NYhoney930 must have been at the wrong Italianissimo because customer service is outstanding. Anyway, her review was Feb. 2006 and since that time, the owner sold the restaurant to Andy and Franco, two of his staff. People are raving that the restaurant is better now than ever. My wife and I had our wedding there and it could not have been better. Over a year later, people are still commenting on how good the food was. We are regular customers and appreciate the personal attention we get every time. I always see the waiters checking on their tables often and fine tuning anything that the customer may need. The bar is fully stocked, as sulliman pointed out, Louis XIII is available, as are grappa, lemoncello, Amare Lucano, Patron, Cristal, Veuve Cliquot, and other high end liquors. The wine list is extensive, with selections from around the world, with bottles for all price ranges. The appetizers are excellent and may fill you up before you even get to the entrees. As for main courses, the fish is always fresh, the filet mignon with balsamic vinegar glaze always comes up excellent, pork chops are delicious, and this is one of the few places that knows how to cook lamb well. There are also daily specials which keep frequent customers like myself interested. The pastas are great for lunch! Not too much or too little. Desserts such as cannolis, tiramisu, berry tarts, cheesecake, and others satisfy the sweet tooth. There is a parking lot, and as another reviewer pointed out, it is small, but there is a complimentary valet. If you don't feel like using the valet, there is street parking on the side streets. My recommendation is to try this restaurant once and you will be hooked. Anything you need, the staff will be happy to accomodate you. I am very critical of restaurants and their cleanliness. There is no question that Italianissimo takes pride in customer service. Just look for Andy and Franco running around the restaurant greeting all of their patrons. Ciao, guys!
Pros: Wines, food, customer service, cleanliness
Cons: I can't go there every day!
