    Worst Italian food Ive ever had. Got the eggplant thing and it was disgusting. Got it refunded and got charged for the side soup I had eaten before even though it was complementary? The explanation was because I hadnt eaten my entree which the soup came with but ate the soup, I had to pay for the soup. The garlic bread that came with the caprese was rock solid. My boyfriend got the seafood pasta and it was oily beyond belief. Food was almost inedible. DO NOT GO HERE!

    Colossal disappointment visiting Ristorante Italiano. The only positives I have in this review are regarding the friendly service staff and the charming atmosphere. We arrived for an early dinner, and opted to sit on the patio. The service staff was very attentive. We had bread and beverages on our table within minutes of sitting down. The food, however was highly disappointing. We started with the fried calamari and artichoke hearts. We were very disappointed to see that the calamari was merely calamari steaks cut into pieces and fried, not rings or tentacles. The fried artichoke hearts were quite overdone and fell apart, crumbling in our hands as soon as we picked them up. For an entree, I ordered the Salmon Risotto and was quite disappointed. I didnt eat a quarter of it. The salmon was salty and drenched in oil. The risotto underneath was a mix of al dente and over cooked mushy rice. It was like they had one batch leftover and mixed it with a new one. My bf ordered the New York Steak medium rare and received medium. The steak tasted fine even being over cooked. However, the white wine mushroom sauce was quite overpowering and he scraped as much off as he was able. We didnt bother looking at the dessert menu. Our meal came with a hefty check for a lackluster experience. We will not be back.

    Excellent food and very friendly service! Highly recommend it. We had fried artichokes, bruschetta that had avocado, caprese salad, mixed greens salad, verdure fettuccine, sun dried tomato gnocchi and tiramisu. All delicious! Highly recommend the place. It would be better to make a reservation else there will be a long wait. A year later, same excellent quality. Friday, 6pm there was no wait we could walk in and get a table.

Hi Maia, Sorry to hear you weren’t satisfied with your eggplant parmigiana. We were more than happy to get you something else when the server offered it to you and you actually declined. Therefore you were charged for what you only consumed which was the soup. The menu does state entree comes with soup or salad, you technically didn’t end up getting an entree. Also Your negative comment to the server at the restaurant was only regarding the eggplant. Nothing else was said about other food items. The only other complaint was you not wanting to pay for your soup. But we were happy to see your boyfriend ate his food considering your comment. (:
