   The food was good, but the service was extremely slow. My husband enjoyed his shrimp diavolo and the zucchini fritti are addictive! Unfortunately, I thought my salmon was overcooked and the broccolini was mostly stems. I’ll still be back, but I’ll stick with the pasta dishes!

   Sadly we arrived at 7:30 and didn’t receive our dinner until 9:30. Our waiter was very kind and obviously frustrated on how the kitchen was running behind. Appetizers were cold, and it took a very very long time to receive drinks after a request. We also had to wait for our reserved table for 4. We saw two empty tables and asked to be seated, and the hostess told us the table was for 5-6 people. Only to see her seat a family of 4 at the table we requested about 15 minutes later. We asked why they were able to sit and she said someone in their party didn’t show up. This was extremely frustrating and we should have been seated. Waiter did comp one of appetizers since it took too long to receive our meals. Loved this place last time but not sure if we will return after last night.

   Place is very chic loved it, food not good at all, very bland dry overcooked. Waitress was not very pleasant and at times sarcastic. Sad heard lots of good things about here but very disappointed.

   Bar Italia is always a great choice for dinner. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the service is fantastic. They offer awesome cocktails and delicious appetizers and entrees. If you haven’t tried Bar Italia yet, then you are missing out on a great experience.

   I had an incredible time at Bar Italia. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish we tried was delicious the Crispy Chicken Limone stood out as particularly amazing. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be coming back.

    Great ambiance, great food, was easy to make a reservation, and it was half off bottles of wine-perfect date night spot!
