Excellent special occasional experience…read more I remember enjoying Intero when I first visited a few years back. For what reason, we haven't visited in sometime but decided to give it a try again since they are now a member of InKind. This place ended up being even better than I recall from our last visit! The service here was excellent, from the greetings at the door to the drink service, to the waitstaff, everyone was super attentive in our recent visit. We started the evening with some drinks, and I have to say that the "City Folk" beverage I ordered was a very delicious flip type drink. The focaccia with whipped butter is a hard appetizer to go wrong with, and the Wagyu beef carpaccio is also a great choice (in fact, these make a delicious combination). The melon apps are also quite good. For mains, we tried the moda famiglia (which was a very heathy serving size), the roasted oyster mushroom pizza (very good), Wagyu beef sausage (savory and mild meat), and rigatoni (honestly the mild horseradish cream really elevated this dish). Altogether there wasn't anything we didn't like. For dessert, we just got the house made chocolates, which were both fun to taste test and also quite delicious. The interior continues to give a dark, intimate sort of vibe (which makes it perfect for a date spot).

The steak is definitely a large portion, and the beef tallow hollandaise is INSANE. Highly recommend both. The ricotta and focaccia was a little more basic compared to everything else, but still really tasty. The cocktails were also stunners. I got the Secret Tunnel, and if you like savory cocktails, it's delicious and another really unique item. Dessert was also incredible. The brown butter cake was amazing--the brown butter flavor is very prominent, and the toasted marshmallow was a great pairing. The chocolate truffles were also delicious. Make your reservations!

That's the reason my rating wasn't 5 Star. Because the restaurant was pretty empty on this Saturday afternoon, I feel the Chef shouldn't have sent out fries that weren't piping hot.

Artipasta is a must-visit for anyone who loves handmade pasta. Their gnocchi is absolutely divine--pillowy soft, perfectly cooked, and coated in rich, flavorful sauces that make every bite unforgettable. The attention to detail in their pasta-making is evident, and it truly elevates the entire dining experience. I really loved the spinach ravioli, as well. The balsamic vinegar sprinkled on top really elevated the dish to another level of flavorful richness. Dessert is just as impressive. The cannolis are some of the best I've ever had. The crispy shells filled with a luscious, not-too-sweet ricotta filling that hits all the right notes. They also offer other delightful sweets, including heavenly limoncello mascarpone cake, making it impossible to leave without indulging in something extra. The restaurant itself is cozy, which adds to its charm, but be prepared for a bit of a wait on weekends due to the limited space. That said, the food is more than worth it. Plus, the staff is fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. The owner is incredibly welcoming and takes the time to check in with guests, making you feel like part of the family. If you're a pasta lover, Artipasta is a place you don't want to miss out on trying. read more

I recently dined at Artipasta and tried their tagliatelle with shrimp and lemon sauce. The pasta was cooked well--perfectly al dente--and the sauce had a pleasant brightness from the lemon. However, it lacked a bit of seasoning. Adding a pinch of salt made all the difference, elevating the flavors and tying the dish together. A solid offering, but a little extra attention to seasoning would take it up a notch. 3 stars without salt. read more

You order at the counter, the staff was friendly and explanatory. They don't have a huge wine menu and it's pretty pricey, 13+ dollars a glass or more. They had a frosé for $8 but it's not on menu or advertised so we didn't notice the machine until after. There were three of us and we ordered under the same number- but for some reason one persons food came out before the appetizer so- timing was weird on that. We got the arancini for appetizer and it was good but absolutely not worth $12 for 3 small to medium sized arancini. Would not order again based on price. I had the chicken parm grinder with the house salad and my boyfriend the chicken Alfredo. Our friend had the Italian sub. Charging $5 to have fries or a salad added is highway robbery when you are already charging $15 for a sub. A chicken parm grinder in my hometown is $9.99. And this was not that great. The sauce was acidic, and the bread was way too thick. It wasn't toasted so most of my sandwich bites were just bread. The chicken coating also should have been crispier. It was sooo mid. The Italian house salad was actually pretty good- but really overdressed. My boyfriend's chicken Alfredo was pretty dry and nothing to write home about for $23. And they don't give you any bread!! How does an Italian restaurant not give out bread?! They charge you $2.50 for bread regardless if it's for the focaccia or the plain house bread- which I found out when I tried to order focaccia and they were out. No I don't want to pay the same for plain bread as focaccia, esp when I shouldn't be paying for bread in the first place. So we ended up paying $76 before tip for a grinder and side salad, a plate of Alfredo, 3 arancini and a soda and glass of wine, all mid. I feel like they know about the lack of affordable Italian food here and thought they could come in and be more affordable than like, Sammie's but are still overcharging because they can. Come back to pay those prices? Fuhgeddaboutit.
