The cocktails were spot on, and the steaks came out cooked perfectly. Most of the sides were great, though I'd probably skip the macaroni next time, it just lacked flavor. The complimentary bread with herbed olive oil was a perfect start to the meal. The pricing felt a bit high for what you get, but the ambiance more than makes up for it. Our server was super friendly and did an excellent job pacing the meal so everything flowed smoothly. The only hiccup was a water glass showing up with bright red lipstick on it, but it was taken care of immediately, no harm, no foul. Overall, this is a lovely spot for a fancy night out with good service. And don't forget to swing by the shop next door to pick up some top-notch olive oil.

I got the New York Strip and my husband got the duck, both were amazing. For starters we had the artichoke dip which was uncannily good, and the dessert (which we got for free for our anniversary) was simply delicious. The service was great too, very attentive server making sure our glasses were full and that our overall experience was great. The ambiance is very nice too, you'll get this cozy experience from the minute you step in. Totally visit this place, 100% recommended.

This place is the best!! Who doesn't love olive oil?…read more My mom and I decided to stop in because why not, and now I'm wondering why I haven't been in before. We were immediately greeted by Charles who was wonderful, told us how everything works, and showed us the layout. There's a ton of wonderful olive oils of different intensities, some infused with flavors like basil, lemon, garlic... some that are spicy.. and then all kinds of balsamic vinegars as well. There's also pasta made from scratch, olives and tapenade, gourmet jellies, etc. Cookbooks, beautiful cutting boards, salt blocks. And there's also a whole line of bath & body goodies made from their olive oils. Soaps, lotions, lip balm, body butter, and more. Everything looks and smells so good! I was thrilled to see several gluten free pasta options, and the best part is they cost the same as the traditional. That never happens!! I bought two bags (only $8.50 each) and I cannot wait to cook and eat them. I picked out a few gifts for my aunt (shop local, people), including a small bottle of basil infused olive oil for only $14 and a beautiful lemon linguine. Staff will get samples for you if you want to taste anything, and they'll also fill up your bottle of oil or vinegar for you. Everyone was wearing masks and using hand sanitizer. I already have ideas for more gifts I want to get, so I'll definitely be back soon. And if anyone wants to be buy ME a present, I'd loce pretty much anything from this shop!

A very unique and special place to get fantastic olive oil and balsamic vinegar. They quite…read moreliterally have products from all over the world, and allow you to taste them before purchase. You truly cannot find this level of quality in any other type of store. They bottle what you select on site. Many of the olive oils are flavored with various spices from cardamom to cayenne. Likewise for the Balsamics. I am a purist, and addicted to the traditional balsamic vinegar, aged 18 years. My wife loves the Santorini oregano white balsamic vinegar. There are very few places where you can find a robust olive oil, but they have them here, and they are worth a taste.

We really wanted to love this place...but left sorely disappointed and still hungry…read more.. Should've been a clue when we walked in and the booth was filthy and I took my napkin off my appetizer plate and it was covered in a layer of grease. We decided to stay and give it a chance but the Chicken Pasta Primavera I ordered was quite literally chicken noodle soup. There was a puddle of bone broth at the bottom and the noodles were chopped into such short pieces I needed a spoon to eat it. If I was looking for chicken noodle soup I would've probably been okay but chicken primavera is my go-to usually and I've never had one like this:( Service was okay, but the experience as a whole was a major let down.

I ordered the salmon which, when it arrived it was not cooked all the way, and the side of broccoli was hard, look like it hadn't been cooked at all. I also ordered a side of Spinach. It was supposed to be. Sautéed however it was more like that of a spinach salad. I ordered a chicken dish to replace the salmon and it was tough and overcooked. This restaurant is nowhere near as good as Randy's other two locations in town. Disappointing! Our server was polite however the manager never came to our table considering the issues we were having. Won't be back.

They're two of the most important and versatile staples for any home kitchen, and you don't even have to cook to use them... just dip foods straight into them or drizzle these beauties on top! I was a bit early for a meeting nearby, so I decided to stop in here and see what was going on since I love anything that has to do with food. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, asked if I'd been there before, and then was given a super quick and helpful tour and how-to handle sampling. I could stay in here for hours mixing oils and balsamic vinegars! There are little pieces of fresh made (in house) French bread with toothpick, and then tiny plastic cups for mixing your oil and vinegars. Since I couldn't eat the bread, I simply tiny cups and took baby sips. Oh man... everything I tasted was absolutely amazing. These are high quality products. Rows and rows of different flavor infused extra virgin olive oils and balsamic vinegars, from sweet to spicy to citrusy to earthy. Some of my personal recommendations are the Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar (so tart and bright), the Blood Orange Olive Oil (fruity in the most subtle and smooth way), the Tuscan Herb Olive Oil (you'll taste garlic, sun dried tomatoes, basil, and more), the Wild Mushroom and Sage Olive Oil (seriously earthy and deep), the Cilantro and Onion Olive Oil (very strong and fresh), and the Black Mission Fig Balsamic Vinegar (the taste is so clear, you'll swear you're eating actual figs). Whatever ingredients are infused into the product, you'll taste its authenticity. The Honey Ginger Vinegar was outstanding, as well as the Honey Serrano and Vanilla Balsamic Vinegars. Perhaps a bit too sweet for my liking, but incredible nonetheless. I had so much fun tasting product after product and being left to leisurely browse. When you find something you know you HAVE to have, ask an employee and they'll fill up your bottle right then and there. It's only $11 for a 200ml bottle, which is a good size (and makes the cutest gift, if you ask me). $16 for 375ml and $28 for 750ml. The prices seem more than fair to me. I also love that you can read about each oil and vinegar to see where the ingredients (fruits, olives, etc) were harvested (Spain, Italy, Portugal?) and see what it pairs well with. They also have plenty of recipe ideas and amazing kitchen/cooking trinkets and accessories for sale. On top of all this, there is a small kitchen inside Bella Vita, so they make freshly baked bread and a few other treats, like cookies! You'll also find a few gourmet cheeses. I really loved this shop and I'm excited to return. It's the only one there is, so come here or check out their website where you can order their wonderful products online.

I couldn't find any ricotta. I ate half. I went to the store on my way home. I got Stouffer's and Rao's lasagne. 3.49$ each on sale. Over a week I tried them. Each of them was better than Farina's. The Rao's had a lot of meat and ricotta. I'll go back to Farina's. But I'll just have the salad.
