   Very nice meal from country bread with ricotta (though a little too much cheese if that’s possible), pasta Genovese and especially good tiramisu. Excellent server Sarah M. Nice ambience-lively but not too loud. Their brunch is good too!

   I made a reservation @ 6pm for 2 in December for my girlfriends birthday and when we showed up we were told our table was not ready and we had to wait outside in the 30 degree weather. I was especially disappointed because when I made this reservation online there is a section that states different size parties can only be seated at the table for a certain amount of hours, meaning we should have had no issue with getting our table. We waited 10 minutes outside before we got too cold and went inside and waited another five minutes for them to clean the table. Once seated it took 15 minutes for someone to bring us water, and then after bringing our drinks we didn't see out waitress for another 15 minutes to order. All in all we were very disappointed with the experience, food was decent. My pizza was a little under cooked in the middle. Edit - I misheard the woman as there was only pasta on the floor

   Went with our family to celebrate our sons Birthday, the food was excellent our server was very nice ,although the experience was not enjoyable due to there heating problem where they weren't able to get the heating company to fix the issue of no heat in that area of there building.that evening, and sitting near the front ever time someone walked into the front door the cold air would blow rite near our table. We had to keep our coats on to stay somewhat warm.and the bathroom was like a cooler when you walked in there you can see your steam from your breath that's how cold it was.so our experience wasn't that Enjoyable. I would like to go back and see how our experience would be when they get the heating issue fixed.

   I’ve been to bar italia a couple of times and it has never missed! The food and flavor is amazing and you can tell it’s made from scratch. Overall this place is a must try and the spaghetti and meatballs are an 11/10.

   Greeted immediately and given choice of seating. Prompt and attentive service from bar staff, as we chose to sit at bar. Staff suggested their replacing a beer when mentioned it did not taste like what was ordered. Appetizer and meals served hot. Staff checked back frequently. Nice background music. Enjoyable, relaxed, delicious meal!
