There is nothing wrong with Biaggi's per se, but little things are missing. The soup is saltier than it used to be, the rolls aren't as warm as they should be, the sauce tastes just like everybody else's. it could be better. Let's hope it gets there again. More

Biaggi's offers a full menu and extensive wine list and bar. The waiter we had was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, changes in the menu and, when asked, offered personal recommendations on dishes. We always enjoy sitting at the high tops in the bar area. While noisy, it offers a more intimate setting and great atmosphere. Our table of four... More

My spouse and I visited Biaggi's for lunch on a weekday, as part of a "secret shop". (his assignment) We ordered an appetizer to share, entrees and then shared a dessert. Both of our meals were very good - I had the chicken marsala, which was nicely presented, hot and flavorful and a good serving size. Our waitress, though new,... More

We hear there are more authentic Italian restaurants in the area, but Biaggi's will always be our first love for delicious food and excellent service. It is rather affordable for a fine dining experience. My husband and I like that we can go in jeans or dressed nicely, and feel comfortable either way. We love the complimentary bread and oil...

Biaggi's is just down the street from my house, so we frequently get take out or just go there. I would say I have their food 2-3 times/month. We love the selection on the menu, and have tried many of the entree's. The food is very good. My daughter and I especially like the gluten free bread!! The GF menu... More
