Went with my husband tonight and OMG. The food was incredible, our waitress was fantastic. My husband got the stuffed veal chop, and I got the Barramundi. Both were specials and both were well worth it. I got the mushroom soup which was hands down the best I've ever had. My husband kept saying that he wished we lived closer so that we could come back sooner. Absolutely amazing dinner and service.

Last night we had a party of 8 who enjoyed the entire experience at Imperatore! Luis was a fantastic server who helped to make our evening a phenomenal event!! We ordered approximately 10 different appetizers and each one was more amazing than the next and all were outstanding. The main courses did not disappoint either. Some of the many positive reviews were-“ This veal chop was by far the best I’ve ever tasted! It was cooked to perfection and melts in our mouths ” and “The Australian fish (a special) was a great combo of unique and delicious flavors that I devoured followed by the chicken and crab dish that I ate which I absolutely loved!! We were never rushed and every request was honored without hesitation. Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant! I highly recommend everything about it!

I ordered the salmon and lobster risotto. The salmon skin was crunchy and cooked to perfection! The risotto was rich in flavor. The roll with olive oil dipping sauce, wonderful. I had a taste of the lemon mouse pie with blueberries off to the side, a sweet end to such a wonderful meal. Coffee great, too. Congrats to Sarah, for wonderful service.

A very reliable "go-to" for awesome Italian food. The staff give you the impression that they actually enjoy providing their service, which is rare these days. The food is amazing, especially for the price given other alternatives in the area. A true gem.

To start with the good: Atmosphere is very cozy and intimate. Service was attentive despite the restaurant being booked. They knew their specials and menus to a T. Kudos to the front of house. Portions were generous. Now for the bad: We ordered the bruschetta. The bread was a little too thick, the tomatoes were fresh but unseasoned, and the Parmesan was noticeably shaved in advance, it’s bite, dryness, and flavor were completely absent. The only herb on the plate was chopped parsley, and it was bruised and flavorless. For our entrees we got the chicken parmigiana and saltimbucca. The tomato sauce with the chicken parmiginia was good, but the breading on the chicken lacked any texture and the chicken was chewy, with a little gristle in some of the bites. The carrots that came on the side were slightly undercooked. It’s an insult to call the saltimbocca just that. I have never before seen a saltimbocca drenched in cheese. The prosciutto was flimsy and flavorless. The chicken was likely too thick to pan fry (it was medallions instead of pounded out; pounding it out would solve the chewiness in the parmigiana), and so the prosciutto couldn’t develop its crust, nor could its saltiness diffuse into the rest of the dish. Normally, fresh sage is tucked between the prosciutto and the chicken, but this restaurant chose to put it in their demi, which really was a weak gravy. When I saw the sage demi on the menu it piqued my interest, but throughout eating the dish I was unable to taste the sage once. A 4.6 is what this restaurants review rating is when I write this review, and based on my experience this is way too high. Good servers and atmosphere do not compensate for subpar food. The menu is an appropriate size, so there’s no excuse for any dish to be a bomb.

Bland. Amazing places don't know how to season anything. Chicken Parm had no flavor, lacked garlic, olive oil, salt etc. They seemed annoyed that we wanted bread. Salad was decent. Ordered chocolate mousse cake and got wrong dessert. Ridic. Sorrentos is 3 times better. Just calling it as I see it.

I am so glad we finally tried this place and this place was phenomenal! The service was great! We can’t wait to come back and get dessert this time !
