Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Some of the best food I've ever had. If you haven't checked this place out yet - what are you waiting for (except the long waits for a reservation, which should tell you EXACTLY how good this place is!)

    ecently dined at Red Ash Italia for the first time, and I completely understand why reservations are a must. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that this place is something special. The food was nothing short of exceptional. I started with the prime steak bruschetta, which was the perfect balance of rich, savory flavors. For the entrée, I had the spaghetti paired with wood-fired meatballs—an absolute highlight. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the meatballs were tender and packed with flavor, complemented by a smoky depth from the wood fire. To cap off the meal, I indulged in the housemade gelato. It was the ideal sweet finish, creamy and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was equally impressive—attentive but not

    Excellent as always. We’ve never had a bad meal here and service is always excellent. Even if we’re sitting at the bar, as we did tonight, we are made to feel special. Tonight I had the halibut which was outstanding and shared this unreal chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert. Plan ahead and make your reservation two months out. It’s worth the effort!
