Some of the best gluten free pasta I’ve ever had! And the service has always been amazing

Entrees came just after receiving our appetizers despite specifically asking for time between courses. Service was inattentive. Food was delicious but the experience was rushed. Put a damper on an anniversary celebration.

Good tasting but average food. Nothing exceptional about the preparation. There was brown paper on the tables on top of linen table cloths. Not very fancy. Would expect more for the price.

Best experience ever. The staff is so amazing and sweet, and very knowledgeable. Everything I had was so delicious and I felt like a princess, I would highly recommend!!

Wonderful meal. Great selections and service.

Zach Finnan

Food and drinks are great. Service was nice, however, took a ridiculous amount of time to get every course of our meal and they initially brought us the wrong drinks. Took us around 3 hours to eat

Excellent Staff. Sous Chef Robby took me on a culinary journey that can best be described as life changing.

I had a wonderful experience dining at the Expat. We ordered the bread service and charcuterie board which came with an assortment of cheeses and meats. The board was absolutely delicious, and the bread was nice and crispy. We also got different pastas, including the Tagliatelle, Black Ink, and the bacon one. They were all very good👍. Service was good and a decent wait time for the food.

Wanted to love it. Cioppino was an under salted mangled mess. All clams and some mussels weren’t opened. The one I tried fighting open was inedible. Server was so busy with a large party that we were an afterthought. Everyone was super nice and the drinks were solid, just felt robbed with the soup. Try something else.

We came here on a special occasion and I was just unimpressed with the food for the price. My main beef with the place is they sell farm to table food and serve you luke warm unfiltered disgusting tap water served in a recycled glass bottle. For the price they get for this food you should at least get water that doesn't taste like chemicals. I got the porkchop with green beans which was probably the best thing we got. The mushroom pasta was way to salty and not worth the money paid for it. We got the most expensive charcuterie board and it was OK but not $35 worth ok.

Finally got around to having dinner here. Everything was so good we didn't even get entrees! Focaccia, salads, arancini, eggplant and a dessert left us more than satisfied. Our server was attentive without hovering. The parking out back made our trip to Five Points easier than going downtown. Will be back soon for entrees!
