What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise Itria for its outstanding handmade pastas, especially the squid ink tonnarelli and beef tartare with housemade chips. Diners also love the knowledgeable staff and inventive wine list. The small plates format makes it easy to share and sample, which is perfect for groups.

Areas for Improvement
