    Il Carciofo is awesome. The service was terrific and the food was off the charts. The carbonara was the best I have ever had and the artichoke appetizer is a must. Zeppole dessert was a great way to finish a great meal. Already booked the next reservation!!

    The food and vibes were great! Our waitress, Casey, was amazing. Only thing that was really annoying was their obvious urge to turn tables over. In a matter of minutes, we had 4-5 separate people try to take our food that we were clearly still eating (literally said “no thank you, we’re still working on that” while we were mid-chew). The same thing happened with our drinks. We had a bottle of champagne in an ice bag that we repeatedly had people take out of the bag to check how much was remaining. Other than feeling rushed, this place was awesome.

    I always have a great experience at Robert’s. I have my favorite food selections (cup and char pizza, arancini, Caesar salad, homemade ranch) but any new items I try are also winners as well (Cali italia pizza - so good!). The managers are always checking on customers if there is a question about something. My mom’s wine pour seemed lower than usual and they fixed it immediately and made sure she was satisfied. Robert even came by to say hello which was very cool, and you can’t beat the window view of the Christmas trees by the Ogden slip! I always take my out of town visitors here and will continue to do so.
