About RPM Italian
Rows of circular ceiling lights, black tables, white leather chairs and a busy bar under tall windows give the long room a nightlife polish that suits groups as much as couples. The kitchen's strength is pasta made in house, with squid-ink pasta with crab, pesto bucatini, truffle tortellini and shrimp spaghetti all turning up in recent photos, alongside meatballs, garlic bread, grilled steaks and a chocolate cake with a loyal following. Lunch starts at noon on weekdays and weekend service begins at 3pm; the kitchen runs to 10pm, or 10:30pm on Friday and Saturday. Google rates it 4.7 from nearly 5,800 reviews, with well-cooked pasta the usual praise, though an occasional diner finds the cooking ordinary and the waits for food and the check long. Expect big-city pricing and a smartly dressed, going-out crowd.
