Reviews
If you are looking for a tasty Italian meal at a reasonable price and excellent service, you need to stop in at Italia Gardens.
As we walked in the wood burning oven was fired up, see photo.
We arrived early and were seated quickly and our server, Savannah, was very pleasant and attentive to us. Would definitely ask for Savannah on our next visit for sure.
With the meal, came a very nice salad for 4 with greens, olives, tomatoes, onion, pepperoncini and croutons with an Italian dressing. Also a wonderful loaf of bread with whipped butter.
With the meal we ordered garlic bread which was excellent and would serve 4 easily.
We placed our orders and by the time we all had a plate of salad, our meals had arrived.
The portions were definitely on the large side seeing that each of us got a to-go container.
As much as we wanted dessert there was just no move even though the desserts sounded delicious .
There is a history for the Italia Gardens, take time to read it.
Would definitely go back to try a different dish.
And lastly, their to-go bag was labeled reuse and recycle, which is being environmentally conscious.
Came here for dinner after passing by the place like thousands of times. I was running a race the next morning so needed to carbo load. I also want to preface this that I don’t typically like Italian food.
First of all, right off the bat, the service is phenomenal. Our waitress was super nice. Very friendly, helpful with the menu. Attentive and overall just made the experience better.
The menu is a good size and seems to have a pretty decent variety, the pizza looked particularly good. I’d like to come back and try it sometime. Pizza just wasn’t what I was feeling that night.
We had the lasagna and the ravioli and the bruschetta. The bruschetta was good, although a bit oily for my taste. Both lasagna and the raviolis were good, although I found the sauce way too sweet. We also had a tiramisu to go and it was pretty good.
Overall, it’s a pretty good Italian restaurant and if you like Italian food I would recommend them.
I decided to order some food for delivery, hoping things had improved since then. Regardless of it being delivery, the complete lack of care or quality check is wild to me.
Unfortunately, it couldn’t have been further from the truth. I ordered the Alfredo and a calzone, both of which were barely edible. The sauce was completely separated, and the calzone was charred on the bottom and somehow still cold inside.
It’s sad not being able to support local businesses because the quality just isn’t there—especially when they’re charging $25 a plate for food that’s barely edible. I’m not trying to be harsh, but you can’t expect people to pay that kind of money and receive food like this.
Very disappointing.
The staff was super friendly, and the wait time was next to nothing considering how good the food was. Everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. It’s great to see a family restaurant still serving high-quality food at a great price.
The inside of the restaurant was warm and inviting — I especially loved the cozy flame from the wood-fired pizza oven. I’ll definitely be back!
The food is good. Typical Italian done well. I had the lasagna, and it was delicious. My son said it was the best salmon he has ever had, better than my grilled salmon at home which is a favorite of his. Great bread.
They take pride in their history here, which you don’t usually see.
You were not there. The couple before us was even offered complementary wine, because they had to wait the 15 minutes. There were 3 tables available for parties of 6 or 8. Deny all you want; an apology would have been better. Your explanation is as bad as your grammar!
It took over an hour to get to our table, and by then I was half-expecting a handwritten apology, not a lukewarm plate of regret. Our waitress didn’t help matters either. Once the food hit the table, she vanished like a magician’s final act no check-ins, no refills, no “how’s everything?” Probably because she’d already auto-gratuity’d the bill and knew she didn’t have to lift a finger for a tip.
Between the glacial service, cafeteria food, and checked out staff, Italian Gardens managed to turn what should’ve been a simple pasta dinner into an exercise in patience and disappointment. Save yourself the time and go somewhere else.
