Best Authentic Restaurants in Pigtown

Jamie made it so easy for our date night to be great. She asked if we had ever been before and we hadn’t so she took the time to make sure we were familiar with the menu and drink menu. Telling us what we could do, what entrees could be paired together, and items that were not on the menu and were available to order. She made amazing recommendations for the food and we had the NY strip steak with a crab cake and got lobster and additional crab mean with some mashed potatoes. Everything was spectacular. We even paired it with a few glasses of Chardonnay. 10/10 experience and we will be back!

Excellent experience! The dinner was excellent with each course being well balanced and with excellent options. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the baklava at the end was amazing!

We love it at Azumi and normally go once per year. But we would like that to change. Being on the water summer would be a great time to go and sit on the patio. We ordered a bunch of smaller plates and shared among the table of 4…crispy rice, tempura shrimp, tuna tartare, calamari, gyoza, and 4 -6 specialty rolls. All of it was awesome. Azumi never disappoints! The meal was expensive…$80 per person but the food is impeccable, service is fantastic and very efficient.

From start to finish, our dinner at Tagliata was exceptional. We began with the charcuterie board, letting our server surprise us with the meat selection, and they did not disappoint. The prosciutto was especially good—not too salty or fatty/stringy—while the darker cured meat was equally delicious. The Fontina and Pecorino paired beautifully with everything. For our second course, my boyfriend had the Caesar salad, which featured fresh anchovies in the dressing, adding a great depth of flavor. I had the Brussels sprout salad, which was fresh, well-balanced, and a great choice before the main course. For entrées, I ordered the Australian Wagyu steak special with bone marrow sauce. It was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and complemented by roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. My boyfriend had the rigatoni alla vodka, which he said was seasoned perfectly. To top it all off, we shared the tiramisu, and it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had—light, creamy, and full of rich espresso flavor. I didn’t get their names, but the service was attentive and knowledgeable, and the ambiance made for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend
