    Customer Service: not the greatest. Not friendly, very dry and uninviting. Good: pizza was ok. (Shareable size) Calamari had a nice flavor and one fried shrimp. Shrimp and scallops dish flavorful. Portions are quite small. Drinks: I have NEVER been served a shot for a drink. Overall: I won't be returning or recommending. It wasn't welcoming from the start. Not a pleasant first time memory

    Update! Been many many many times now. This is my top go to place for casual but delicious dining with great service and cocktails. First time visiting this quaint and intimate little Italian restaurant and we were not disappointed. This is not your typical pizza & pasta place. Their menu had some really unique dishes and cocktails as well. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and having great service, provided by the lovely Emma June. For our appetizer, we ordered the Grilled Octopus, served with freshly cut and crispy fried potato medallions. Delicious! For our shared entre, we ordered the Skillet cooked meat and mushroom lasagna. Also delicious! (And the bottom pasta ribbon was just the right amount of crisp to it as a result of being cooked in the skillet 😋) Finally, what kind of fan of Italian food would we be if we didn’t try the Tiramisu?!? Loved it! Overall, would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be returning to sample more of their menu!

    We were on our way to a quartet nearby. When we decided to try something new and different for pasta. Read the previous reviews and glad we stopped by. Absolutely loved the open atmosphere. The weather was perfect, and allowed customers to have access to both: inside and outside seating experience. The lighting, dimmed for a romantic evening. The aromas of fresh breads, wines and soft chatter of others around you. For dinner, I chose the rib ravioli. My counterpart, ribeye cooked to absolute perfection. Lets not forget the perfectly seasoned veggies and potatoes. Staff were attentive, and also new to the establishment. Will be returning again!

    Service is slow and unprofessional. If you don’t have a reservation (even with tables available), and you’re not dressed to their standards (which I guess that’s debatable cause I saw other people in T-shirts) they treat you like they wouldn’t want you to come back. We came in for dinner, with my grandmother and daughter who is two, we asked for a high chair and never got it. Patio chairs are extremely uncomfortable for an elderly person. Pizza is great, octopus forget it, over cooked and chewy. Worst part is that when we notified the waiter and the manager we’d like to send it back due to the poor quality of how the octopus was cooked the manager was unprofessional and quite frankly treated us arrogantly. Honestly our waiter was really nice, but service was slow, seemed like he had a large section all to himself.

    Swung by Enoteca Rossa and, let me tell you, this spot is a vibe! It’s buzzing with energy, and the folks here have their service game dialed in. Get this: they even have complimentary valet because, yeah, the parking situation is a bit of a squeeze. Pro tip: beat the weekend rush and snag a seat early. Now, onto the feast. We dove into a pepperoni pizza that was a straight-up masterpiece. The crust? Perfectly charred edges with that wood-fired kiss. The pepperoni? It was like little savory discs of joy that packed a punch with every bite. And the cheese melted in a way that made my foodie heart sing—stretchy, gooey, and gloriously golden. But hold up, it didn’t stop there. The Pasta Alla Besciamella? Friends, it was a creamy dream. The pasta was cooked al dente, each strand generously coated in that rich,white creamy sauce that had me contemplating whether it was too soon to ask for the recipe. It was comfort food, but make it gourmet. Enoteca Rossa is a winner through and through. Great vibes, great bites, and service that makes you feel like a regular. If you’re cruising for some authentic Italian that’ll make your weekend, this is your jackpot. Just remember to roll in early, and you’re golden.

    A cozy restaurant with a romantic atmosphere; hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide wine list and wonderful dessert options. Our server, Olivia, took the time to go over the wine profiles and made excellent reccomendations to pair with our delicious food. We will definitely come back and explore the rest of the menu.

    A friendly local Italian restaurant. Pizza is crisp and soft (relatively thin, but not the ultra-thin crust). Not a long menu but cover many popular American-Italian favourites. Friendly services. Reasonable prices. Re parking, there is a small lot at back. Read signs at entrance re shared parking with neighbor stores, adjacent lot. Valet available for dinner.

    Food was good. Service was slow and once you pay the bill the waiter will not come back to your table at all. Also, it smells funky inside. Almost like the restroom door is left open. It’s faint but apparent. Went during lunch. It wasn’t busy.

    We came for Christmas Eve dinner. The entire staff was wonderful, friendly and warm. The waitress took the time to introduce all the specials and came by often to pour the wine and to make sure everything was okay. The food was great. My filet mignon was just a tad cooked more than I expected a medium rare but it was still very delicious. This place is consistently great.

    We went this evening on a whim as I was craving pasta. Being ceoliac this is not as easy as just popping to any restaurant. A quick Google search recommended the restaurant and I’m so glad it did! Our server Kylie was so friendly and most importantly so clued into the options available to me. We sat outside which was so nice in the evening & the food was outstanding. With thanks to Kylie, we will be back & I am already working out what I’ll want to get next time!

    I'm delighted to share my experience at this wonderful Italian restaurant in our neighborhood. The quality customer service truly sets this establishment apart. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and cater to any requests I had. It's evident that they prioritize their patrons' satisfaction. The attentive and friendly waitstaff added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Alongside the exceptional service, the food was nothing short of outstanding. Each dish was expertly prepared, bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Italy. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was remarkable. This restaurant not only serves delectable Italian cuisine but also provides an experience that leaves a lasting impression. For anyone seeking a memorable dining experience with top-notch customer service, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this neighborhood gem a try.

    Service is great and food is good. Limited options so be prepared but enough if you don’t have any dietary restrictions. Note that they have 3 pasta types but the food it self is great. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Zainab G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely garden vibe with DELICIOUS food. We ordered mussels (crazy good), scallops (because pulpo was sold out; above average), wood-fired pizza (we inhaled it), chicken marsala with angel hair (still thinking about it), and two brunch plates (basic egg plates; skip). Get the rosemary biscuits (brunch menu) and mussels (dinner menu)—you won’t soon forget them! + our waitress was phenomenally kind, accommodating, & generous. Go today!

    Restroom out of order, took more than 5 minutes to be seated( only one family was in dining room), pizza dough salty and pale. NOT what I expected for the high ratings. Why a flat salty pale dough while a hot beautiful oven on? Is it for show? The rest of the food was okay.

  • 2/5 Leo G. 1 year ago on Google
    The server was very friendly but she seemed to have a lot of tables and felt neglected. Pizza: the dough lacked salt and was dry, felt like it crumbled. The toppings were good on their own, but the dough really made the pizza taste bad. Pasta bolognese: it also lacked flavor and the pasta seemed over cooked and was mushy. I had high hopes cause of all the great reviews, but for that price point I expected more.

    We love this boutique Italian restaurant. They have fantastic service and the GM Austin did his best to make it accommodating and welcoming. Service was great, wine menu is a Goldilocks menu - not too long, not too short - enough options that you aren’t left under- or overwhelmed. Always our first choice for Italian when we can make the drive!

    You need to come and eat some very good pizza. Great place to just relax and have a glass of wine.

  • 5/5 Oliver D. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a hidden gem, do not be fooled by the outside. The food is to die for and the wine is exquisite. I would definitely make the 14hour drive to this place.
