We had such an amazing experience! Everything we had was so flavorful, excellent service and impeccable vibes. Our highlights were the meatballs, burrata, limoncello, salmon. Don’t sleep on the sfoglia which you just have to trust, the texture was so surprising and fun. The crostata al limone was also so great for dessert. A nice wine list and many NA drink options also! Thank you!

It was a fabulous experience overall. The restaurant wasn't busy but they put all customers in the dining room in one area —pretty much on top of each other. Just a bit annoying when the whole entire room was open.

Rigatoni was cold , Luke warm at best The squash was disappointing (It was zucchini with the skin on ) I was expecting a butternut type We have been there 5-6 times before

The food was so good. But, we were so disappointed in the service. We were seated and a waiter came and left water and introduced himself and then he never returned. He was still working the room. This is the point that I normally get up and leave but we were celebrating a special occasion and didn't want to disappoint my companion. Someone finally took note and took over. They were pleasant but never kept up with normal table service. I had a long wait to get a second drink and never got more water. They didn't seem understaffed. If someone would have apologized or offered an explanation, I might have understood. But, there was never any acknowledgement of any issue. I'd probably choose another restaurant next time.

Second time back under new ownership. Still an excellent dining experience, service was excellent

Love IE- our wait person Aaron is amazing- pays attention to all the details- good with menu suggestions. Beef carpaccio was an amazing starter, our entrees did not disappoint- Sakura pork chop, Due Sfoglia and Rigatoni were amazing! Highly recommend!

The new management of the Italian Eatery can be seen in many details. The service was impeccable- Max was professional, light hearted, and provided excellent care of us! The space is beautiful and well lit. The food was absolutely delicious- perfectly cooked pasta! We will definitely be returning!
Brian
This is the old i.e. on steroids, with refined service, buzzy atmosphere, and a huge focus on Italian dishes, mostly featuring pastas that are perfectly prepared. Fantastic. Aaron was a phenomenal server!

Our experience was interesting. We dined in for our anniversary because we previously really enjoyed Italian Eatery. We made a reservation for 4:30 and they gave us a nice note which was sweet. We were then sat in between 2 tables of people with the entire restaurant being empty. And I understand waiters need their sections but it felt unnecessary to be crammed in between two larger parties and then have to listen to their loud conversations as well. Our waiter did not note our anniversary, which is fine. But when you're paying $100 to dine somewhere you'd expect that. Our waiter wasn't very attentive, and upon receiving our food I had asked if the menu had changed because when I came 2 months ago I had the same exact thing and it was different. The waiter told me no, even though I knew the meat that was on top was different. My partner experienced the same thing. I understand a rotating menu but we both loved the dishes that we had previously and were expecting something similar. Overall just an odd experience and I wish I would've asked to move but the table next to us did the same thing and they were moved one table over into an even more crammed destination. So I can only imagine that we wouldn't have been moved far. I liked ie, but probably won't be back anytime soon.

Slow service, food was not temped. Close quarters and a bit cramped. I liked my server, but there was a lot going on that contributed to a depressing mood after my meal.
Mediocre. Menu wasn’t terribly Italian, and the pasta dishes we tried were uninspired and flat. Major miss on the super-sweet roasted squash side - tasted more like a dessert than a veg side. On the plus side, atmosphere was nice and service was great.

We did the four course for $50. The portions were good and the food was excellent! We had a great experience.

Our waiter, Max; was exceptional. Max was very helpful, polite, and so friendly. The food was also spectacular & I already can't wait to go back with my girlfriend.

We decided to stop by IE on a busy Saturday night without a reservation to celebrate my birthday. As a huge fan of authentic Italian cuisine, this place quickly became one of my favorites in the metro! From the kind hospitality, quick service, perfectly sized dishes, to unique choices across the entire menu from start to finish - it was all exceptional. A place to go that feels like family. Thank you for making our spontaneous, last minute dinner a celebration to remember.

Had my two year anniversary here with my girlfriend and we both really enjoyed the experience. The lighting is dim and it wasn't super noisy which is something me and her appreciated a lot!
