    The original Bartolatta's location, Ristorante remains impeccable while being totally comfortable and unpretentious. By focusing on the cuisine from a single region of Italy for a few weeks, you get to experience the focus and integrity of the kitchen. The service staff will/can guide you through the menu. It is a quaint room. Loved it. This is not a heaping pile of pasta Italian restaurant--it is an authentic and superb place to spend an evening.

    Over hyped, pretentious and food fair at best. Some items bland, others so salty we couldn’t finish. The service was efficient and attentive, but the “journey” story for the prix fixe was eye rolling and the food was in no way authentic to the region. The restaurant was much better before it decided to go to a prix fixe format. It’s trying to be something it’s not. I’m sure it won’t change as it was busy and the hype is working for them. But if you know good food, don’t bother.

    Was there a month ago, atmosphere was great as was the food again, however service was off this time - multiple choppy points best exemplified by the after dinner drink being off and despite raising the concern, no consideration was made, barely an acknowledgment, business as usual

    An amazing experience from start to finish. The food was amazing and the service and staff were unbelievable. We will be back for sure for other Regions!! Carissa and Nicole took care of us and were great. Nicole’s explanation and pronunciation of the dishes were perfect!! And the wine director (so sorry, don’t remember her name) was amazing as well. From the recommendation as well as the conversation, so friendly!!
