Shockingly expensive for the quality of food. We had no issue with the small plates, however the antipasto was stingy with the bulk of it being white beans and only 2 pieces of salami and triangle slice of packaged cheese. The pasta course was ok (I had risotto and my companion had angel hair) and the small portions were perfect. The main course was two rounds of dry breaded eggplant with 3 roasted grape tomatoes and a single fresh mozzarella ball cut up into quarters with polenta. No sauces of any kind. Companion's meal was the same but with a chicken cutlet. It looked like a Hello Fresh box meal. We didn't expect a lot of food, but we expected a higher quality of cuisine for $37 a person. We didn't even bother to finish it. We came in at 6:30 and at 7:30 we still hadn't gotten all our courses (although some people who came in after us did). We had to leave to catch our play, so we declined the salad. When we stood up to leave, I noticed the seat of my pants were soaking wet from the patio cushion I had been sitting on. We had to RUN back to the hotel to change and barely made it to the theater before the doors closed. We tried to tell the staff about the wet seat but everyone had disappeared. The upside is that I am currently dieting. I am mystified by the 5 star reviews for this over priced mediocre food. I will add that we do not drink alcohol, so perhaps our perspective is unique.

I can’t recommend this beautiful place enough! The summer nights under the wisteria and warm lights make for such a romantic ambiance. The brown butter sage ravioli is my favorite dish. It’s exceptional every single time! 5/5

Of the Italian restaurants in Ashland, this is the best. Much better than Osteria La Bricola on the plaza. The food here is quite good. Try to avoid the prefix menu that involves sharing as the portions are too small. The outdoor patio is actually a parking lot, but is lovely at night. The service is often slow but the food is generally delicious if a little Americanized.

My husband and I always eat at Cucina Biazzi when we pass through Ashland! This was our 8th time and the restaurant remains amazing! Our server was very attentive, every dish superb, and the wine was the icing on the top! Our favorite dish of all has always been the Lobster Ravioli, if you eat only one thing that should be it, it’s too die for!

The resturant has a cool atmosphere and very very nice service, but the food doesn’t represent at all the marvelous italian gastronomy, im very disappointed about the prices they charge for the food, because i dont feel the quality of the products they bringing to the table, i think this restaurant is a bit overrated.

Wonderful trout special, very unusual mushrooms in the antipasto, "vanilla" ice cream extraordinary. Excellent service. Long established tradition for great food. Everything is good to great.

None of the food was not hot. I ordered the chicken entree, a small thin (about 4 oz) pounded and breaded piece of luke warm chicken for $37. The waitress took a very long time to return between courses. Each course had obviously sat for a long time before being brought to our table. Our waitress finally sent another waiter with our bill after waiting a long time and never came back to ask how our food was. We wouldn't mind the high price if the food was good, but it fell well short of expectations in all respects. It was our anniversary and we were very disappointed about the food and bad service.Dave GreenhalghMedford

Saw this place across the parking lot while staying at Stratford Inn. We called and somehow got the last available table for the night. It is a tiny restaurant but had a very warm and inviting atmosphere. Our server was Monica and she was so friendly. Our kids eat very small portions, one of them has a nut allergy, and my dad who dined with us eats gluten free. We're pretty much the worst type of customer you could have but the staff was great. My dad doesn't really care for Italian fare but be really enjoyed the meal and our kids loved the steak with their spaghetti. Lots of great wine options as well. Buon appetito!
