Simpatico

Really wanted this one to be good but unfortunately it missed the mark. Waited a bit to be seated. Once seated said they had coke products but was out of everything but coke. Server was kinda awkward in the sense he would finish talking and still stand over the table for a bit. Food was mediocre. I like the made in house pasta, but I had fettuccine alfredo with chicken and it was pretty dry. Great location though and a nice atmosphere. Hope they can improve it. There has been quite a few places in this location over the years.

Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Simpatico. Service was good and their menu had a fair number of options so there was something for everyone. Ordered wine from the menu but they didn't have it so I had to choose another option. No big deal. Asked questions about the menu and the server had to ask the kitchen; they didn't know the answers because the head chef wasn't there. 🤔 Ok, I course corrected and made other menu choices. They have small and large options for appetizers which I liked. I had the small beet salad which was delicious! Pizza was also excellent! The Pork Osso Bucco was cold but the bed of risotto it came on was very hot. Didn't quite understand how that could happen, but the kitchen corrected the mistake. Otherwise, the risotto was delicious and the pork was enjoyable. The cheesecake for dessert was 5 stars for sure! Overall, I enjoyed my experience here but there's a few shortcomings they could address. I would come back again when I'm in the area.

We had a great experience at Simpatico tonight. Super comfortable seating, with multiple dining areas from the bar to private rooms and outdoor dining as well. There's a laid back lounge area with fireplace, too, so something for everyone. The pastas are all made on premises, and my goodness it shows. The Osso Bucco was perfectly cooked and simply divine. We had pistachio ice cream and tiramisu for desert that was heavenly...plan your meal to leave room for desert!

Simpatico proved to be an exceptional venture from the moment Jesse welcomed us to his restaurant. The establishment is open yet maintains a comforting and warm atmosphere. The seats are comfortable and the tables are welcoming. Our waiter, Grant was kind, patient, and helpful with all aspects of food and drink. Barbara, the bartender, created phenomenal martinis and limoncello cocktails. The food was exceptional. The golden beets were fresh with hearty flavor on a bed of rich balsamic vinegar that had the smoky essence of a reduction sauce. Perfectly cooked salmon and its crispy skin rested on cannellini beans and kale. The flavors were strong and extremely satisfying. For dessert, the tiramisu was remarkable. Fresh, creamy, and drenched in espresso, it capped off the meal in grand fashion. Many thanks to Jesse, Grant, and Barbara for their hospitality and care. The goal is to return as soon as possible!

Simpatico - 4/5 Stars Just visited Simpatico during their soft opening, and I'm genuinely excited about what this place will become! Owner Jesse (co-owner of the beloved Pennsylvania Rye) has created something special here - an Italian-inspired restaurant with New Orleans flair that showcases his exceptional beverage expertise. The Highlights: The space itself is impressive - over 300 seats thoughtfully sectioned into different areas so it never feels like a cafeteria. The square bar area is particularly striking, with outside seating and completely open doors that connect to the Arts Walk area. I can imagine this being absolutely beautiful in the evenings with that indoor-outdoor flow. The cocktail program is absolutely outstanding. The Jungle Bird was a revelation - ingredients you'd never think to combine creating perfect harmony with smooth rum and pineapple. The Affumigato (Campari, lime, bitters, agave, reposado) was so delicious I had to exercise serious self-control not to order three more. Jesse's sommelier background really shines through the entire drink menu. The food showed real promise. The focaccia with olives, tomatoes, and roasted shallots was excellent with perf
