ITAVIE New York Grill & Bakery

I have been going to Itavie since they opened and have never been disappointed..This past Saturday was no exception..I had family in from Richmond and we decided to go to Itavie for dinner. The food was excellent and the service as usual was perfect..Our server Sonia was just great..She made sure our dining experience was one that we wouldn't forget..It was the first time my out of town family had dined at Itavie and they are already looking foward to a return visit. Thank You Maria, Sonia and the entire Itavie staff.

I visited Itavie with a party of four. I ordered steak gorgonzola pasta, the description on the menu made it sound really good. However, it ended up being a rather disappointing dish. The pasta had an odd texture, the sauce had no flavor and there wasn't much gorgonzola on the steak. To be fair, the others in my party enjoyed their food, but it was a miss for me.

Recently went to Itavie for the first time and loved it! Service was excellent! We had Sonya as our server and she made us feel right at home. Super friendly and personable. The manager stopped by a couple of times and was super friendly as was the rest of the staff who would also stop by to clear a plate, etc.

Food was delicious. My two notoriously picky kids loved it too...so much so that we went out of our way to go back the next week to try all new dishes and desserts. We saw all the same staff and they were just as friendly and welcoming as our first visit. Highly recommend!

Exceptional. The wine list had some great Italian varietals. The Amarone is a must. The entrees were delicious, and desserts were incredible. Tucked away in Spotsylvania Courthouse, it feels like a hidden gem. A little pricey for a casual night out, but it's worth every penny. It would have been less expensive, but we ordered a lot because we couldn't say no to anything. We'll be back again and again.

The food is always delicious! Every time we are in town this is where my son wants to eat.
Salmon salad is my favorite, and he gets the pepperoni pizza. And you certainly can't leave without dessert - good luck deciding!

Food and service were great. Relaxed family atmosphere.

We love this place. Always good food, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and hard working. Nice atmosphere. Good quality ingredients, and don't forget to get some dessert to go if you are full! Lots to choose from!

Stopped by here for lunch. Very nice setting, they got outdoor seatings.
Bakery/coffee section is great!
I also tried shrimp Alfredo and garlic knots.
Alfredo was good but garlic knots were average, inside of the bread wasn't baked all the way.
Service was good as well.

I went to Itavie earlier this evening and after the awful display I will not be back. My overall waitress and service from them was amazing along with my food while expansive it was okay. I had front row tickets for the most UNPROFESSIONAL management ever. The table near me may have been a little picky but something was wrong with a Creme Brûlée dessert they ordered and she asked the waitress to have the chef reheat it the way Crème Brûlée is normally served (not cold) They originally said no and the baker was not there. She complained a little more and a manager came and spoke to her and tried to handle the situation after that you could hear the owner yelling in the kitchen about how awful they were for asking for it to be warmed up. Mind you they have a window in the kitchen and they were sat right next to it hearing every word. They yelled about it for over 5 minutes and it truly ruined my own appetite. On top of that you could see the poor waitress sad after dealing with the yelling and trying to help her table. This was an awful display and shows how little they cared about their customers and providing a nice STRESS-FREE atmosphere. I’ve never eaten at a Fancier restaurant and seen customer treated the way they were or heard the kitchen yelling and screaming.

Noisy atmosphere. Yelling in kitchen. Rushed service. Server tried, but clearly was under pressure with too many tables. Not worth the cost.

We called the Thursday Feb. 6 to get a reservation for Valentines Day. The hostess told us it was first come first serve on Valentine’s Day (no reservations). Showed up at 4:40 pm on Valentine’s Day and we were greeted with a 1hour wait. We looked around the restaurant and saw several empty tables. When we asked about those tables, we were told they were reserved. Wait what? When I explained that we had called last week and the policy was first come first serve, she stated the policy changed and they started taking reservations on Wednesday! I couldn’t believe all of the disgruntled people walking out.

Well, we decided to wait and it was more like a 30 minute wait (yay!) before we got seated. They put us at a four top even though there were just two of us. The four top next to us had a “RESERVED ” sign on it. No one was seated there during our entire meal. It was still empty when we paid our bill. Meanwhile there were about 20 people waiting for seats.

All in all, it seemed like they were a bit disorganized on such a big night for restaurants. While we never felt rushed and the waitress was good, it was just an average experience for us. The appetizers were fantastic, the crab and corn chowder would have stolen the show if it wasn’t lukewarm, and the pasta entrees we ordered didn’t really sing to us. We had to ask for Parmesan cheese. Isn’t that usually a given for pasta?

They just seemed really overwhelmed. For example, they had three employees working the takeout orders. That seemed a waste of personnel who could have been put to better use elsewhere. Maybe the manager was having a bad night. Who knows? If we are driving out that way, we may give it another shot. Not for a special occasion, though.
