    We had an absolutely memorable experience celebrating my mom’s birthday at RPM Italian! The incredible service started before we even walked through the door. Elyse reached out to me ahead of time regarding our special dinner, and it was such a lovely surprise to see the menus customized just for my mom's birthday. Our server, Sal, and the rest of the team were incredibly attentive all night and made fantastic recommendations. The drinks were great, we loved the RPM Spritz and the Timeless Negroni. As for the food, everything was excellent. The meatballs, tuna crudo, Caesar salad, filet mignon, and chicken parm were all absolutely delicious. To top it all off, dessert was a spectacular treat, especially the 14k gold chocolate cake. I would highly recommend RPM Italian for any special occasion!

    The best steak anywhere it’s my favorite steak restaurant, the staff is always so welcoming and servers are all so great and knowledgeable beyond the normal expectations. They go above and beyond for special occasions and you can take home a custom printed menu plus their in-house spun cotton candy they decorate as a bonus celebratory treat is unique and delicious, the ambience always feels sophisticated but warm, lighting romantic. Would recommend to anyone to go for a special date night out, birthday or anniversary if you love steak.
