Interactive tableside experiences will include an antipasto cart where guests can curate their own plate with over 30 different items. There will also be a must-try Limoncello cocktail cart and a Zabaione dessert cart.

The Italiano's lounge and bar will be open at 3pm, and reservations will begin at 5pm for main dining.

The food was all very good, but overpriced. While the salad and grilled octopus appetizers were both above par, the grilled Bronzino and Pasta Mare were satisfactory but not $48 dishes. The service and atmosphere were both just OK. Bottom line, this is a premium priced restaurant without the edge to justify it.

Our experience was exquisitely wonderful and the Short Rib Lasagna was truly the best we've ever had. Kudos to our server Nadia for the recommendations and great service. Also, the pianist was amazing and we truly enjoyed our evening.

Our service and food were both excellent. It would be nice if somehow it could be a bit quieter so that you could have a conversation at your table.
