   We sat outside for lunch on their beautiful patio. The Italian wedding soup was one of the best I ever had! Highly recommend and will be back!!

   So disappointing. Service and food was subpar. Bread was burnt, Spaghetti was drowning in bland sauce, lasagna was burnt and rubbery, ice tea wasn’t refilled for over 30 minutes after asking more than once and waiter said they were out of glasses so brought in a to-go styrofoam cup making it feel like I was eating at fast a fast food chain kids meal. Server was not attentive to minor details like refills and just really didn’t seem like a good fit for the environment. The ambiance and building was beautiful so just a shame that nothing else could measure up.

   Great atmosphere and the food is fabulous! Thursday is 1/2 wine bottle so it’s a good place to try new wines. We have been here over 6 times! Everything is delicious!

   Great service, friendly staff, and excellent food. The Snapper and their Pizzas are fantastic! Everyone at our table loved their meals and had only good things to say about the experience at Bar Italia.

   A dog was allowed to sit at the table next to ours- inside the restaurant- (he was quiet at least) He never sat on the floor but sat with his head on the table edge on the chair. I love dogs and have one- but dogs should not be allowed to sit at a table, inside or out a restaurant. I hope the next patron sitting there isn’t allergic to dogs

   As always the food was delicious. This is the first time service was sub par. We were seated outside, which we had requested. When we started to order, we asked for the happy hour menu that we had seen on line. We were told that that menu was not available in our section. Seemed strange. We, of course will be back, hopefully will have a great experience.

    Our server Dillion was amazing! She was on point from hello. After that it was all downhill, which none of this review is a reflection on her, if it was just about Dillion it would be 5 Stars all day long. Not sure if its because it's snowbird season but Bar Italia's quality of food and drinks have tanked!! It's really a shame because when they first opened it was amazing. Maybe they have new chef's or maybe they are so busy they just don't care. Whatever the reason I highly doubt as a local resident that we will be back. Hopefully this will be read by the owners and maybe they can address the issues with their entire menu.
