He created a menu of memorable Italian dishes including silky pastas, inventive antipasti, and delicious entrees. Above all, it’s Vincenzo’s love of people that makes 83 ½ what it is: a warm, welcoming place where friends and families share their passion for food and familiar faces. We can’t wait for your family to meet ours.

This is the second time I come to this restaurant and I love it, the only thing is that I made my reservation and somehow it didn’t show up in their system but they didn’t turn us down, they had a table and we got to stay. I give it a 10/10, they just need to cheer up the staff because they’re not too friendly.
