Came here to spend the evening with a couple of girlfriends. Arrived at 9:30pm which in my opinion was perfect. Have eaten here previously at the usual 7-8:30pm dining times and yes it was a little noisy. However, what do you expect? This is an Italian restaurant with an open plan kitchen!! The fact that you can see all the... More

We ate at the Italian Kitchen this weekend and had an outstanding dining experience. Not only was the food delicious but the service we received was outstanding. Our server Scott really went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect evening. He had a great knowledge on the menu and really impressed us with his warm and engaging service.... More

We had an early reservation to avoid the crowds...good idea! The restaurant is very chic but comfortable. My husband and I split a margarita pizza and a penne dish. The food was awesome! The margarita pizza had beautiful slices of yellow tomato on it. The pasta was al dente and the sauce just thick enough. The family style dishes coming... More

We went for dinner tonight. We ordered calamari,linguine carbonara and garganelli pollo. All of these dishes were prepared In a fine manner and tasted satisfactory with plenty of flavor with one problem all the servings were for us far to large so suggest that you don't over order here as it could be far to much to eat. Maybe we... More

First class service - great food. Every one in our party of five enjoyed it and would definitely return. We shared gelatto and cherries for dessert - almost licked the bowl it was so good.

After reading all the reviews, I was expecting a bit more. It was very noisy, and the food was OK but not great. The service was OK, waiter kept reaching across the table in front of us and was never there when we wanted him. Would not go back

Great overall dining experience. The chef, Shaughn, chose our meal for us...marinated eggplant bruschetta, a fresh mozzarella/proscuitto plate, and zucchini blossoms with tomato salad for appetizers were delicious. The lamb with brussel sprouts were wonderfully flavored, and my husband felt like he had eaten the best pasta in his life! Our friendly server, Adam, selected a perfect wine pairing for... More
