It's my second time being here. We went in earlier than expected and they allowed us to adjust our reservations for 6. Service was good and so was our server. The drinks were decent (could be a tad better). Plenty of booze in them though! My custom pizza was excellent. Highly recommend. Clearly fresh ingredients. Definitely will go back.

The happy hour specials are phenomenal! And the food itself is pretty good! Only thing I would at is my pasta could use a tad more salt BUT that is always personal preference ?

We held our rehearsal dinner for our wedding in May at Aperitivo. We had the option to rent out the entire restaurant, which included the beautiful bar area and event space. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing--the drinks, food, and service were unbelievable. Richard was so easy and wonderful to work with, allowing flexibility for what we wanted to offer for food and drink options, as well as technological capabilities to play a slideshow for our guests. Our rehearsal dinner would not have been as amazing anywhere else, and we highly recommend Aperitivo for any special event or even a place to stop-in for a drink or dinner (which we do frequently)!

Please don't put blue cheese in your rigatoni. Had an overall good experience except for the rigatoni. I like blue cheese on salads and even on crackers but putting it in rigatoni is UNCALLED FOR.

Stopped in for the Happy Hour specials right before a concert. The service was good, the drinks hit the spot right, but the spaghetti and meatball... the Caesars salads were pretty good. Even for happy hour prices, let's get back to the spaghetti and meatball. The sauce didn't have any flavor and tasted watered down and the meat ball was hideous. Not even on par with subway meatballs. Nonetheless I'd be back for the drinks and salad

Had a lovely happy hour - drink and food specials from 4 to 6pm, plus the regular menu was available. We had the cheese and charcuterie plate and a pizza- along with drinks. The food had a nice presentation, the charcuterie plate had a nice variety of items - fresh fruit, cheese, candied pecans, dried cranberries, mustard and jam... I couldn't stop munching it was so delish!The pizza had plenty of sausage and chopped red pepper with each bite! For not being a pizza place, it was quite good.Our drinks were tasty and refreshing on this hot steamy day- we were quite happy!Service was good- not too distant and not too intrusive.The noise level rose as more people came in but I guess that's to be expected.

This was the new restaurant of the week and I got parking almost in front of the place. This place is beautiful on the inside with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, wood floors, wood pillars, ceiling trusses, nice bar etc etc. The bar and walls are lit up so it must look so cool at night. This place certainly retains most of its originality and you have to see the cool old door on the mens room. service was great with the Asian woman taking care of me and making a suggestion from the drink menu. She suggested all along the watchtower which was delicious. For my lunch I decided to do the signature sandwich named after the building, the Pritzlaff which is roast beef, caramelized onion, blue cheese, mayo, roasted mushrooms on a toasted sub roll. This sandwich was pretty tasty and that fresh bakery style roll was perfectly fresh/soft. The roast beef was so tender and it practically melted in your mouth. This is a very cool place to enjoy some adult cocktails and food with a setting from back in time, I'm so glad that this building is a survivor and was never dozed over.
