Date Night Aventine Rome !!…read more Date night was one for the books! After nearly 14 years together, we've enjoyed countless date nights and dined at many wonderful restaurants--but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. The food was absolutely exquisite, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server, Maddie, went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Her attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism elevated an already incredible experience. Maddie deserves gene highest level of promotion. We pray she goes far in life, she's awesome! If you haven't had the chance to visit Aventine yet, I highly recommend adding it to your list. Thank you, Aventine, for taking such great care of us. We can't wait to come back! - Haley; and Thomas Brown

We were at the lake and wanted a nice dinner while there. We basically googled "steakhouses near…read moreme" and stumbled upon this gem. We made reservations for 7:00 pm and got completely thrown off because of the change in time zones! We were staying 20 min away in CST and the restaurant was in EST. We called and they were extremely accommodating and moved our reservation. Once we got there, we were immediately seated and had the best meal. Our waitress was great! The owner even came by to chat with us and was extremely welcoming. He came by again towards the end of our meal to basically let us know, "the restaurant closes at 10 but that's just for new diners. Please order more drinks and stay as long as you'd like." So sweet!! If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely come back!

I had made reservations here a few weeks in advance of a planned stay in Rome. We were able to walk…read more2 blocks to the restaurant from our hotel, which was convenient. It is located on Broad Street in the heart of Rome's business district. We ate here on a Saturday evening. It appeared to be 80+ % full during our meal, but I'm glad we had reservations. We were seated promptly. Our server, Thomas, was very good. He checked back frequently and was able to provide advice about the menu, etc. The owner even circulated among the tables and introduced himself and talked a bit about the restaurant. It was nice without being at all intrusive. We split a salad, which was fresh and flavorful. They specifically wanted to defer the entree order until the salad came out, to better pace the meal. This was unusual to me, but worked well. They had a full bar and a good wine selection. My wife opted for the salmon and I got a steak. She found hers just average but I liked my dish. The side was a sweet potato souffle, which we liked. We saved room for dessert and opted for a chocolate torte. One of the staff who baked it came out to describe the dessert menu to us. Her creation was very good! This was solidly in the 'fine dining' range in both the quality, experience, and price. However, I felt like it was a good value. I'd consider returning here if I were back in Rome and had a special occasion to celebrate.

The burnt ends tray was delicious. Sauce is on point. The food just speaks for itself. They make homemade strawberry jam cheesecake fried pie. If I had time I would have sat around till I was hungry again and tried everything else. It's a nouveau riche style dining inside and out. The staff are super helpful and friendly. They are very accommodating and informative. We had the best time. It is a little pricey but it's worth the money. I had 5 kids with me and they loved it. One of my kids has autism and it was good enough for him.

Situated in an old house the dining is separated into different rooms. The service was attentive and we were made to feel very comfortable. I figured the Alfredo pasta would be excellent since it was the most expensive pasta on the menu. Surely it was worth the price. Cheesy and creamy, it was among the best Alfredo I've had. I had hoped they would serve a nice bread for mopping the sauce, but not so. I ordered a half focaccia which was nicely toasted.

Could this possibly be a low key sleeper/high key banger of a local Italian restaurant in…read moreHuntsville? On first pass... It's a big possibility. Terranova (in Madison) and Bravo both went to the upper room. Amerigo's, Luigi's, Osteria Luca, Mangia, Mazzara's, Nick's, and SaZa, remain. Oh there's also Nonna's and Zanotta's too... But I've not been to either yet. And then there's Terra. It's next to Newks and CiCi's pizza (which might as well be immortal) and for the life of me o can't remember what was in the space. No matter. Why? Because it's a potential strip mall gem. I just ran across one of these in the Orlando area a few months back. So we pulled up for Father's Day with a last minute reservation because, well, father's day isn't mother's day... But I REFUSED to grill. Nevertheless my little ladies made and ran the play and all I had to be was chauffeur. The staff was welcoming from the jump and didn't seem to notice how thin the crowd was. I didn't mind either, tbh... I like to find sleepers. The menu is... Fairly extensive. Apps come with the American Italian classics like bruschetta, fried calamari and fried mushrooms, and mussels but there's also crudo (yellow fin), clam casino, carpaccio, and polpette tre carni. Crab and avocado toast is what we tried in addition to the calamari and both were good. There's a gazpacho with shrimp ceviche the raised an eyebrow --maybe a little Spanish influence in the kitchen? I'll try it next time. There's a few pizzas as well from the classic margherita to prosciutto to a focosa and a scarpariello...so kids and kin For pastas, again, there's a lot. Their classic Carbonara is really good and I'll come back to see what the gnocchi, the bolognese and the linguine alle vongole The seafood risotto adds slivers of asparagus but it rivals some of the best in town. There's maybe 1 spot that tops it. Maybe. The menu features flounder, cod, and salmon along with some clucks and moos as well. I like the French lentils and rice as well. Again, an unexpected but appreciated Desserts include a homemade tiramisu, cheesecake, cannoli (pretty good) and Gelato. Food: 4.25/5.00 - I'm always coming for seafood pasta or risotto on the first run. T Atmosphere: 3.75/5.00 - It's strip mall chic. But clean. Service: 4.00/5.00 new but solid and friendly. X-factor: 4.25/5.00 access and surprise quality go hard here. Overall: 4.1/5.0 by the numbers but... There's a big surprise and solid factor that bumps this enough for me to round to 5 stars . A second visit will confirm. It's either gonna be a bar run or lunch.

The spaghetti was not homemade but had good texture and there was plenty of sauce for everything. My wife had the linguini with bacon which had a great sauce and lots of veggies. The garlic rolls were fresh and warm. Overall a very good meal with good service.
