We had the pleasure of dining at the newly opened Medicini for lunch and were completely blown away. From the moment we walked in, the experience was superb. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance – it’s neat yet relaxing, with a warm ambiance that invites you to settle in. Even more impressive was the service, which was prompt, attentive, and genuinely great throughout our meal.
We kicked off our culinary journey with a classic Caprese Salad and some delicious Cheesy Garlic Bread. Both appetizers were excellent – fresh, high-quality ingredients starting the meal on a high note.
For our main courses, we sampled a bit of everything: a flavorful pizza, a perfectly crafted prosciutto and cheese sandwich, and the true standout dish, the Sage Gnocchi. The pizza was delightful, and the sandwich was layered with great texture and flavor, but the gnocchi was nothing short of breathtaking. The potato dumplings were tender and light, and the sage sauce was absolutely amazing – rich, creamy, and intensely savory. It’s easily the star of the show and a must-try item.
If you’re looking for phenomenal Italian food, top-tier service, and a beautiful place to enjoy a meal, look no further than Medicini. We can’t wait to go back!

it was pretty good…nice atmosphere and waitresses were kind and attentive. side salad was very fresh and yummy. ordered one of the specials (which weren’t printed out-would be helpful) bowtie with pancetta & pistachio cream sauce which was very yum. ordered 3 desserts out of curiosity since they’re all made in house- cannoli was good, tiramisu was meh-just tasted like whipped cream and ricotta lemon cake was dense and no flavor-not that great and pretty expensive. its a newer place, but better signage for direction to the restaurant would be helpful… and just throwing it out there-an espresso machine would be great since its an Italian restaurant. I liked the vibe though and would go again to try out other things on the menu 🙂

Over the last 6 weeks my wife and I have had several lunches and Dinners at Medicini. We have had something different each time including their Specials. Aways the food has been very tasty though I did add salt and pepper to many of the pasta dishes. The shrimp Piccata were hugh and delicious. My Mushroom /Spinach ravioli were large, not over cooked and with a savory cream sauce.
The bar wait staff (Liana and Evelyn) are attentive and fun to be with, though it was not too busy. We are going back for music Sunday evening and hopefully the service is the same.
I am grateful for Tim going for medium high Italian rather than a safer “more fried fish”.
The immediate area needs the diversity and now we’ve got it thanks to the talent in the kitchen of Judd and Keith.
The tables on the main floor are well spaced out which decreases the feeling of noise and congestion. This appeals to me wearing hearing aids.

I grew up in NY and I can tell you this was an unforgettable Italian dining experience. For dinner, I had the spinach ravioli and my husband had the shrimp piccata. We had also enjoyed soup and salad for lunch. Everything is fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The service is attentive, the bar offers a good selection of the classics! Can’t wait to come back to this rustic and cozy place! (Oh, and don’t forget to order the cannoli cheesecake….Nonna would be proud!)

I would like to share my recent experience at the restaurant, which left much to be desired. To start I’d like to note that there were numerous open tables and most people were getting done as we arrived.
Service:
Our order took approximately 30 minutes to be taken, and we faced an additional 25 minutes of waiting for the check after requesting it four times. I also approached the bar inquiring about cashing out, but was informed that I could not do so there. Furthermore, I had to flag down the hostess for water refills. The atmosphere was quite loud due to karaoke night, which made it challenging to converse with my party.
Food:
I ordered the spinach ravioli, which was palatable; however, the mushroom sauce was excessively salty. The portion included about seven small raviolis for $30. My husband opted for the chicken fettuccini with Alfredo sauce, which was lacking in flavor, and the chicken was notably dry. My son enjoyed his cheese pizza, which was the highlight of our meal.
Conclusion:
Overall, my experience at this restaurant did not meet expectations, particularly given the final bill of $127. I found the quality and value to be significantly lower than that of Olive Garden, which offers a more satisfying dining experience at a better price point. We left feeling frustrated and disappointed.

This might be a little difficult to find if you don’t know the area but there is plenty of parking. My friend and I were graciously welcomed and seated promptly.
They were slightly busy but our drinks and our meals came in a reasonable amount of time. My friend ordered chicken fettuccine alfredo and said it was delicious and there was enough for another meal!
I ordered the Sage Gnocchi and it was awesome and also enough for a meal the next day!
We were there on open mic night which we enjoyed but it was loud. If you’re looking for something quieter you may want to dine before that starts.
Pleasant waitress and bartender. Nice atmosphere very clean… would definitely dine here again.

Great food, friendly owner and most of the wait staff aswell, however one particular waitress not so friendly, I figured maybe she was having a bad day so I left a pretty generous tip and then she proceeded to return to the table to ask me if I could count… there is a lot of other ways she could have handled that perhaps did you mean to leave this much. Or a thank you.. but to be met with an insult is a bit ridiculous.
apart from that the food is phenomenal! especially their gluten-free options but I will probably only get take out from here on.

The Caprese salad was a standout—beautiful tomatoes that honestly made us wonder where they came from in the middle of winter. The marinara sauce was also excellent, which is no small thing in our house, as my husband is a true marinara connoisseur and very selective.
We were also well taken care of by LeeAnna, whose warm, calm demeanor and genuine smile made the experience feel easy and welcoming. She handled everything with grace, and her presence added a lot to the experience.

Was here for the first time the other night and the sage gnocchi and veal piccatta were fantastic. It would be great to see more red sauce alternatives on your menu like veal & chicken parm, lasagna & raviolis. Also that awesome sage sauce would make great veal and chicken saltimboca. While the European/Mediterranean twist is nice, traditional Italian red sauce dishes would be great and would get me to come back more often.

So, I’ve been to plenty of Italian restaurants that say authentic Italian food…now, I have never been to Italy, so I couldn’t say if this is authentic or not, but it is the best Italian food I have ever tasted. My dish paired perfectly with the wine we had ordered, A scallop dish with risotto, and the tiramisu was phenomenal. Each bite of food we had was just as delicious as the next that left our mouths salivating for more. Definitely would and will recommend Medicini to anyone who loves Italian food.
