  Food was great! Made a reservation a week in advance for Saturday night. Stuck at a tiny booth by the bar, people basically standing on top of us.

  Really great food, service and vibe but the terribly ai art on the walls was distractingly bad. My friends and I were laughing at it noticing all the ai artifacts and mistakes, the pixelation is bad too. I don’t know if the owner is even aware they got scammed and paid someone for that. Other than that it was nice.

  We tried this out for the first time and were impressed by the service, first and foremost. Our server was warm and attentive. Most importantly, the food was also quite good. I will note however that the art on the walls (particularly the two large pictures—one in the private dining room and one near the back of the main restaurant) are very clearly AI. Once you look for more than a few seconds, it’s distractingly obvious. This didn’t ruin our experience but it was a bit of a downer to see a local business resort to using AI for pictures like this. I suggest they fix this and remove the AI pictures.

  Vespa is our new go to and favorite restaurant. You could not ask for tastier food, great vibes and professional staff. We can’t thank Anne enough, our hostess and so much more, for going above and beyond to address our special needs. The menu selections were perfect for everyone with substitutions easy. Every dish we were served was fabulous, the portions fantastic the plating lovely. We have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world, and we are thankful to have Vespa in our backyard. Thank you again, Beth and Rob

  If I could give this place zero stars, I would. After seeing the glowing reviews, we walked in expecting a memorable Italian dinner. Instead, we got a meal so disappointing it felt like a practical joke. The pasta , as anyone knows is the heart of any Italian restaurant but this was an absolute catastrophe. Mushy beyond belief, as if it had been simmering sadly in a forgotten pot since lunch. My husband got Nona's Sunday Dinner, with a name like that he expected it to be great. Instead the bracoli was completely flavorless, a totally tasteless piece of meat. Nona would have hit the chef with a wooden spoon if she was ever served that! I ordered the Gnocchi pesto & burrata with shrimp.And the pesto… if you’re going to serve pesto, at least pretend to include basil or garlic. The sauce that was virtually flavorless, The only resemblance this concoction had to real pesto was its green color. It completely lacked the vibrant punch a pesto sauce. A restaurant specializing in Italian cuisine should master al dente pasta and classic sauces like pesto. The bland execution of such staple items significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. While the atmosphere was pleasant, the flavor profile of the main course was nonexistent. The service didn’t salvage the evening either. It was inattentive at best, uninterested at worst. I cannot recommend this restaurant if you value authentic Italian flavors. With so many great Italian options out there, don’t waste your time or money here. The stellar reviews must be from an alternate universe, because the experience we had was nothing short of a bomb.
