This place is AMAZING. Not one thing I can complain about. The food was delicious. Drinks were good. Service was great. How anyone can rate this place less then 5 stars is unknown. I had the linguine w/​clams (AMAZING). My friend had the chicken parmesan (amazing). I will definitely be coming back. And telling everyone I know about this place. WAY WAY WAY BETTER then Olive Garden or Bucca.

I can’t speak to the food, as I have yet to eat here — I will, so check back.
How then, you might ask, do I justify 5 (FIVE) Stars… having not eaten the food? Fair question. Read on:
These 5 STARS are credited solely to David, the bartender.
David gets (+) 3 STARS as an initial rating, for attempting to be cool, with a cocktail-​napkin-​flip trick, as one bellies up to the bar and he approaches to take your order.
Unfortunately he earns minus (-) 2 STARS, for fucking it up… wa wa! This leaves him, and unfortunately Imola, with only 1 STAR.
HOWEVER, David digs deep, earning a plus (+) 3 STARS, as a bonus, for being a total mensch… after the f’up.
His mensch like qualities were on full display as he confronted the abject humiliation of such a miserable failure head-​on, showcasing first class bartending skills, good humor, grace, and an aptitude for bartenderey personableness that would rival even the great Sam Malone.
David is adept at his craft in a town where for many it’s just a «job»…and probably a burn out one, at that.
SUB TOTAL: 1STAR + 3 STARS = 4 STARS… so, how do we get to 5?
Well, the beer and spirits selection is what I look for in first rate establishment, a nice mix of cocktails, craft beers, and standard favorites — as one does not always want a craft brew. The prices are among the cheapest in town, so that’s a plus.
With the tally near done, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE reason for awarding a plus (+) 1 BONUS STAR, and bumping up the score… to 5 STARS…
Mullets, combovers, dolphin fins, man buns, and buzz cuts, the surf’s up, the Johnny Bravo, and the modern take on the pompadour… these haircuts are ubiquitous around town, but it’s only at Imola, when David is working, that you can get your rum and coke, your tequila sunrise, your Pacifico, or Sculpin, a Jameson neat, served by a guy with such a rad mohawk!

This was my first time here with my boyfriend who lives in HB and it was a great time. The food is delicious — I got the bolognese– and our server Angel was super helpful telling us all the specials and providing great service.

Great food, great service! $ 2 shock tops for happy hour! The chef, Kevin went out of his way to make sure we had excellent food and complimentary dessert!

Um… the garlic bread though?
I’m going to start with praising the food. Kevin, I’m not worthy! The freshest ingredients, cleanest flavor and professional technique make the food incredible! The Grilled Chicken Breast is a must try!
The service is also great. Brie was a fantastic waitress. She made sure we had what we needed when we wanted it.
I love the full bar and the vibe is awesome. They have some cool and tasty specialty cocktails that their experienced bartenders actually enjoy making. Big shout out to Dave, Eric and Monica. My glass was never empty!

Great little place for some good Italian food! The Lobster Mac was delicious, a little salty, but over all very delicious. We also had the Chicken Parmesan and the Shrimp Scampi which were also both delicious. I Will definitely be back to try the rest of the food on the menue! Also happy hour all day on Thursdays! :)

Delicious food, wonderful service.
We stopped in for a late bite and was pleasantly surprised. The environment was inviting, the food was good, and our server Kaelyn was exceptional.

Another great night here! Bar was awesome tonight, even better than my previous experiences. Live band was on point! I hope they keep the live music coming!
Drinks were perfect as always!
See you guys soon !

Omg. The building must be cursed. This place sucks just like before. Service sucks. Bring your own utensils because they ran out. Also earplugs are a must for the bathroom. Guitar center made out like a bandit on horrible lighting and sound. Don’t go. Food was good though. And management tried to rectify the issues so five star for that. But still a ways to go.

I had the lasagna and it was very very good. The staff was nice and the prices were good. I like the atmosphere. Its like a bar restaurant that serves italian.

Absolutely amazing! If you’re looking for a good happy hour, this is the place. Staff is amazing!

I’ve been here a few times and it’s quickly becoming my favorite place for cocktails and dinner. We had 2 of the weekly specials that were great. I had an Old Fashioned and I love that they have the big round ice cube for that drink.
The Chicken Parmigian was perfect and the garlic bread is might be the best I’ve ever had.

Love this place!!! Amazing food… Even better service!!! Angel was amazing!!! He had great suggestions and was sooooo awesome!!! Thanks for being the best spot on 5^th Street and the only reason to come DT on a Saturday!!! XO Angel and the Peroni reps… The were awesome too!!!

Cool outside area with TVs and Fire pit which is dog-​friendly. Staff was very nice and the pizza was bomb! I’ll be back soon to try the lunch menu and the rest of their drinks.

First time here!!! Its Valentine’s Day! My boyfriend and I are here for brunch
The food is delicious they even have nutella for for waffles and French toast! The mimosas come in all sorts of favors. Rasberry, blueberry, peach, and orange. Kaelyn was our server and she was on point! We did not have to ask for much because she was already on it with a pretty smile on her face the entire time.
The kitchen staff was extremely helpful in the brunch area! They served your plates and explained was what being served as you drooled through the dining room due to the smell of the mouth watering feast.
If you are looking for a good vibe with amazing service and delicious food close to the beach this is definitely the place to go.

I went because the name is fascinating to me. I am Italian and Imola with its heritage should only be used for supreme things. That said, and maybe is not even very important to others, I went and I had a good experience. I got carpaccio and was presented very well and I appreciated the mix of flavors. I also had a prosciutto pizza and that is where I got disappointed. The dough is tasteless and the toppings weren’t as I was expecting. The price was $$$ but I am ok with it. I wouldn’t try other Italian dished but I will be back for other more American dishes.
Don’t take it wrong
I am open to discussion.
Thank you

Unfortunately I would of given this place 5 stars if it wasn’t for the waitress being so soft spoken and not really knowing what she was doing. But other than that the restaurant is beautiful and has a nice ambiance. Also the food was delicious! I only had the manicotti and I did get to try my gfs spaghetti dish and they were both very delicious. But to be honest I was more sold on their garlic bread!

I live in the neighborhood and saw they were open today, went in and had dinner, this place is gorgeous inside. the food was amazing, I love spaghetti and meatballs and this was the best!

This place is awesome! I am here for their soft opening today and the food is delicious!!! Definitely going to be a gem in HB. You can’t mess with the strawberry lemon drop cocktail!
