    The food was prepared exquisitely and the service was excellent! The manager came to our table several times to ask if everything was perfect and if he could assist us any way. Atmosphere was friendly and lively!

    Very mediocre food, but good for the older crowd, the cart presentation needs a lot of work

    This was our second time - first dinner - at The Italiano. Carissa took expert care to suggest and serve a fabulous dinner! We started with the fried calamari that was tender and crispy. Side Caesar salads were very good The delicious Bolognese portions are huge and perfect for sharing! The lobster ravioli is outstanding. Although it was on the loud side, Sunday evening may be a great night to go for conversation compared to other reviews about the sound levels. The decor is truly breathtaking and the large walls of art are a wonderful addition to the atmosphere!

    Very nice restaurant and the food is amazing. Server was not very attentive and our meal took much longer than it should have. Also it was freezing in the restaurant.

    Overall our experience was very good. My entree, the branzino, was too salty, and when I told the server, it was replaced with another entree without a problem.. However, the experience was ruined when after having ordered desert and enjoying chatting, we were essentially told to vacate because they needed our table in order to add to an adjacent one for a large party. I told the general manager on the way out, and he apologized, but it still left a bad taste.

    Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was good considering that the place was packed. The ambiance (i.e. Vegas buffet) and noise levels makes me question when/if I will return.
