Italian Restaurants in Girdwood, AK

“I see there was a disproportionate amount of 1 and 2 star reviews so I'm hoping to clear the air for this restaurant as much as I can as I see a lot of good things here.
I have quite a bit of experience travelling and reviewing restaurants and my first experience here is not just good, it's impressive.

I believe most of the low star reviews were experiencing slower service than they are used to and some complaints about prices. Personally our table's experience was all excellent, above expectations.
We have no issue with the pricing and the service is excellent. The food of course is a homerun for all our dishes.

I believe the main difference in our experience is that it is absolutely not busy today. As for the prices, all I can say is that when one comes to a higher end restaurant at a higher end resort hotel, one must recalibrate their expectations appropriately and not be unreasonable.

This place knows how to cook all meats as in it's still juicy and not dried out. They do flavors very well, this is not a typical experience and I can tell they put care into their cooking.

We did notice that much of the staff are from other countries, we believe they are seasonal and/or on some sort of visa, which of course is awesome, though it may introduce the fluctuations in service that the reviews speak about. All I can say is call before hand to check if it's too busy.

This restaurant is good to go and I feel like I can place it into a high tier, of course when it's probably not busy.“
