    I love this place. Originally visited the Florence venue and then went several times to the DC location before it relocated to Annapolis. Love the vibe of the Annapolis location and the food is consistent across the locations. Our waiter was lovely and attentive. We ordered a number of their speciality cocktail drinks - the Italian version of spicy margarita was the table favorite and one of the old fashioned variations came out a little funky and they corrected it immediately. We started with the pasta sampler - do not miss this! Especially enjoyed the pesto gnocchi, the vodka penne and the mushroom linguine (or bucatini). The rotini with an arribiatta had a bit too much basil for me and not any spice, and we have no idea what the last one was - because they didn’t explain it properly and it came after the secondi meat dishes were served. They could have done a better job timing it out. Also recommend you do not order per person for the pasta sampler - order less than the number of people you are because you’ll want to leave room for other things. The eggplant parm app was phenomenal! The bread kept flowing to soak up all the different sauces. Our secondi dishes were the steak sampler - do not miss the blueberry filet - either in the sampler or as a full entree. It is a huge not sweet surprise. It is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this place. The balsamic reduction filet is also another not to miss dish. In our sampler we had a third steak with parm and some lemon - it was also delicious as it focused more on the cut of meat and less on the accompanying sauces. Have also tried several other steaks here and the last night the ribeye with the capers were underwhelming compared to everything else. Rounded the meal out with sautéed spinach - yum - and asparagus (too Woody/fiber-y) for me. Despite a few misses this time, this place is an amazing and I will continue to come back in the future wherever it is located.

    The tasting menus are a perfect way to experience all of the handmade pasta and sauces this restaurant has to offer. And the trio of steaks was another star of the evening

    The soup and lobster pasta were delicious; the halibut a bit less so. In fact, the pasta dish was arguably the best one I've ever had, and I've traveled to Italy several time. Service from Gregory was great, and the atmosphere is upbeat. And he recommended a wine that was perfect. The only issue is that a party of 10 at the table adjacent to ours was celebrating a birthday and were very loud. Happy that they had fun but it made conversation challenging. I'd definitely go back but would try to get a table that's not next to a big table!

    The pasta sauce is one of the best we’ve ever had. Must be the recipe from the Florence Italy restaurant.
