IT! Italy Ristorante & Cafe & Bar

Went here with one of my moms by chance and left very happy! We had a manager as a our waiter- the service, very good, the food, delicious, and the decor and music- on point! Hip, chic, urban- fabulous! Idk what people on Yelp are complaining about- very nice!

This was my daughter’s choice for her 16th birthday. The staff was very accommodating, we were running late & bartender was super kind on phone. Drinks were good (although I might suggest tray service to avoid 3-4 trips for first pass). Server was timely. Our group had Gnocci (2-ways); Flatbread (2-ways); Burrata appetizer w/prosciutto; Calamari appetizer; Vegan Salad; Chic Fettuccine; Grilled Chicken; Tiramisu; Flan; Creme Brûlée; Gelato; a cappuccino; 2 bar drinks; 1 Bubble Water & a few sodas. The highlights were the cappuccino (it was perfection) & sparkler in Tiramisu. The chicken was well-prepared & had a lovely orchid garnish. The Gelato was delicious & my daughter enjoyed her birthday sparkler. The restaurant was very clean & I appreciated the avant-garde, designer decor & lush greenery. Overall, our dinner check was close to $400. So without a bottle of wine or an expensive cut of meat it seemed expensive for potato dumplings, pasta & one poultry dish. But I’m adding

Pretty good but not great. I ordered the calamari for appetizer and Frutti di Mare as a main course. Both were pretty good. The linguine was served al dente which was nice however the Frutti di Mare was a little dry. More sauce and some garlic would have made it just right. As with most restaurants these days, waitstaff are in high demand. Unfortunately this was reflected here. The servers barely attended to the table. That’s not reflected in my rating as we are in unusual circumstances.
