First time here and it didn't disappoint. I love that the menu is different each time! It brings a uniqueness to the restaurant and an excitement to try something new. We will be back.

We had the 5 course tasting menu. Everything was quite good. Portions were a bit small but I enjoyed everything and did not feel as if I overate which tends to happen when having several courses.

ITL 101 is one of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Reservations are helpful, as the restaurant seats around 50 and fills up fast. But the food is fresh, well prepared and taste authentic, just like you were eating at one of the better restaurants in Italy. Located in Medford, it's a quaint setting. For fine dining, this is a must.

It had been a few years since we had eaten here, and it will likely be several more before we return. They have a very limited menu, and though the options for mains were ok (a chicken, a fish, and something else I can't recall), we weren't thrilled with the preparations. I did get the chicken, and it was very flavorful but also very tough. My wife ended up with a smallish pasta dish that was unaccompanied by anything. A pasta dish would normally not be her first choice, but she was underwhelmed with the mains, and was thus disappointed with her dinner.

The brussels sprouts and octopus appetizer were outstanding as usual. You can't beat the Pomodoro pesto pasta second course, or the prepared table side tiramisu at the end, and the dinners are pretty fantastic as well!

It's a great place tucked away on Medfords quaint main street. The menu changes often, so I can't wait to return and have something new. Excellent service and the table-side Tiramisu was entertaining and delicious. The shaved truffle pasta was amazing. It's BYOB so make sure stop and get a nice bottle of wine before hand if that is your thing.

The fresh made pasta was delicious. The ricotta was absolutely the most delicious I have ever had! It was nice to be able to order half portions and to share tastings. Definitely a place to celebrate or for special occasions.

I wanted to share my exceptional experience at ITA101 in Medford, NJ, where we recently hosted a surprise birthday luncheon for my son. From start to finish, ITA101 went above and beyond to make our celebration truly memorable. Firstly, the restaurant's intimate setting was perfect for our gathering of 25 people. The staff at ITA101 collaborated with us on creating a customized menu, ensuring that every detail met our expectations. The entire dining experience was a culinary delight. The meal commenced with a delightful array of appetizers, including the mouthwatering focaccia with mozzarella and prosciutto, and the brussel sprouts with ricotta. The pasta course featured freshly made cheese ravioli with a subtle hint of lemon and a standout cacio e pepe with homemade tagliolini. The main courses were equally impressive, with highlights such as the flavorful chicken with gnocchi and the snapper accompanied by a cocoa bean pistachio puree. The decision to serve the dishes family style allowed us to savor and enjoy each item on the menu. ITA101's flexibility extended beyond the food. We were able to bring in our own cake and beverages, creating a personalized touch to our celebration. The staff accommodated our decorations, contributing to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the room. In summary, our experience at ITA101 was nothing short of perfect. Whether you're planning a special event or simply looking for a relaxing dinner, I highly recommend considering ITA101. Their attention to detail, delicious cuisine, and accommodating staff make it a standout choice for any occasion.
extremely delicious! I have eaten here many times, and the food is extremely the best service is always good. It is a little loud. Resturant is small. I love the fact that on the weekends they change the menu adding meals from different regions of Italy very very, very good.

The food is always good, can't really complain much. However, the service still needs improvement and it's been an issue from the beginning. We waited a half hour for a bottle of water and the server got my pasta order wrong. I didn't feel like making a big deal of it because I enjoy them all. They really are very good. So if you get lucky with a great service and great food on the same day, it's a big win!
Got together on a weeknight with some friends from my hometown. The food was okay. Bread was delicious but wasn't crazy about their formula for their bolognese. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Dessert was delicious!
Every dish we ordered was covered in salt. Too salty to enjoy. The salad was so salty that my lips immediately chapped up. The black truffle pasta was so salty that it was the only flavor in it. The cacio Pepe was covered in salt. The octopus was completely overcooked. Tiramisu lacked so much flavor and it was warm and just horrible. We didn't get bread until after apps because it was forgotten. Just overall I don't recommend. Unless you like a jar of salt poured over food.

Excellent dining experience in all respects. Every dish was outstanding and thoroughly delicious, particularly the pastas. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is comfortable and charming. We can't wait to return.
Great food! And not too expensive!
