    When ITA first opened, I tried it twice and I never really liked it. Last night when I was looking for a restaurant to take my wife for our anniversary, after reading the latest reviews, I decided to give it another try. Last night, ITA exceeded our expectations. Our server was patient & kind and made sure that we're well taken care off despite of attending the floor all by himself. The chef & pizzaiolo made the food with their heart, it was delicious! From the presentation to flavor profile of the food, I was amazed. The drinks we're good too. The only thing that maybe they can improve on is the choice of music, some jazz or something subtle will lighten up the mood. But other than that everything is great! I would say that ITA would be one of our favorite Italian restaurant from now on, I hope it stays consistent. Thank you ITA staff from last night. You made our hearts & tummy happy!

    Food was very good. We split the appetizer and entree and there was enough for two of us and the house wines are a bargain.The ambiance is the best feature. You can have a conversation in a normal voice, a rarity in restaurants these days.
