If you were having a special occasion, we would go to three or more different places to order the catering. I consider myself, not an expert but a decent judge of authentic Italian food. This is the spot I choose for meat lasagna and for their meatballs. I haven't tried anything else yet. We ordered their meat lasagna for a birthday party. We picked it up on Saturday afternoon at 3PM exactly when they said it would be ready. They wrote the directions on top of the cover and we followed them exactly as written. The lasagna was so good that our guests were all pleased. Many asked where we got it. I was proud to tell them I'd made the right choice by going the extra mile to Italia deli. We had 20 guests, everyone had a piece and some of our friends took a couple pieces home. We still had leftovers to put in the freezer. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I'm looking forward to going there for a whole meal so I can bring back the comfort of real Italian home cooking.

They do a fantastic job with seasonal specials, but their staples are the real stars. The pizzas are packed with flavor - the Margherita and Quattro Stagioni are so good I can never decide between them! You can truly taste the quality in their handmade pasta. My absolute go-to is the Taglierini with Pesto and fresh Burrata - it is a total "chef's kiss" every single time. The service is consistently warm and welcoming, making you feel like part of the family. They don't take reservations, and the secret is definitely out. We've waited over an hour for a table before, so arrive early and plan accordingly!

Maddeningly so. We both also felt the food- for the first time in maybe 30 or more times eating here- was not good. Not horrid. Not inedible. Just not...good. Not at ALL what we have told many friends, family, and business associates for years. So we will give it a few months or more before we try again. I am not recommending this place anymore, and I'm sure they will be just fine. They are very popular now, and maybe that's why it was better before. It happens.

We ordered a thick deep dish 3 little pigs, a Caesar salad and a thin crust cheese with half pepperoni. My kid is super picky with his pizza but he loved this sourdough crust. It's a little pricey with all this running $90 with tip, but it's worth a try if you're in the area. Everything tastes fresh, especially the Caesar. We had leftovers of the thick pizza, and after reheating in the oven it was even better with a crispier crust. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

We ordered 3 Little Pigs and Sweet & Spicy on thin crust. Both are great. I suspect all the different pizzas offered here are great because of the dough, sauce and quality toppings. The shop is small so be prepared to wait for a bit for a table. The restaurant is outside of the restaurant around the corner. Ask for the code from the staff.

Five stars, without question…read more Blue Table Wine and Cheese is one of those rare places that keeps getting better over time. We've been coming here for years, and somehow every visit we discover something new on the menu. That alone says a lot. The food is consistently excellent, and the wine and cheese selection is thoughtful, well-curated, and always on point. It's a small place, but it delivers big on quality. The service is what really seals it. The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely happy to guide you through the menu and wine selections without ever making it feel rushed or pretentious. You feel taken care of every single time. This spot deserves far more recognition than it gets. If you appreciate great food, great wine, and great service, this is a true hidden gem. We keep coming back for a reason.

The sandwich portions are hefty and they are well loaded. We felt like we got our money's worth in freshness and quantity. The veggie sandwich was a bit bland and needed a better balance of ingredients. But the chicken parmigiana sandwiches were packed with flavor, as was the Italian cold cut sandwich. My recommendation for this place would be to improve on the quality of the bread they use as it lacks flavor or richness. Put those ingredients on real sourdough bread or focaccia and it would be a very memorable sandwich. To the owner: we visited your lovely home town, as mentioned in your business profile, while we were in Rome a few years ago and had the most unforgettable pizzette rosse while there.

The salad was fresh and flavorful, the lasagna was outstanding -- comforting, rich, and clearly made with care -- and the wine was excellent. What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The manager/owner made us feel genuinely welcome, checked in at the right moments, and made sure everything was perfect without being overbearing. That personal touch makes a huge difference. This is the kind of neighborhood Italian spot people don't talk about enough. If you're looking for great food, great wine, and real hospitality, don't sleep on this place. We'll definitely be back.

I came here last night to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing. The restaurant is small, with around 10 tables, and only about half were occupied, so it was not busy. We were seated at a nice table, but that was the highlight of the evening. The server took our order and that was essentially the last interaction we had with them. The food took about 45 minutes to come out for a simple pizza and pasta. When it did arrive, it was very mediocre. Nothing memorable, and honestly worse than many chain restaurants. Service was the main issue. Every time we needed water, utensils, or anything at all, we had to physically get up and ask the busser for help. I repeatedly tried to get the server's attention, but he avoided eye contact and never checked on our table. We also wanted more bread, but there was no one available to ask. Because it was my birthday, I expected at least a basic acknowledgment. We were never offered a dessert menu or asked about preferences. Instead, a tiramisu was brought to the table with a candle without asking. I am highly allergic to chocolate and caffeine, so I couldn't eat it at all. To make matters worse, no forks or spoons were provided with the dessert. After waiting several minutes, I had to get up again to ask for utensils. I would not return to this restaurant. The service was unacceptable, the food was mediocre, and the overall experience completely missed the mark for a birthday dinner.
