83 1/2 is a cozy neighborhood restaurant known for its delicious Italian cuisine at reasonable prices. The food is fresh and well-presented, with standout dishes such as hearty short-ribs with trofie pasta, exceptional brussels sprouts, and delightful appetizers like watermelon salad drizzled with balsamic, fresh basil, and feta. The eggplant parmigiana balls with melted burrata cheese are a perfect match for the toasted bread. Shrimp Scampi over linguine is another highlight, featuring fresh pasta and a rich butter wine sauce. Service is generally considerate, attentive, and friendly, although it can be slow when the restaurant is busy, as noted when only one waiter was present. It may get moderately noisy, and some diners have experienced less-than-friendly service during peak times. Despite these issues, the overall dining experience remains positive, making it a popular spot for consistent and enjoyable meals.
