It's a small little place that you would probably miss unless you really took the time to look at the building. There were six of us, and I loved that their menu was straight forward with about 10 main dishes to choose from. I got the cheese tortellini with steak. We also got the breadsticks as appetizers and I got a side cedar salad. The breadsticks were big and fluffy and it came with red sauce, but we also asked for Alfredo sauce to dip it in. The steak on top of my tortellini was cooked great! Was probably cooked to about medium-medium rare. The Alfredo was top tier. I loved the flavor and it was very creamy. They gave you a lot too which was nice. I liked the size of the Caesar salad, not too big, and the dressing was great. I wasn't a super huge fan of the croutons because they were a rye type of bread. We tried all three desserts and they were all very good. The lava cake was my favorite. The waitress was also the hostess. She was very nice. The only thing I would say was that it was a bit odd that she was wearing leggings and a crop top. Just felt a little unprofessional seeing her belly button piercing. She did a very good job serving us though. The food was very well priced and good portions because I walked away with extras. The place was relatively quiet for a Friday night. Please go check this place out!!

The menu is fairly basic, but the selections did taste great. We liked the garlic bread the best, we were able to eat the whole thing with just the two of us as they are so addicting! We also enjoyed the chicken Alfredo and like the meat sauce. It is downtown parking so street parking can be limited. Service was a little slow, it did take a bit for the garlic bread to arrive. But they were apologetic for this.

Everything was mediocre. Nothing great, nothing terrible. The real issue is that they market…read morethemselves as a made to order pasta place - but everything comes in separate containers, not cooked or heated together, not mixed, not sauced, not a cohesive dish. Also the pictures are misleading, and you get less than they suggest. For example, the sides pictured are a pile of garlic bread or a few breadsticks. We paid $2 extra to pick the option for the cheesy garlic bread side (vs regular garlic bread) and it was a single 2 in by 2 in tiny square of garlic bread with about a TSP of cheese on it. What is the $2 for? The dressing for the Italian salad was basically pure olive oil. And of course, was on the side vs a dressed salad. Definitely should change their slogan from "a taste of Italy" - it's not even good American Italian.

I eat at very upscale restaurants and this one is an absolute NO!! Yuck he said I ate half my entree. No I ate most of the noodles and left the majority of the shrimp and fake lobster. I tried to be polite and not say anything initially but it was so disgusting I would never have brought any of the leftovers home. I eat shrimp and scallops all the time at fine dining restaurants in AZ and this was disgusting. Shrimp is always my favorite but I would give a negative 5 for taste and poor management by the owner Jason!

For this reason, even though DiMaggio's was about a half mile from my hotel I decided to get it delivered. Usually when I order pizza delivered I expect it to be lukewarm or even somewhat cold, but that was not the case. My pie was piping hot. So hot it scorched the roof of my mouth (my fault). But I do fault DiMaggio's for having such delicious pizza that I couldn't stop eating or even slow down. The toppings were all fresh and bountiful. Not just a sprinkle here and there, the toppings were enough to give you a taste of everything in every bite. And I'm not a single, two or three topping kind of guy. I had Italian sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and black olives. I cannot remember when I had a better pizza as of late and I had pizza in New York three weeks ago. The pic I posted only shows what is left after I inhaled the rest. I believe this will be a delicious cold pizza breakfast in the morning. I don't know if you guys are related, but DiMaggio's sure hit a home run with my order!!

The pros: portion sizes are huge, chicken tasted good The cons: waiter did not stop by the table once, my water was empty within the first 10 min of sitting there and i had to take my cup physically up to the counter to get water from them because i was so thirsty. I didnt see him once after that, he just stood up at the counter talking to the other server. The pasta was oily, they put so much cheese on everything that the oils from the cheese come out and my pasta literally had a layer of oil all around the plate. The mozzerella garlic bread barely had any garlic bread taste, tasted mostly like mozzerella. The mozzerella was also so oily that the garlic bread was just soggy 5 min after the waiter put the plate down. The price is steep, by myself i got an app and an entree only and it came out to 48$ before tip. Overall, for a spot with the reviews it has it completely let me down along with the locals who recommended it to me.

Unfortunately, the food was some of the most disappointing Italian we've had, especially for the price. The "truffle fries" were basically lukewarm shoestring fries, the pesto linguine and alfredo both came with spaghetti noodles instead of the pasta advertised, and the burrata bruschetta arrived in a plastic container loaded with onions with rock hard bread on the side. The arancini was extremely mushy, the fresh house bread was hard enough to knock on a table, and overall the presentation felt more like takeout from a former fast casual spot than an Italian restaurant charging over $100 for dinner. Oddly enough, the only thing our family mildly enjoyed were the kids' butter noodles. Really wanted to like this place, but sadly we wouldn't return.

We came NYE so service was a little slower but friendly. Someone was making sure our waters were filled and used plates taken away. Food was definitely freshly made. We ordered the mussels for appetizer. We chose the spicy tomato sauce and it was yummy. My husband ordered the veal Marsala and it came with choice of soup or salad and a side of pasta. Penne with red sauce was the standard or upgrade to fettuccine Alfredo. Creamy clam soup was delicious. Nice and rich. Fettuccine noodles were over cooked but the cream sauce was so good. You can taste the fresh cream. It was slightly under seasoned but nothing a little salt didn't fix. The veal was nice and tender, lots of mushrooms, and a side of steamed green beans. This dish was also slightly under seasoned. I ordered one of the specials, a pasta bolognese. Supposed to come with penne but I requested it with fettuccine. Noodles were cooked better than the Alfredo but still slightly overcooked. The bolognese sauce was so delicious. They give you bread for the table but it was dense and lacked flavor. Glass of wine, appetizer, and two entrees came out be a little under $100 before tip. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. Not a knock your socks off place but nice and cozy with freshly prepared dishes.
