We ventured out on a very frigid Saturday night for dinner. We dined at Taurasi, which we haven't…read moretried before. Sergio was warm and welcoming as he showed us to our table. We sat in the far back room, which felt like an overflow room. I wished we sat in the first dining room. (Note to self for next time ) We brought a couple bottles of wine from home. Corkage fee was $25 a bottle. I learned that this restaurant has a dual license so not only can you enjoy their large selection of wine while dining, but they sell their wine for 50% off of the wine list price to take home. Carol, our server, was personable and took good care of us. Our party of five shared two starters, the antipasto and the carpaccio. I was surprised that the carpaccio, although fresh and tasty, did not come with any grilled bread. I always order carpaccio at restaurants and it usually comes with crostini or grilled bread to put the thinly sliced beef on. I think that would be a nice addition to this starter. Taurasi makes homemade pasta so the five of us all had pasta dishes. My husband had Rigatoni Ragu Napoletano with an addition of a side of two meatballs. I had Ricotta Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. Both very good housemade pasta dishes. The side of meatballs were served with no sauce. I thought that was quite unusual. My husband and I split the meatballs so I asked our server to bring some sauce for the meatballs. The meatballs were full of flavor, soft and moist. It reminded me of my dad's meatballs. My friend who doesn't eat meat took a bite and asked for a second one. That says a lot about the taste of the meatballs. Sergio checked on us periodically to make sure we were enjoying our experience and then introduced us to the owner/chef Raffaele at the end of our meal. Raffaele is the one who curates the wine selection. He is a sommelier as well as the chef.. While talking to Raffaele, I asked about the pasta my husband and I learned to make on our trip to Tuscany last fall called pici, and he said he would make it for me even though it's not on the menu. Well, you know I'll be coming back to his restaurant again. Taurasi also hosts special wine events/ tastings and also has live music on occasion in the bar area. Outside of the minor glitches I had with where we were seated, the lack of grilled bread with the carpaccio and the sauceless meatballs, I would recommend this restaurant. The pasta is delicious and the service is good.

The only negative is that the parking in the area was a little confusing.

It's a great spot to go for a casual/nice meal with the whole family or on a date! At our most recent trip, we had great quick service with a very friendly waitress.

Our waitress was super sweet and checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better. The restaurant also has plenty of comfortable booths and tables, and the atmosphere has a nice, relaxed, romantic vibe. It's a great spot for date night or going out with friends and family.

I also like that they are pretty flexible about mixing and matching sauces and pastas and proteins. We ordered the shrimp diavolo and my God - these were some of the biggest prawns I've had. I've had tiger prawns in the past, and you need a really big shrimp for something that ends up to be cooked at the size of what we were served today. I have my finger in the photo for size reference. It's not cheap, but we walked away with a bunch of leftovers and so I can't wait to come back when we're craving Italian. The gnocchi is worth a try - called Summer Wind (nutty name but the dish was ‍)

I used to work in the area so at that time I was here once a week or so. It was always so busy. Then I moved out of the area and can only get here maybe 3 times a year. When I come here now it's a toss-up if it'll be busy or not, which is unfortunate because they have great food. I docked a star this time because my daughter and I both ordered angel hair and got linguine, a pasta I don't really love. A different person besides our waiter brought it to us and when we asked, "Is this angel hair?" he hesitated a second and said, "Yes." smh. Idk if he was lying or didn't know, but either way is bad for a waiter at an Italian restaurant. Our waiter DID offer to make it right, but I didn't feel like waiting for them to remake the food, plus I'm always scared of what restaurants might do to your food if you complain. So instead, I'm taking off a star. Great place if you like good Italian. If you've never tried it, give it a shot. (Oh, and the tiramisu is tops).

The burrata had a great texture and the pesto popped. You'll get 8 slices. - Pappardelle with Short Rib Ragu ($22) The star of the meal. The short ribs had a perfectly delicious sauce. I nearly licked the plate clean. - Skirt Steak Vesuvio ($35) The potatoes included in this dish are remarkable - crispy on the outside but melt-in-your-mouth within. The asparagus was nice and smoky. Unfortunately, the skirt steak is quite thin, so there's no way for them to cook it properly medium rare. I might skip this if I came back. Our server Eileen was really awesome - some of the best service I've received. Be aware that the place can get really loud, so it's not particularly intimate. Probably better for a gathering of friends than a romantic date. I'd happily go back to Il Mio.
