Great food and great atmosphere — possibly the best spot in Graduate Hospital. The gnocchi are a must try and the pinza is delicious!!!

Excellent Italian food, special shoutout to the pinsa! The pasta tastes fresh and sauces were quite good. The restaurant itself is very pretty and made for a wonderful Valentine’s Day date. Only complaint is that it was pretty loud in the restaurant with some especially raucous guests next to our table but it was a Saturday night after all.Vegetarian options: Small menu overall but there are pastas and pinsas that come vegetarian. That being said, the restaurant feels more at home to a pescatarian with some fish options I didn’t get (but wish I had).

This was my second time at L' anima and I will continue to dine here. The service was exceptional, I believe our server was Zach, and he couldn't be more helpful. We ordered some specials and of course had wonderful homemade pastas too. Our dessert was simply amazing! Cant wait for warmer weather to be able to sit outside!

One of the hidden gems in this city. Had the chef's linguini special and it was out of this world. Everything tasted as fresh as could be. Prices were so affordable compared to some places.

Not your average neighborhood Italian: L’Anima’s menu is a collection of quintessential classics, but the execution, ingredient selection, and presentation are all A+. The gnocchi are truly among the best I’ve ever had (modified to vegetarian since we don’t eat pork). The parmigiana pinsa was so yummy and appealing that we did not even pause to take a photo. This was a meal in which absolutely nothing went wrong and all expectations were exceeded— we’ll be back. (Several dishes can be modified to vegetarian.)Vegetarian options: Gnocchi without prosciutto, appetizers, pinsa options. Not vegan friendly, however… it’s Italian after all.
We went this evening for my mom’s 60th with a party of 8. Our waiter was phenomenal, so attentive and funny. Everything we ordered was 5 stars. Every. Single. Dish. The appetizers came out fast and our waiter was very knowledgeable about how many to order to accommodate our party. The entrees were perfectly sized and I’m going to dream about my pasta forever. Dessert was absolutely amazing and the portions were awesome for the price. 10/10 recommend, 10/10 will be back asap. Thank you so much for making my moms birthday so wonderful!!!

Great service and the wait staff was attentive, responsive and very upbeat.The food was good, overall, however the steak was very delicious in flavor, the cut was too grisly and on other plates, the use of truffle oil was a little heavy-handed.I would go back but I'll be more detail-specific about how I like my plate done.

The food was amazing. I normally have GERD and issues with heartburn. Especially when eating a huge plate of crab and tomatoes and pasta! Not only did I eat the entire plate and a half a chocolate dessert, but I HAD NO HEARTBURN AT ALL.Could have been the seltzer water I drank after, but the food was AMAZING. Will definitely go back!

All the food was delicious. The gnocchi and the fries were outstanding! Service was great. If it could be improved: the bread they served in the beginning was old and not good. The octopus needed a bit more salt or seasoning (and I generally eat less salty foods)Parking: There's 2h free parking around and on weekends there's no time limit

Grilled octopus and fish. The grilled shrimp were well prepared but not super-fresh. The food generally is v.good. Atmosphere is simple but good.- simplistic. Service was very good for the price range. I will return. (have been twice since summer).
