Dinner at Antica Sicilia was excellent and worry free. We came in an hour and half early before our reservations thinking there was a bar that we could hangout. Because there was no bar, the hostess seated us in our table early which we really appreciated. We started with some appetizers, cocktails, and a bottle of wine while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. Luigi and the rest of the wait staff were very patient in attending to our needs while we wait for the rest of the party. Overall food was delicious and satisfying and service was excellent. For appetizers, our party had the Speck & Dates, Arancinette Alla Carne, Octopus Carpaccio, and the Zucchini Flowers. My wife and I shared the Bucatani Cacio & Tartufo and Bistecca alla Griglia. Both were delicious, cooked to order, and seasoned well. But the Bistecca vegetable was a bit sparse with three stalks of Broccoli. It is my impression that the rest of the party were happy with their mains. We enjoyed our meals and did not notice that we had been there for five hours! All that time the service staff cleared our table, refilled our wine and water, and checked how we were doing. Definitely, a must go place for Italian food in Salt Lake City. read more

The second I walked in this place I loved it! The ambience is amazing. I'm very picky about sit down restaurants, and the ambience was perfect! It was dark with a little bit of light making it very romantic if that's what you're looking for. We were a party of 10. I absolutely love the food! Just be aware that the portions aren't huge but not small. The only reason I am giving this a four star is the service. The waiter was very concerned about making sure everyone ordered more when we had already placed our order. The concerning part is when we need more water I did feel like I had an empty glass a few times. I wasn't sure if it was her or another gentleman that was helping us that was supposed to watch that. They also give complementary bread. We asked for extra bread as they said we could get as much as we want, but as we asked for more, the waite seemed annoyed. it was just a little disappointing, but she was always super excited to ask if we wanted a dessert or anything else. read more

Luigi!! What a treat to have such an amazing waiter along side one of the best Italian meals we've had in Utah! The quality of food is unmatched. We treated our family to a back to school dinner out. Here's what we ordered; But first the house bread, baguette, focaccia, with olive oil and aged balsamic dip, and tomato puree and ricotta sauce - all of them, so good! Sautéed mussels in a tomato garlic wine sauce with charred toasted bread. Delicious, all of us loved it! We ordered a few things off the menu and shared them all. Signature carbonara- made table side, absolutely perfect, creamy, flavorful with little bits of pancetta, you can't go wrong with this dish. Tagliolini - seafood pasta, so flavorful, so yummy, my youngest son was obsessed with this pasta. Mushroom ravioli- so light, so fluffy pasta, delicious little packets of love! Agnolotti - filled with Brie, prosciutto, and walnuts, my personal fav pasta dish, so creamy and rich and sweet with that touch of honey, loved it!! Salmon- yes please! Perfectly cooked and seasoned and melt in your mouth delicious. Desserts- lemon sorbet, all my boys loved this, I was so surprised!! Olive oil cake, perfect, moist, rich, so good! Pistachio cheesecake- wonderful, not too dense and rich like some cheesecake, it was light and fluffy and so yummy! The grandpa, with cream and chocolate was my personal fav, sweet and creamy with a touch of chocolate- hello! We will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu!! read more

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. The restaurant is beautiful, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. However, we had to wait about over 30 minutes for our main dishes which was quite disappointing. I also felt that the manager was not very attentive or welcoming toward us. When he prepared a pasta with cheese, he didn't really explain anything or communicate with us. It seemed like he just wanted to finish preparing the dish as quickly as possible. we do not think we should come back again read more

First off, it's always a plus when there's a convenient parking lot--makes a big difference. Don't let the exterior fool you--the inside is beautiful and much more elevated than you'd expect. We highly recommend making a reservation. We came on a Thursday night and it was already packed! Our server, Cristina, was phenomenal--her warm personality and spot-on recommendations truly made the experience even better. The restaurant serves family-style and prepares dishes just the way you want. We tried all the recommended appetizers from the menu, and each one was a hit--but the standout was definitely the calamari. For the pasta, the cheese wheel is a must for the tableside show, but honestly, the other pastas were just as good--if not better. And the seafood stew, ciopino? To die for. Do not leave without ordering it! This place is a gem. Already planning my next visit. read more

Visited for a work dinner with a large group and had nothing but a great experience. We had a large group 20 or so of us. We had a set menu due to the larger group and everything was amazing. The stand outs for me were the cocktails, carbonara and branzino saltimbocca were so good. The cheese wheel at your table is also a fun addition to dinner Overall I felt the service was great, especially given the large party. And it was a really nice atmosphere. read more

This was one of the best meals I've had in Utah, not to mention the best Italian I've had. We had an absolutely magical night at Antica Sicilia. First of all, major props to our server Catherine (and our food runner Mason). Catherine was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about every part of the menu. She made a great evening even better. We came for my birthday, and we were not disappointed. I've lived in Italy and I'm a little picky about Italian food, and this was a really great meal. We started with 2 appetizers: Arancini and the charcuterie board. Both were fantastic. The Arancini were perfectly crispy, with perfectly cooked risotto and slow-cooked meat sauce inside. It was served on a ladle of tomato sauce. The charcuterie board had 2 different types of prosciutto, mortadella, regular and spicy salami, a sliced cheese and 2 types of Gorgonzola. We order charcuterie a lot of places, and we usually come away thinking it was a little overpriced. This plate was stellar, with high-quality ingredients throughout. Absolutely worth the price. The free bread basket that came early to the table was also delicious. The spoonful of red pepper pesto that came with the bread was so good I'd eat it on cake. We had to force ourselves to stop eating the appetizers and bread so we would have room for the pasta course. The pastas did not disappoint. We of course had to order the spaghetti carbonara, since we knew the tableside preparation was not to be missed. We also ordered the pacchero with pancetta and burrata. Both pastas were impeccably cooked and utterly delicious. Both had a creamy sauce with crispy pancetta, which really added flavor and texture to each dish. Throughout the meal we were checked on (but not too often), and we were never rushed or made to feel anything less than welcome and appreciated. I want to give a final and second shoutout to our server Catherine. If every server were as close to perfection as Catherine, then every meal would be perfect. Catherine is an amazing asset to Antica Sicilia. Thank you for a perfect birthday dinner - we will be back next year, if not sooner! read more

Every bite was like a party in my mouth! We got the arancinetre alla carne to start, the carbonara with pollo Milanese and paccheri pancetta & burrata for our main then finished up with gelato for dessert. Catherine was our server and she was fantastic! She gave us a lot of great recommendations. The space is a little small but we didn't feel cramped or feel like we were sitting on top of the next table. It's a little pricey which is to be expected so we won't be going frequently but we will definitely be back! read more

Staff so attentive and gave great recommendations. The Italian beer and pistachio spritz were both great and unique. Bread served first with spreads and oil/balsamic delish. Arancini had great flavor and decent portion. Carbonara and pistachio pasta both so flavorful and rich. Inside is white tablecloth and very much had Italian feel to it. read more

If Italy had a love song, this restaurant would be it. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed. The ambiance? Perfectly warm and welcoming, like a hug from Nonna. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the carbonara. Oh. My. Goodness. Creamy, silky, cheesy, and just the right touch of magic--every bite felt like a celebration. It wasn't just pasta; it was an experience made at the table. If I could marry a dish, this would be it (don't tell my partner). The service? Impeccable. Our waiter treated us like a long-lost cousin, recommending the perfect the meal. Long story short: If you haven't eaten here, you're seriously missing out. Go for the carbonara; stay for the olive oil cake. We WILL be back! read more

The best Italian I have ever eaten. You MUST get the Caesar salad. They make it table side and it is amazing. We split the bruschetta and Caesar salad. I had the gnocchi in the four cheese sauce and it was perfect. The gnocchi melts in your mouth. My sister ordered the pasta prepared table side in the cheese wheel. It was so good with a perfect combination of flavors. We had a cannoli and nonna's desert and they were so delicious. I've had many cannolis in Boston, NYC, etc. and this was the best filling I have ever had. My sister said nonna's desert was the best desert she's ever had. The service was phenomenal!! Ricardo took amazing care of us. If I'm ever even close to SLC I will be making the trip! Can't recommend this place enough! read more

This dining experience was exceptional. The food was off the charts flavorful and the service may have even topped that. Our server Matteo was friendly and attentive. We started with the Bruschetta which was fresh and full of flavor, a lovely brightness about it. We felt compelled to try the carbonara which was rich and we loved the way they prepared it table side. We followed the pasta with the filet mignon with Gorgonzola which was cooked perfectly and the perfect 3rd course. It didn't look like a lot of food but we had to get our Tiramisu to go we were so full. The ambiance was cozy and if only I had not forgotten my license I would have probably stayed for a bit drinking a good bottle of wine. We will be back. read more

When you land at the Salt Lake City airport and you're on a mission to carb-load your way to Park City, Antica Sicilia whispers sweet nothings to you in the form of a wheel of Parmesan. I mean... how do you say no to that? You don't. You just follow the cheese. Let's start with the good: the Pasta Carbonara was creamy and rich, like a Roman vacation in a bowl. But let's talk pancetta. Half of it was perfectly crispy and salty like pancetta dreams are made of. The other half? Giant chewy cubes that gave my jaw a workout. I didn't come here for CrossFit, I came for carbs. Then came the gnocchi--which sadly leaned more "weighted blanket" than "cloud-like pillow." I wanted to float into Italian heaven, but instead, I sank into a starchy reality. BUT THEN--Nonna's olive oil cake swooped in like an apron-wearing angel. Moist, tender, flavorful. It's like if lemon and love had a baby. Highlight of the meal, no contest. Now let's talk about the service. And Raul. Oh Raul. Sweet guy, very polite, but seemed like he was in a passionate, committed relationship with confusion. Our drinks sat there empty, just as parched as we were. We had to flag him down for a second cocktail like we were at a baseball game trying to catch a beer vendor. He also had trouble keeping our order straight, and I was tempted to just pass him a note with bullet points. Meanwhile, the kid working next to him? STAR. He was serving tables like he was auditioning for the next season of The Bear. Told the tale of Nonna's cake like it was Shakespeare. We were low-key jealous our table didn't get the main character energy. Final verdict: The food was solid, the cheese wheel had us at hello, and Nonna clearly knows her way around a cake pan. But next time, I might request to sit in that other server's section. read more

We went on a Thursday, and there was a live jazz band--loved it! Our waiter was super passionate and really knew the food, which is always a good sign. We all had to unbutton by the end because the food was that good. Starting with the bread, they brought out a bunch of different kinds, and the condiments came with olives, tomatoes (or was it red pepper?), and fresh sardines! This is where I made my first mistake... I ate two different types of bread. We ordered the Arancinette Alla Carne--definitely bigger than bite-sized! They were perfectly crispy on the outside, but the rice inside was so tender. The Fritters Di Pesce came in three adorable baskets. The shrimp was as crispy as crackers, and the fresh sardines were so flavorful. They were so good, we had to get a second round. The Polipo Don Pino was another massive portion. The octopus looked a little intense at first, with those big tentacles, but it was super tender and packed with flavor. Totally worth trying. Now for the main event: the signature Carbonara! So creamy, so rich, and the tableside 'show' makes it a must-order. You won't regret it! The Cioppino was loaded with seafood, and the fun pizza dough on top was the perfect touch. Sadly, I couldn't finish it because... lobster pasta showed up, it was the day's special, and my friend got so excited we had to try it. And you have to save room for dessert. Trust me. We had the Tiramisu, Olive Oil Cake from grandma's recipe, a chocolate cup, and cannoli. It was tough to pick a favorite, but 7 out of the 7 of us all agreed: the Tiramisu wins! The warm, light Olive Oil Cake was the perfect contrast. I could go on, but you really need to try this place for yourself. My only complaint? It's a bit dim and dark, if that even counts as a complaint, haha! read more

5 stars, 5 stars, 5 stars!!!!! I would give them infinite stars if I could. To start this is a quaint intimate restaurant. The owner is from Sicily and let me just say that it definitely shows. This might be my favorite Italian restaurant of all time! Our server was Claudio and I cannot say enough positive things about him! He was very knowledgeable, attentive, and a fun energy. He gave us in depth descriptions along with his recommendations of what to order. He continuously came back to refill our wine and make sure we were enjoying our food and time. I loved the slow pace of the restaurant as well. The service was exceptional but we never felt rushed. In fact we were encouraged to take our time and enjoy the wine and food. When you get sat they bring out bread with some toppings. I believe that it was roasted red pepper spread, a cheese with olives, and an anchovy. Once we finished our bread our table was cleaned off and entirely reset for dinner. I ordered the Ravioli Burro E Salvia which was a mozzarella ravioli with an amazing butter sage sauce. Claudio recommended that I add shaved truffle on top to enhance the flavors, so I did. This was my first time being at a restaurant that had really truffle mushrooms and I am so so glad that he recommended it because although it's an extra $35 for the truffle, it was so worth it! Truffle mushrooms are such a delicacy and to be able to enjoy the earthiness and succulence of the truffle with the butter sage pasta sauce was a highlight of my meal. My friend ordered the Filet with Gorgonzola sauce. I do not like steak typically but this was an amazing steak. We also ordered a bottle of the Vosca Chardonnay which was so yummy and buttery and smooth. Finally we ordered the tiramisú and olive oil cake for dessert. Both were recommended by the bartender Matteo and were amazing as to be expected I truly cannot say enough positive things about our experience. This is definitely a fine dining restaurant and the prices reflect that but as do the ingredients and quality of the food and evening! I highly highly recommend for anyone visiting or a local craving Italian. Thank you Claudio for your energy and making the dinner so enjoyable read more

I've only been to a couple of Italian restaurants in Utah, and Antica Sicilia takes the cake as my favorite! I ordered the carbonara with a side of chicken and it was incredible. I loved that I got to watch my carbonara be made table side in a huge wheel of cheese. It was the best pasta dish I've had in a long time. The carbonara was creamy, filling, and the crispy chicken was the cherry on top to make my meal incredible. Service was top notch. Our server was kind, attentive, and ensured my friends and I enjoyed our experience and our food. Ambiance is dim lighting, intimate and romantic. This is a great spot for a date or a night with a few close friends. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Antica Sicilia - Carbonara with a side of chicken - Italian Near Me - Millcreek, Utah

This is probably my favorite restaurant of all time! My boyfriend introduced me to it last year and since then it has become one of our favorite places! They have a great selection of wines and all of the servers are well informed and helpful when choosing a drink. We tend to always get the steak, which I personally think is better than Ruth's Chris, along with the carbonara pasta. The pasta is cooked and served in a giant cheese bowl right by your table! It is amazing and so delicious! We always try different sides as well. Some of our favorites are the shrimp and caprese salad. They also have the prettiest silverware and plates. The atmosphere is very romantic and the service is always great. We absolutely love this place! It's especially great for couples looking to have a romantic night out. They always have great specials for two. read more

My husband and I had an exceptional experience at Antica Sicilia last month to celebrate a milestone anniversary of ours! We have previously been to this location, but this visit warranted a review! Our server was Claudio and he absolutely made our experience especially stand out from our prior visits. He made exceptional recommendations, while also being genuinely honest about suggestions when ordering! He was incredible. Our meal started off with the classic bread pairing they offer with all meals. The sauces and sardine that came with it were delicious. Any combination you paired into your bite, you were going to enjoy! One suggestion I will always make when it comes to Antica Sicilia is to order at least one of the specials whenever you go. It is NEVER a miss! The specials tend to be particularly pricey, but they are truly worth it. We enjoyed their special prawn appetizer and oh my, one can not truly put into words how outstanding this part of our meal was! Each prawn was wrapped and baked in a layer of filo dough, then accompanied with several different sauces on the dish. You were then presented with a very small pitcher filled the most beautifully executed brine-y sauce to drizzle over the top. This honestly had to have been one of my favorite dishes I have ever consumed! For our main course, I decided to try the Cacio E Pepe and my husband ordered the Signature Carbonara as he typically would. Both dishes were amazing. Their house made pasta is to die for. The Cacio E Pepe comes with a bucatini noodle which is one of my favorites and the made it perfectly. You can't ever go wrong with the Carbonara as well because you get the side table cheese wheel experience. You pay for the quality of food and the experience when coming to Antica Sicilia. We are always excited at the opportunity to return! read more

The service and ambiance are bar none here. The servers wait on you hand and foot. The soft light cabin feel transports you another place. Fun, winter cocktails quench your thirst and are creative. The wine options fit any queen! Do order a lovely table side dish whatever that may be. You get food and a show!!! We had 3 table side dishes, the Caesar salad, carbonara pasta & the ribeye. The stunner was the ribeye, they catch the steak on fire and melt the truffle butter! We shared the mussels as an appetizer, lovely. The bread bowl was nice but make sure to also ask for olive oil and balsamic vinegar too. Our focaccia was left in the oven a wee too long and hard, but I am sure if you ask them they would replace it. Other than that we all had spectacular dishes. Our favs were the ribeye with the truffle butter, and sage and butternut ravioli. The desserts are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Do yourself a favor and order the Coppa Del Nonno, it was OMG good!!! read more

Your dining experience starts with seating at an intimate table inside this warm and inviting boutique restaurant. The cadence of the wait staff is punctual without being overly intrusive. Suggestions made, questions answered, no rush, take your time. Once a delightful selection of breads arrives and your favorite drink sits in front of you, settle on menu choices for the kitchen to prepare. The Caesar salad freshly prepared table side is a must try experience. For our group, we all ordered a different pasta dish, sampled each other's choice and would have been happy to exchange our own for any of them. The food was the star but the great service greatly enhanced the evening. The breadth of the menu offerings calls for a return again to try new tastes. For a special occasion or frequent dining this is a must go to for the best in Italian fare. read more

My daughter loves going out and so we treated them for dinner. It was my husband and I, my daughter with her husband and our little grandchild and my son. We were visiting my daughter from CA! It was our second time at Antics Sicilia but my goodness what a change from the first time. The waiter Luigi talked and talked to us as if we had never eaten Italian! Tried to entice us into getting a cocktail that was concocted at the bar that day. He got disappointed when we stuck to our cocktail we usually get. To cut the story short the food was average at best but the best part was Luigi's effort to bump up the bill by bringing bottle after bottle of water without telling us we were charged for each and even if we want another bottle. When we left all our water glasses were to the rim. Later I noticed we were charged $27 just for water. When called to talk to the owner, Giuseppe, he agreed it was wrong and said he would put it all right by sending a dinner voucher to my daughter. Took my number to call back and was most apologetic. We thought what a great manger/owner. Sorry to say, it was all a show and he did not follow up with anything!! The waiter made the experience so bad that we shall never visit this reasturant anymore. The food had changed so much that it's not even worth going back. read more

Had a great experience. The place feels like a European chalet inside. The service was excellent. All the food was delicious. Loved the bread service. Had three types of bread but the real star was the whipped ricotta and sun dried tomato pesto. So good!!! The ceasar salad was pretty good. They make it table side. The bruschetta was excellent and all the pastas were too notch. I believe they are hand made in house. Great for a special occasion. read more

We recently did a wine and food tour through Italy and had some amazing dining experiences. A craving hit us and we took an Amarone we had brought back with us to Antica Sicilia. We felt like we were back in Italy. Not in some tourist trap around the corner from the Trevi Fountain, but a local restaurant in a small town in wine country. Incredible food, excellent service and a cozy atmosphere all combined for a remarkable evening. read more

What went well? Let's just say, everything went so beautifully that we've been back several times. The pasta is made from flour they import directly from Italy and I will tell you, there is a huge difference. The first dish we tried and have craved since was the Speck and Dates. Holy cow, that is a delicious and delightful dish. I would say anything is probably fantastic on the menu from there out but I know for sure that the Bucatini Cacio and Tartufo is amazing. I love the texture and taste of their pasta. My husband loves tiramisu and theirs is delicious. I love the ice cream that comes in a lemon. Five stars highly recommend coming here. Service staff was amazing, food was delicious and atmosphere was lovely. Very romantic and cozy place to eat. read more

A little dark and moody when we arrived in early evening, but a great ambiance for our dinner and we were seated even though we didn't have a reservation. The food was excellent; service was a little too attentive as we were interrupted often with questions about how we were enjoying ourselves. I suppose that's better than being ignored, but if we ask up front if we could have cocktails before ordering food and are told that's not a problem, then asking if we're ready to order 4 (four!) times while we're still sipping and talking is a bit much. The food was excellent--EXCELLENT--and our only other complaint was that two of their carts for the tableside specialty pasta (prepared in a hollowed out parmesan cheese round) got parked ahead of their use and our only path to leave was blocked, so we had to sit and wait for 10 minutes before we could stand and leave. Otherwise, we'd rate this 5 stars instead of 4. read more

My wife selected this venue to celebrate her birthday dinner, and the young maître d' was very accommodating by seating us in a 'relatively' quiet part of the restaurant. So, to begin, this was a tale of two extremes...nice chef-prepared Italian cuisine offset by exorbitant prices, spotty service, and restrooms that can only accommodate one person at a time. The menu was organized in courses ('natch) and everything appeared a la carte. So, to keep things reasonable (read: prices...which I'll expound upon here shortly) my wife ordered the Caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella, oil & vinegar) and the lasagna. I ordered a Panzanelle salad (cukes, olives, tomatoes, onions, vinaigrette dressing, on a bed of croutons) and the Cioppino. My son had the Tagliolini Sicilia Mia (think Cioppino on a bed of homemade pasta), and his wife had the Carbonara. Everything started with a basket of bread and some spreadable toppings. The kids enjoyed their food immensely, and my wife enjoyed her lasagna...but she commented that it wasn't any better that what we've experienced at Olive Garden. Ouch...that's going to leave a mark! Sorry...but true. My Panzanelle salad was laden with small quartered cuke slices...and did I mention that I hate raw cucumbers? However, I was hungry and ate the entire thing. Wasn't bad honestly...as the dressing and croutons made up for the cucumber taste. My Cioppino was meh. The pizza dough covering the large round bowl looked pretty impressive, but after it was cut open and set aside by a waiter the crisp "lid" thinned out and dried up. It was supposed to have been the bread (that comes with the Cioppino) and used for dipping, presumably, but it did not serve in that capacity very well. The remaining 'crust' around the bowl was better (thick/softer) as I pried it off and used that to soak up the 'soup'. The clams and mussels were plentiful but skimpy in what was left to pry out of the shell. I found just one shrimp in the entire bowl...along with a lot of calamari rings. The best part was the salmon in the broth and the broth itself. I just wish I had some Italian bread to soak it all up instead of having to resort to that 'pizza dough lid'. Now...the downsides: 1. "Luigi" did an OK job waiting on us but his service was spotty and irregular. For example, two tables to the side of us either started at the same time or arrived after us and finished way ahead of us. Yes, we notice things like that. I think Luigi got mad at us for having to hunt him down and ask for things like refills, salt and pepper, etc. Anyway, our party of four was seated there for two and a half hours (which included an entire hour between the salad and the main course!) That's ridiculous when other patrons got faster and more attentive service from Signor Luigi. 2. The restrooms were both one-person-at-a-time deals. And there was a line outside the men's room twice when I went to use it. Really? In such a fancy Italian restaurant? 3. The prices were exorbitant. For the four main courses and the two salads, four adult beverages, and no dessert, we got out of there at $289 including tip...and sat there for 2.5 hours as well. No value there, me thinks. Three Stars for good-tasting food offset by lackluster/distracted service, facilities that need upgrading, and inordinately expensive prices. No reason for us to return. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in Salt Lake! The food taste like it just came out of Italy. Everything is homemade daily at the restaurant. The chef is so nice and Loves to come out and talk to you at the tables the servers are very knowledgeable and make great recommendations. They are known for their signature carbonara served tableside. But the porcini bone in ribeye is also a masterpiece! If you're a meat lover, you have to try the Bolognese the ravioli with sage and butter is a great appetizer to share if you'd like to have a pasta appetizer one of my absolute favorites is the lasagna. They make each one on your plate and it is served with a wonderful béchamel sauce on top. You can't go wrong at this restaurant with your food choice and the service is an authentic experience. read more

What an interesting place. It seems a little over the top but we had a good time. My favorite item was the meatballs and the bread that came with them. The carbonara was good but I liked the red sauce of the gnocchi better. We were sat by the back door, which kept slamming, so that wasn't ideal. Claudio and Luigi weren't even our waiters but they made us laugh, which was fun read more

Food Quality: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 3/5 Overall, my experience was just ok. When we walked in, the staff was very nice and greeted us right away. Our party of 4 ordered 2 appetizers to share and then a pasta dish/meat dish each. The flavors were great and portion sizes were fair for the appetizers, but when the pasta dishes came out, I was a bit in shock at how little came out. For the appetizers, we got the arancinette- solid flavor, good portion size. We also got the Calamari Misto, solid flavor and good portion size. For the main course: Ravioli Tartufo e Funghi - my sister ordered it specifically because the menu says it had truffles on top. All it came with was pieces of sage and didn't have much truffle taste. There were only 4 pieces for a total of $58. I ordered the special tortelloni and while the presentation came out great along with the sage butter sauce, the pasta was very tough, not al dente as I would expect. There was little or no filling and the raviolis were nearly hollow. There were only 5 pieces for $49. Another pasta dish that our table ordered was the Carbonara, this was a better portion size, and tasted ok, nothing notable. $30 Milanese alla pizzaiola was a decent size and came with a small salad. Unfortunately the chicken was overcooked and pretty dry. The sauce on top made it a little better, but not something I would order again. $28 Some other notable items - not a huge deal. I ordered a sangria and was told immediately that they were out for the night (it was 6:30), then I ordered an aperol spritz and again told that they were out for the night. Next, I ordered a glass of wine and the server had to come back to and ask me what I ordered again because he had forgotten. Perhaps he was having an off day because he later charged us for the aperol spritz that never came. He took it off after we told him to, so it was fine after that. I really wanted to like this place because I know it's been here for a while and the parking lot is usually full. Sadly, I left still hungry. Can't say that I would come back anytime soon. The dishes just aren't worth the money. read more
