    We really wanted to like this place but the food was just not good. My ravioli was not cooked all the way and was hard in some bites. The bolognese was watery. My husband got crab tortelli. The sauce was not good and was heavy on lemon oil. The only saving grace was the cannoli, cappuccino, and zeppolis. Our wait staff were amazing and did a fantastic job but the reviews really misled.

    I was going to order the crab dish. My server mentioned that it was spicy, which made me reconsider. Then, she offered to have it made with a nonspicy sauce! Amazing!

    Very cool atmosphere, old school Italian restaurant. Great crowd, amazing staff & service, but the food was the real star of the show…. Everything we ordered was amazing & done to perfection! Highly recommend Iozzi’s Garden of Italy!
