If you like salt this is the place. Dishes were tasty and fresh but salt overpowered everything. Atmosphere and service was very good.

I tried to go and eat at The Flying Noodle at 5:30PM and was told they had nothing available until much later since I didn’t have a reservation, I was dinning alone and wasn’t even offered a seat at the bar even though there was empty seats. I then inquired about take-out and was told they wouldn’t be able to get my order until after 8PM.

The food is out of this world, but the seating layout is terrible. The tables are so close to each other, there is no privacy. Even if you don’t want to hear what your neighbors are saying, you’ll hear it, makes your own conversation mute as they probably hear what you have to say too
Best italian sandwich ever. Great bread and ingredients. And there's Limencello!

Fantastic dining destination, what a wonderful experience. The food was fantastic, the environment was social & fun, and our serving professional Miyoshi was simply amazing! We will be back, and they deserve 6 stars!

The food lacked flavor and texture, both my dish and my friend's, as well as the appetizers. It felt like eating Chef Boyardee canned pasta, but with a hefty price tag of $25+ per meal. The waitress displayed a complete lack of professionalism and was unapologetic. She failed to offer any post-dinner drinks or desserts, and when I inquired about a refund for my unsatisfactory dish, she responded with unnecessary hostility, making it clear she wanted us gone. Overall, the restaurant's quality is subpar. This disappointing experience occurred on a Saturday night.

Our best meal on the trip, hands down. I had the bolognese with gnocchi instead of rigatoni. My husband had the Italian sandwich. The Italian chop salad was THE. BEST. SALAD. Such a lovely meal on a snowy weekend. Service was wonderful. We had a reservation per the reviews, and so glad we did. People were lined up and waiting. They truly cater to dietary restrictions and wishes (my craving for gnocchi but dislike for mushrooms was a problem easily solved)

Great atmosphere, staff, and food! I recently went with a friend to try out their happy hour deals and it was such a lovely experience. As a local, it is so nice to have a great happy hour spot! For dinner, we both got the Bolognese dish and I got mine with gluten free pasta - the flavor and meal was outstanding! Thank you for having gluten free options on your menu!!

Delicious birthday lunch! Golden beets with pistachios are a new favorite for a tricky palate. The toasted s’mores tart for dessert is a must! Our server April was super friendly and helped us make the best choices. Can’t wait to go back to try their other amazing creations.

I enjoyed the carbonara here. The noodles were prepared well, the sauce was delicious, and had a different but delicious flavor. My only note is there was too much lemon zest as it was all I could taste on the top layer. If you have the time, stop in for a wonderful meal.

Best Italian food in the area. If you make an online reservation, be sure to call and follow up on specific requests as I was told that they don't always read the notes. The dining area is small but comfortable. We requested to sit outside because we have a child that is sensitive to noise. That request was not read so we were seated inside. The hostess did turn the music down for us which was very kind. We enjoyed dinner and dine here frequently.

The entire staff has a friendly demeanor and seems to be very focused on the art of “service”.
Plus the food is excellent.
