About this business

Americano serves Italian food created by the famous Chef Paul Arenstam. All ingredients are fresh from the local farmer's market. The owners have added a twist to this restaurant by including an aromatherapy garden near the already existing patio where you can lounge and have your drinks served to you. The restaurant and bar are world class and the décor consists of natural woods and warm tones.

Very Disappointing, nothing to write home about. – I was excited to go to Americano for a fun dinner. What I got was less than mediocre food and very disappointing service. It also has boring, usual ambiance. Not recommended.

Can 1 bad waitress ruin the night? YES! – The food was mostly terrific, ambiance is sleek, but the service was the worst I've suffered in ages. Apps were decent (nix the artichokes). Entrees were a hit. The 6 of us agreed that we'd come back for the pork alone...over and over again (assuming service will improve with different server). The lamb was very tasty (though too rare), atop scrumptious cous-cous. Desserts were all good. The distinguishing disappointment was our waitress. She was impatient with us upon arrival, unhel... read more

Disappointed – The location, view and decor are very nice and trendy. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Nothing here to write home about. Lacked distinct flavors. Also, Friday nights are not a good night to have dinner as it's very, very loud with the Friday after work drinkers. Our server was nice and knowledgable. I would go to have drinks again but save your $'s and go somewhere else for dinner or appetizers.

Not Impressed – I went there for lunch, the decor is very nice. But I can summarized the food as trying to hard. It's not American, it's not Italian and it's not good American- Italian fusion. Everyone at my table were not impressed with their food at all.

Cheers for Americano!!! – This place just opened in March and has created quite a buzz. The servers are well trained, confident and professional. The food is creative, fun and of really good quality. Americano offers an approachable wine list for all palletes and price ranges. Definitely try the artichoke appetizer, the margarita pizza and the chicken or duck entree. Desserts are also exceptional. The Icecream sandwich and Zeppole were stellar!

Definitely NOT Italian, but Italian inspired – Nice looking bar, dimly lit. Quick bartender with an easy smile, perfect margarita, very fresh. Courteous host when we checked in, but the girl who brought us to our table wasn't friendly and didn't smile. The table was simple, no tablecloths and cool, funky green chairs. Roasted peppers were tasty and sweetbreads were fantastic, but too many for a starter. Lobster ravioli was good, tuna was boring, w/pears? duck with risotto wasn't salty enough. Steak with wedgelike potatoes wa... read more

Outstanding service in chic new restaurant! – I eat out very often for work and for pleasure - and had an outstanding experience at the new restaurant Americano last night. The wine list was varied and had lots of great options in all price points - and for once, the staff all seemed well educated about what they offer. The food was very good as well - the asparagus appetizer and the duck entree were really delicious. The desserts were good, but not as outstanding as the rest of our food. Definitely a restaurant for the cool... read more

User review by biajeano – This was a great dining experience. Prices are reasonable and the food is well worth it. The wine list is great. The menu is creative and the interior design creates a hip, luxurious and satisfying experience. I found the service attentive and friendly. The servers were well versed in their menus and were also able to give several suggestions that I was very pleased with. Americano is a great place for a drink after work and delicious dinner anytime. I would recommend it to all.

Hotel Food with an Effort – Green garlic soup w/poached egg, toast, parmesan. Not that interesting even w/the egg and cheese. NY strip roulades (two) stuffed w/mushrooms, sauteed greens, grilled baby onions, fingerling potatoes. Steak was med rare as requested; filling dish. Slice of pizza from neighber had buttery/pastry like crust. Dessert was zeppole (freshly fried donut holes stuffed w/ricotta dusted w/sugar) w/three sauces, pistachio, caramel (least favorite, kinda citrusy), choc. Server was attentive; room warm w/wood,... read more
