    Went in prior to a show at the Hippodrome and went to the bar for a drink. Ordered one of "Chips" salads (best in town), then went ahead and ordered dinner. The bartender was wonderful and the atmosphere makes you feel as though you've been going there all your life. Great food, amazing home made bread and the salad is probably my favorite ever. You'll enjoy it!!

    My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and the Tagliata staff were so celebratory by writing us a personalized card and bringing out complimentary Prosecco. The service was outstanding—genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve had at a restaurant. The food was delicious and some of the best, most authentic Italian we’ve tasted.
