experience. Our server was Alessandra and she was just amazing. First off the place is so cute & trendy, I love what they did with the space. We started our meal with the fritto misto (mixed calamari & veggies), fungo ripieno (mushroom w artichoke, red sauce & polenta) which was my personal favorite (the polenta was to die for) and the crispy burrata. We ate everything and left no crumbs ! Then we went on to our main courses. We ordered the fettuccine tartufo (mushroom & truffle - our tables favorite), spicy vodka pasta, ragu Della Nonna (red sauce with meat), and the parmigiana Milanese (eggplant Parmesan). Everything was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfect & al dente, we ate what we could & took the rest home! Then came dessert. It was my father’s birthday and they offered us a dessert of our choice, Alessandra recommended the fresh made table side tiramisu -good choice. Flavors were so well balanced. We also ordered the cannoli and was one of my favorite cannolis ever! Needless to say we will be coming back again! Thank you for the great dinner.

Amazing, as usual. This was my 2nd speciality dinner at Cori Pastificio. Acursio and staff always excel at service, food, creativity. From the cocktail to the plates and the wine pairings--excellent, and we learned about the creativity of local chefs using local seafood and local people to present beautiful and delicious food.

Siamo Napoli exceeded our expectations! Giovanni (one of the owner brother) assisted with our dining choices. We had calamari appetizers, shrimp risotto with a saffron cream sauce, lobster ravioli, and osso bucco everything perfectly executed. We were served tiramisu for our friend’s wedding celebration and a lovely limoncello cake for my birthday on the house. I had Pinot Grigio a Sicilian style and our friends had super Tuscans outstanding! Run don’t walk to experience Sismo Napoli. There is some parking available otherwise street

I went to Alexander's on 30th to celebrate 3 months in my current relationship. The service was great, the food delicious and the ambiance very conducive for a date. The parking was limited but it's SD after all. I highly recommend this restaurant.
