   We came for my mother’s birthday, and the service was incredible from the moment we walked in to when we left, we were treated with amazing service making it truly a special night for my mom! We had absolutely delicious appetizers, and dinner was outstanding some of the best Italian food if not the best I’ve had in a long long time! My mom even said she’s going to want to order food from there to take home often now! Definitely loved the atmosphere, food and service! Will definitely be back!

   If you are looking for authentic Italian food that you don't find in othe restaurants you are at the right place. The food was phenomenal and the waitstaff was extremely attentive and caring. The gm could not have been more caring, with newcomers being treated no different than the regulars. The best Italuan food I've had since moving from Brooklyn 33 years ago.

   Order came out wrong. Pork chop well done. Took a very long time to replace. Pasta was cold. Manager was not too concerned and didn’t offer anything for all the inconvenience. Over priced for mediocre food and very loud atmosphere.

   The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

   I was disappointed as this was our second time there, I was expecting the antipasto cart to come around, and instead, the girl just chose 12 things for us, and one of the things was red and yellow peppers that were marinated that were not anything I would ever chose. And the prawns that I had were very tough .

    We went to the Italiano Monday evening and it was a wonderful experience! We had just returned from a 3 week trip to southern Italy and my wife and I remarked to each other that the food was better than anything we had in Italy (and it was fabulous in Italy). She had the Gnocchi and I had Shrimp and salmon picatta. We also had the Burrata appetizer and a Caesar salad. We enjoyed an excellent tiramisu that was in an edible chocolate cup for desert. The wine we enjoyed with dinner was a super Tuscan and was excellent. The portions were great and the service from Gary was excellent. We even had a wonderful conversation with Eddie the manager who stopped by our table to ask if we enjoyed evrything ( which we did). Its a beautiful restaurant and Chef Joey has created an exciting place for people to enjoy great Italian cuisine!!
