3-Star Review of Piazza Italia
Came here after getting a strong rec from friends. Unfortunately our visit didn’t quite measure up to their praise. Walking in, the vibe felt a bit frantic with a bunch of people running around and a lack of overall awareness to the people walking in. There were a couple larger parties there at the time. Eventually we were seated at a 2 top near the bar. Food overall I was a bit disappointed by. We went with the special carbonara like dish and it was heavy, dense, and packed with onions. I understand the use of cream and cheese in these dishes but it lacked some freshness that I would have hoped from a classic spot such as this. Maybe there’s some better dishes to order but our first impression was not great.
