   Food was delicious and the Service was best in class! The cannoli cigars are an added touch of creative genius. Super fun dining experience!

   Service was attentive to the point of forceful and cringy. It’s not easy to get the balance right perhaps. But the worst part was the Terrible food. Very far from Italian pasta. Best avoided! I dislike leaving less than average reviews but, it all could be fixed if this wasn’t corporate run. It lacks soul

   We ate here on Thanksgiving Day - A family of 6 - Parents and two grown children with spouses. We were seated at a booth adjacent to a grand piano which was playing loudly. There was no hope of conversation. We asked to be changed to another place and were told there was nothing else. But eventually another table was found for us. I asked if they had plain spaghetti and meatballs with spaghetti noodles. Was told yes. What came was a pile of stuck together long noodles about half an inch wide. Not at all what two of us wanted and ordered. One son ordered the filet. It was the smallest filet I have ever seen served at a restaurant. We were not pleased. The manager came over and offered us a free dessert. Maybe if it wasn't Thanksgiving things would have been different. We are not likely to return.

   I'd been hearing a lot about the relatively new Italiano so decided to try it for a rather non-traditional Thanksgiving dinner with my husband, son and daughter-in-law. We we all delighted with the choice. The ambiance was lovely; not overly flashy, and definitely not too loud, even though I noticed we were not seated terribly far from the piano player. I'd describe it overall as "lively" but we we had no trouble with conversation at our table. There appeared to be a few dining areas, each seemed to have plenty of room between tables. I noticed the menu stated it was special for Thanksgiving, but there was still a good variety of selections. I chose the burrata as an entree and it was spectacular; my husband and the kids had the Caesar salad which I tasted and enjoyed as well. My main course was lobster ravioli, served in a not-too-heavy sauce, decent portion with enough for me to give my husband a fair amount of tastes. He enjoyed his linguine with clams. And we all thoroughly loved the two desserts we shared - Italian Rainbow cake and a spumoni cake -- delicious! The price may have been high - I think my ravioli was about $32 or so - but it was a nice holiday meal out so I'd say for a special occasion it was well worth it. Also, our server Jennifer was delightful and gracious and that always helps make dinner out a more pleasant experience!
