Reviews For Clasico Italian Chophouse

This is a regular stop for us, we love the food and the service is great. My favorite is the salmon, cooked medium to perfection and served over asparagus and mashed potatoes but I ordered it with the lemon risotto instead, it has great flavor. My husband enjoys their bucatini and meatballs. The inside is warm, comfortable and inviting and the outside seating provides the feeling of being seated on the streets of Italy due to the foliage and people passing by.

An extensive menu with something for everyone. Generous portions. We all took home food. Our server Aidan was exceptional. He was a recent hire but gave us attentive and speedy service. His pleasant personality was an added bonus. Every table and bar stool was occupied attesting to the popularity of this establishment in an area saturated with restaurants.

We had an excellent experience dining here for an early dinner. The place was nicely decorated and had a great ambiance. We had made a reservation and were seated immediately. Drinks were ordered and arrived quickly. They were also very accommodating with some special requests we had with our baby. We started off by ordering a small plate of meatballs, as well as a wedge salad. They were delicious. The entrees we ordered were the bolognese, chicken Parmesan, pork chop and chicken pesto pasta. Everything was fantastic! Even the kids pizza was large and tasty. Our entire party enjoyed all of the food and had no complaints at all. The service was excellent throughout. We can’t wait to go back, and would definitely recommend Clasico for a wonderful meal!

My gf and I were walking down the street to her favorite restaurant when we saw Clasico and thought it looked so good we changed our plans. Got to know Andrei the server at dinner tonight after he served us breakfast and dinner at the green zebra earlier today! He was so personal and the food was exceptional. My gf loved the sweet potato noodle option for her meatball dish. And I loved the steak.

Thankful for having Steven as our server for our celebration dinner! Steve you are an amazing host! You made every part of our meal pleasant! We had an issue with allergies and Steven made it all workout seamlessly and effortlessly taking down our accommodations. I especially loved the entire presentation of customer service and how attentive everyone was on the staff to ensure we received what we desired! Thank you to the entire staff that made this night special. But Steven! You are top tier!

We had the most amazing dinner at Clasico last night. Our server, Jade, was EXCELLENT. She was so kind, so engaged, and even got us a champagne toast to celebrate our bride-to-be. The hosts were very gracious as well, accommodating our table change. The food was so good, I had the steak tips Gorgonzola gnocchi which was absolutely incredible. I would go back for just that dish. Drinks, food, and service were all superb. Can’t recommend it enough!
