A special shoutout to Hannah, who went above and beyond to make our evening perfect. Hannah handled out larger party with such ease and professionalism. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations and mentioned the specials for the night, and always seemed to appear right when we needed something. Her attention to detail and genuine hospitality truly made us feel valued. If you’re looking for a place with great ambiance, fantastic food, and top-notch service, look no further than 1860 Italia. We’ll definitely be back!

I hope it was an off night because service was absolutely terrible [it was not particularly busy, but at least half the tables had patrons]. Based on service alone, I would not recommend. Table of 6 for a birthday dinner. Ordered 4 appetizers and NO UTENSILS OR PLATES were brought to us. Really unacceptable. The apps were cold by the time we could flag down a wait staff person. Ordered bread and asked for some olive oil for dipping, olive oil never came. Requested a bottle of red. Waitress came with a glass. The entrees were made well and portions were generous. Waitress was just oblivious though and missed the mark. Disappeared and never asked how the meal was. I'm not looking for 5 star experience however to drop $400 for a birthday celebration and have the very inattentive service means we wont be returning.

I was in town for a conference and this restaurant was highly recommended by my colleagues. It was delicious. Didn’t disappoint! I had the chicken Marsala and the French onion soup. Extremely flavorful and very tasty.

UPDATE 2: Do NOT recommend salmon Oscar! UPDATE: Love the new table top lights! Highly recommend charcuterie board (request no bleu cheese), mussels and caprese appetizers! Prior review: Perfection. I was there at lunch so it was not busy. I had the lemon herb salmon and swapped out the pasta side for zucchini. Delicious! The Unshackled sauv blanc was also perfectly chilled. Service was very attentive. My only criticism: a water filter for the tap water might remove the awful taste of College Station’s water from the tastebuds so the customers can truly appreciate all of the flavors. And some small restaurant table lights might make it feel more quaint instead of dark? You have the most important things going right!!!!

We had such a great time at 1860 Italia for a Wednesday night date night. It was certainly busy, but all of the staff were very nice and attentive. We ordered the calamari, linguine with clams (red sauce), spicy pepperoni pizza, and tiramisu -- all of which were absolutely delicious. We were visiting from Dallas and really wishing we had this place closer by, as it beats most of the Dallas Italian places. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and serving sizes. For drinks, we just had the house cabernet, but it was truly delicious. We didn't catch our waitress's name, but she was graduating the next day -- she was a star! Overall, this restaurant was a great date night spot with attentive staff and a very high-end feel. We will definitely be returning when we are back in the area.

New review. I am updating my review. I went today 04/18 to celebrate my birthday and the food was not good the lasagna my husband order was really salty that he got to return it. My gnocchi vocka was salty. The spaguetti and meatballs were spicy for my daughter to eat. The waiter brought the appetizer without utensils. It took us a while to get them.I will not come back again the food taste and quality had change not sure if the chef was change or what happened but service was terrible and the food didn’t taste as good as my first review. Prior review This was the best Italian food we got in a while. Our server Tyler was very attentive he recommended us the Chianti. We order the Santa Cristina Chianti very soft and nice wine. As appetizer we order the tomatoes and mozzarella with arugula.The fry calamari they both very delicious and the portions were great. Main entrees were the lobster carbonara, shrimp scampi and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken.overall the food was super amazing. Hope the restaurant could offer the shrimp scampi appetizer as an entree with pasta, because it comes with bread. Our waiter offer us a side of pasta but my husband decide to eat it with bread and he said it was really delicious. For desserts we order the tiramisu the best I had and the blueberry with mascarpone cheesecake. We couldn’t get to try the cannoli since they run out. We will definitely come back to eat here the food was not only delicious but the service provided by Tyler was incredible. He never rushed us since our reservation was at 945pm ;on the contrary ,he gave us time to eat our appetizers and then order our food. Our compliments to the Chevy for the amazing food and the owner for the great restaurant.

Absolutely delicious! Got the filet rare and bartender told me there was a special for the evening where they top with shrimp, sauce, and have mashed potatoes around it. Figured why not and it was so tasty! No pic bc it got devoured rapidly. I was worried since it seemed like a nice restaurant on the website and I was straight from the hospital in scrub pants and a t shirt. However the bar area was pretty casual while still feeling very upscale. The bartender was super attentive and very friendly! Beer was poured perfectly, ice cold, food was amazing, and service was perfect. Will definitely be back!

It was very crowded. I expected more of a unique, luxury feel. We paid close to $200 for an average dining experience. I felt like we had to duck and dodge to just sit at our table. The server was kind and knowledgeable. I do not feel that the atmosphere is worth the price.
