    Service was good, but food was terrible. I was given a raw steak and lobster. The mashed potatoes were very runny and soggy, almost like quick sand. The food was not it, unfortunately

    Some of the best Italian food my husband & I have ever had. Run, don't walk to this restaurant. Unfortunately, we ate here while on vacation. This would be our go-to restaurant if we lived here.

    We had a large workgroup and needed a dinner spot after a long day, and Asti nailed it. The service for our big group was fast but not rushed, the food was great, and the environment was cozy and comfortable. I’ve already recommended Asti to a couple of friends who live locally, and I would absolutely return in the future.

    Great service. Very flexible to our needs. Loved the mixed grill. A bit noisy but it was a Friday night. Good time for all!
