To celebrate my birthday the Mrs. & I went to try this place out. We heard such great things about…read morethis restaurant. The vibe was very chill and friendly. Nice and cozy inside with an open kitchen. The place was very clean and not too loud. They had some nice old school soul music playing in which I liked. Everyone talked about how stellar the service is but we didn't experience that. Our server Alex was a nice gentleman but he wasn't very attentive to us. He seemed to give the other tables a lot more attention than he gave us. 5/10 for service. I still tipped him 25% but he didn't deserve a 10% tip. The food made up for his lackluster service. We ordered The Short Ribs, Bone in Pork Chop, Collard Greens, Mac & Cheese, Cornbread w/Honey Butter & the Banana pudding for dessert. The short ribs came on top of creamed spinach and mashed potatoes with a very savory gravy. This dish was spot on, tender and everything was seasoned to perfection!! It comes with some fried onions on top which added a nice touch to the dish. 10/10!! The Bone in Pork Chop was decent. Very tender but the flavor was basic at best. My wife & I agreed that it was a mediocre dish. 5.3/10. Now the sides were absolutely delicious!! The collard greens were so flavorful. Some of the best collards I've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly! 10/10. The Mac & Cheese was also amazing! Baked and homemade with a nice crust of cheese on top! Easy 10/10. The cornbread was pretty good. It paired well with the greens. Slightly sweet but not too sweet. 7/10. The banana pudding is something that got rave reviews but it was just ok to us. Nothing special as I make a better banana pudding. 5/10. I wouldn't get it again. All in all it was a very good meal. We will definitely return. As we enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. Check them out if you haven't. You won't be disappointed. 8.5/10 overall. Remember ALL reviews are subjective

Everyone's bowl came with all the extra bells and whistles that we all asked for.

The food was tasty, but the cafe is expensive for what it is. There are no prices on the menu so I…read morewas surprised by my total ($100+ for four people at lunch), the gallo pinto rice bowl with falafel, for example, was $26 (and a little underseasoned, in my opinion) and dosas were each $20. On top of that, the service was OK for a cafe, but not what I would expect when paying for a $20+ entree... Our table ordered some similar foods and the waiter didn't know what each dish was when it came out, so we had to guess whose was whose. Each dish also came out individually with lag time in between, so when they forgot one of the meals, it wasn't immediately clear and the cashier/waiter were very defensive about it. For those prices, I would rather go to a sit-down restaurant like Mahari or 14 Parish just a few blocks away. This is the cafe's second rebrand that I'm aware of, so some older reviews are commenting on things that don't exist any more. I miss when it was a breakfast spot!

Though they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating I recommend making a reservation. The space is elevated Italian and the service is hospitable and personal. Our server walked us through specials, daily picks as well as customer favorites which really helped in going through expansive menu (which had so many tasty options). For started we landed on the mussels which were served with fries. The mussels were packed with meat and the tomato based sauce they come in was filled with amazing great flavor. I loved my 'Lychee Martini' which was balanced with lychee flavor the punch from the vodka. The main which was truly the star of the show for me was the ravioli! Their ravioli has rotating flavors depending on the day. On Sunday it is a lobster which is my FAVORITE. The ravioli was hearty with large lumps of crab which was filling and flavorful. I opted for a cream sauce as opposed to a tomato based sauce which the server was more than accommodating with. Overall Ascione Bistro is in my rotation and I cannot wait to get back!

I'm not the biggest fan of the burger. It was fine, but the pickles are packed under all the fries. It's missing condiments. They pack some ketchup and mustard, but I need mayo too. It was only when I ate 80% of my burger when I realized. The Cuban sandwich was good and the fries are way more substantial. The pastries are good value. The apple cinnamon and the roll that they have is delicious. Everything had a good amount of butter mixed in so it was flakey. But whatever the roll is, that one is especially good. I haven't eaten at the restaurant, so not sure what the interior is like.

The menu is quite overpriced for what you actually get - the portion sizes are relatively tiny, and left me hungry after finishing. The bangers and mash, while having a good flavor, could have really used something crunchy, like warm crusty bread, crackers, or breadsticks, to contrast with the wateriness of the sauce. The service was really nice and attentive however. Between the light portions, steep check, and lack of dish balance though, the experience just didn't deliver.

I paid extra for steak and got just a few small pieces scattered throughout the bowl while it was mostly rice and chicken.

I understand mistakes happen, but for a $36 meal I expected much better quality control.
