Calabria Ristorante Italiano

First visit, my husband did a great job finding this place for a date night. The food was great and very yummy. The steak is as good as a high-end steakhouse. The service was attentive and outstanding. Highly recommended!

Had the best time celebrating 🍾 my Birthday! They food was soo good, Was seated by the Sweet owner and our Server Eddie, aka "Miguel" was AWESOME, he really made my night special, will definitely be back!!

The food was good and filling. The service was slow, we sat with empty glasses of water for a while. There were also people waiting about 10 minutes to be seated when there were tables available and just not cleared yet. The restaurant was cozy and we could only hear the conversation of the people right next to us. However, there was a male waiter that was EXTREMELY loud and his voice carried all over the restaurant.

This was my first visit and happy to say, I will visit again soon. The waiter was extremely friendly, helpful, and made sure everything was to my liking. He treated all patrons the same and it was easy to tell there were those who frequent this restaurant as he knew them well. My food was excellent and I thought the price point was fair. Thank you

Overall: Great! This place was wonderful, I'm glad to have finally found a good Italian place so close to home! The food was really good, and service was wonderful.

Very upscale neighborhood restaurant. Waiter was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was delicious. The only downside was their hours 4:30 - 8:30 but if you get in, it's worthwhile.

Eddie was an amazing and friendly server. We love going here for our pasta fix. It is a nice place to go out on a date but it is also family friendly. I had their ravioli special and the sauce they used was to die for. I have never tasted anything like it in my life. Super delicious.

Wow! Awesome first experience at Calabria. Server was really fun and knowledgeable with the perfect amount of attentiveness and space. Kids Mac was “mega bomb” according to my kids, my brothers Alfredo was spot on and my fettuccine boscaiola (sautéed mushrooms, artichoke hearts in a white cream sauce) with the addition of chicken was perfectly delightful. A lot of restaurants skimp when you add a protein which is tough when paying an extra $5-$12, but not Calabria. The chicken was plentiful! Tiramisu was awfully good as well. Definitely will go back and recommend to family and friends.

Great neighborhood restaurant! My friend lives in the area and we were looking for something new to try. We arrived half an hour before closing and they let us know we needed to order quickly. That wasn't a problem for two hungry gals! The menu had all the staples one would expect and our server was friendly and helpful. Looking forward to returning again! We had to park on the street because the lot is shared by several businesses, but it was fine.

It's not quite a 4 but very close We ordered the calamari, it is sautéed in a yummy red sauce, slightly spicy. Veal piccata was tender and tasty, the accompaniments were perfectly done. Penne calabria was tasty. The fettuccine dish with mushrooms and artichoke hearts in a light cream sauce was delicious, added the prawns to the dish. We each had side, two Caesar and one mixed greens. The Caesar were very good. The other was a spring mix. Unfortunately I didn't ask what kind of greens and asked for ranch. I felt the mixed greens as a side salad (with entree order) at $8 was a little high for what you get We did enjoy the food. The restaurant is quaint and unassuming in its location.

Food is very good. It's actually the best Italian around; very convenient. I don't think I will ever dine in again though. They have one male waiter who has always rubbed me wrong with his extremely loud voice but to have BURP while serving, not once but twice! Not quietly then say excuse me and be embarrassed but LOUDLY, so loudly it could be heard throughout the restaurant, then do it again several minutes later?!? Totally disgusting and ruined the entire atmosphere. I go out prepared to pay $150+ for dinner and I anticipate basic manners from the wait staff. This was horrifying and GROSS. No thanks; too many other options to put up with that.

It was our first time in and we made dinner reservations for two. We still had to wait a few minutes to be seated, and there isn't much room inside to wait. Everything was pretty middle of the road here, definitely edible but not spectacular food and wine, our waitress was friendly but seemed rushed and the other employee there was more stern in demeanor. The ambiance is casual and decor is the expected sconces and grapes, with the extra addition of thick dust bunnies clinging to the walls above the light fixtures.

This is the weirdest experience I've ever at a restaurant. The waiter was nuts. I don't know if he was drunk or this is how he always is - loud and obnoxious. We came here because the ratings were good but we will not be returning. The food is extremely overpriced. Filet mignon was a special and I didn't know it until I got the bill it was $63. Some of the flavors were good, but my seafood was way overcooked. Appetizer of clams was $20 but there might've been just 15 clams a very small bowl. The white wine was warm!? I was in disbelief. We left there feeling like what the f*** just happened?

This place never disappoints! Good drinks and fantastic food! The servers are great company along with them being on top of check-ins for water and drinks.

Food took forever to come out and the service was very bad. When we asked the server if they make fresh pasta and she said it's boxed pasta from store. If it is store bought pasta why did the food take so long?!

Had the best time celebrating my birthday, as soon as we arrived we were seated by the Sweet owner who told us the story of the restaurant since it was our first time dining. Once we were ready to order we had the great fortune of having Eddie, aka "Miguel" as our Server, and he absolutely made our night, wo many laughs with him, it was a great time with Delicious Food and Wine, we will definitely be back, thanks for making my Birthday so special, it meant more than you know!!

Came to the local family joint for my birthday and did not disappoint. 1) Veal Gorgonzola. The sauce is so good. I would have liked a little more protein or perhaps some plain pasta to go with the sauce, but it was really good. I like the crispy potatoes and vegetables it comes with. 2) Halibut with lemon butter wine sauce. This was cooked really well. Served with the potato and vegetables. Again, would like some plain pasta to help go with the tasty sauce. 3) Minestrone....this is the only down side to the meal. It was vegetables in a weak soup. It was very bland and weak and lacked pasta (or rice) and beans. It was basically a veggie broth This place is a gem. A little heavy on the saucing so if you like less, do let them know. Overall this is a family favorite and we will continue to support the local small restaurant.

My wife and I took her mother to Calabria for her birthday. I would give 4* if this review was only about the restaurant and food; however, I cannot do that since our server Gene greatly influenced our evening. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Outdoor seating is available to enjoy on nice evenings. Indoor ambiance is perfect for a special dinner or date. Calabria offers a full bar; however, only domestic beer can be ordered. When my wife ordered a Manny's she was told that Calabria wasn't that kind of a place. My wife ended up ordering a Jameson and Coke for $7.50. My MIL and I shared a bottle of Viberti La Gemella Rose for $47. Complimentary bread and herbed olive oil was delivered shortly after being seated. Tasty nibbles. We shared the Bruschetta Special for $12 (4-pieces): goat cheese, chopped tomato, basil, garlic, and olive oil dressing on toasted bread with a fresh sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. A full-flavored appetizer. My MIL ordered the Fettucine Alfredo with Prawns for $25. She enjoyed her dinner choice. My wife ordered the Raviloli Con Funghi for $18. She was also pleased with her dinner choice. I ordered the Pollo Boscaiola for $23. I chose pasta as my side instead of steamed vegetables. My dinner was delightful. We declined dessert at Calabria to enjoy somewhere else. Our server Gene was vocally loud, brusque and invasive. Gene was literally at our table every 5 minutes which made it hard to have an in-depth conversation amongst ourselves. Gene obnoxiously was at our table filling our wine glasses after a couple sips were taken. Gene inappropriately asked us if we would like to-go boxes while were still actually eating our meals. Gene made our whole dining experience feel rushed and I left upset with myself for allowing Gene to make me feel that way especially after paying $150 for the evening. Overall, Calabria has tasty food with reasonable prices. If I return to Calabria, I will specifically request to NOT be seated in Gene's section.

Cozy family restaurant. Attentive service and delicious food. Good wine list too! It has been a special place for our family for many years.

I'm not sure why we haven't checked out this restaurant in the past. It's so close to our neighborhood. I'm glad that we made reservations as the restaurant is smaller in size and they were busy for a Thursday night. They only had one server, but he was a funny man! Out of everything we ordered, the calamari was a surprise delight as well as the creamy bolognese. Those two dishes were robust in flavor and outstanding! The others seemed ordinary in comparison. Hot tip! Thursday nights are half off some wine bottles!!

One of the most memorable dining experiences I've had! What a quaint restaurant tucked away in a shopping/living area of Bothell. The service felt very personal and welcoming. The food was incredible and hands down the best Italian food I've had.

I loved this place!! The salad was delicious and I loved the beef ravioli with mushrooms. The mushrooms were cooked perfectly. Often, it seems like restaurants overcook veggies and this was not the case here. I highly recommend this dish if you like it. We also tried the beef bolognese, and spaghetti and meatballs. These dishes were good but not as great as my main course. The waiter was amazing! Kind, communicated well but did forget about us a couple of times. From the time we got our appetizers to the time our main meal was served was about 45-50 minutes. The couple that got there after us (30 minutes after us) got their food first. It wasn't particularly super busy either.

Calabria is an excellent Italian restaurant. The previous reviews were kind of mixed, but we were really pleased with our meals and will definitely be back (probably for the half-priced wine night). It was crowded--so it is a good idea to get reservations. The interior is charming and very comfortable. The service was really excellent throughout the meal with good advice. They have a really nice wine list, not extensive but with some good choices. We started with the bruschetta. That was really tasty, with nice chunks of fresh tomatoes on really good bread. For the main course, I had one of the specials pasta with spicy Italian sausage. That was really great. The pasta is wonderful with a great sauce. The sausages were made there and were a real treat (but definitely with some spice to them). I also tried the fettucine Alfredo and that was great also with a really rich sauce. We were full, but got the tiramisu to go. It was made there and was a really generous portion and delicious like everything else. I hope others ignore the poor reviews and give this great restaurant a try.

Amazing server and food... Pasta and portion size was PERFECT. I had their tortellini special with sun dried tomato and mushroom. A great find, I will be coming again!!

This small family restaurant boasts 12 plus years in Mill Creek and is an excellent place to dine . Your server GENE is the best! Everything from appetizers and wine selection, half price bottles every week on Wednesday and Thursday and a quaint atmosphere for friends, families and couples. The house salad is a meal in itself. Steak and seafood dishes as well as a variety of pasta dishes. Go there hungry and enjoy!

Fantastic entrees at very reasonable prices. My favorite is the polo bosciola The staff is wonderful. Kudos to Gene, Eddie and especially Katrina

I have lived in the area for quite awhile and did not realize there was a place with authentic cuisine near by. It seems popular with the locals, many people say hello between tables. My friend and I were seated with a warm welcome. The customer service was overall attentive but seemed a bit rushed and full of warning...that if we did not hurry that we'd be waiting along time for food as the restaurant fills up. I found this to be annoying and not necessary. The clams in my dish were very tiny and may not have been cleaned probably as there was sand in more than one. The drinks were delicious and provided much comfort while we took our time. I assume this experience is an individual one and next time will be different.

Oh my! Just snuck in with my adoring husband for a quick dinner, YUM! What I love... The owners are on site, and delightful! Our server, Gene, is fabulous; a beautiful, clear voice with an attention to detail The food!!!! Oh my gosh! Yay!!! Crab fettuccini with asparagus tips in a tomato-vodka-cream sauce...yeah, it's that good. The sauce is a perfect match for the crab! And Craig's spaghetti with meatballs? Excellent! The meatballs were light but strong. The sauce was perfect and bright! Did I mention half price bottles of wine? Yep, it's kind of hidden in this little area - GO FIND IT! Rhonda, we love you!

This little hidden gem might be the best Italian place on the Eastside. The food is always good, and depending on what you get, it can be great. Our family come here every now and then and we always get Gene as our waiter. Gene is amazing, probably one of my favorite people I've ever met. It's a great spot for date night, as the restaurant is pretty small and intimately lit. But I've also seen groups here, you may want to call ahead if you have more than 5-6 people though. All in all, this is one of my favorite restaurants, and I hope to be able to continue coming back for a long time.

We stopped by here on our way back from Bells Farms Strawberry Festival and it was full of pleasant surprises. Although they have outdoor seating, we opted to sit inside since one of us had sunburn... Whoops! Our server was friendly and could be heard making jokes at other tables. I thought his fun demeanor was nice. The restaurant itself is richly decorated, but it definitely has a warm and inviting feel. Some of the guests (ourselves included) were dressed casually and others were more dressed up. Drinks: They have a full bar, but they had a red sangria as a special so we got those. They arrived in hurricane glasses and we're particularly boozy; we were not displeased. Water refills were plentiful. I also had a glass of Barbera ($9). Food: Let's see... He had the Ravioli con Funghi (not pictured) and I had the Fusilli Caprese (with prawns). We were both surprised at the good portion sizes and flavors since the prices didn't reflect that. For dessert, we split a slice of tiramisu. Boy, was it a big piece! *A $3.00 fee is added to any entree split orders.

$12 for 3 frozen meatballs added on I couldn't even finish one, i honestly wish i asked for the salmon farfale. Too expensive for too little noodles compared to the amount of sauce they put in. I don't know, if you wanna spend a lot of money for little amounts. Good bread and olive oil though.

I'm concerned by a few things, but, I don't want this to be a slam of this restaurant that bills itself as "Calabrian". This really is an attempt to help this business succeed. There's nothing on the menu that is actually Calabrese. Even the preface to their menu mentions Tuscany and Sicily, but never explains what makes Calabrian cuisine unique. it doesn't even use the word "Calabria". In Calabria, pork is king. Not beef, nor veal (which are all over the menu). There are zero dishes featuring this Calabrian staple. There's a Bolognese sauce for a pasta dish which is traditional to...wait for it...Bologna, not Calabria. The Fettucini Alfredo is a traditional dish in...wait for it...America, not even Italy, let alone Calabria. That dish uses Parmigiano, a cheese rarely, if ever, used in Calabria. Pecorino, a sheep milk cheese, rules the landscape My larger point is that if are looking for fare that truly represents the Region of Calabria, this isn't the ristorante for you. But, if you want standardized Italian-American food (think spaghetti and meatballs) then you're in luck. I've eaten there once and wanted to jog my memory as to why I never returned. It all came rushing back to me when I looked up the current menu. If they didn't use "Calabria" as a name, my expectations would have been significantly lower. Again, I'd love this place to succeed...but, by being truer to its namesake and not by giving Americans a distorted, untruthful view of traditional Calabrian cuisine.

Great neighborhood Italian spot, somewhat hidden from major roads. Variety between main menu and nightly specials. Quality ingredients and protiens, coupled with authentic preparation made for phenomenal flavors and balance. Service from our waiter, Gene, was personable, friendly, and genuine. He was colorful and enhanced our family dinner experience. He offered honest suggestions and went above and beyond to make our first visit memorable. Only suggestion would be for more wine by the glass options. Our first glass of chianti was a bit stale, but Gene made an excellent suggestion for our second glass that was much better. We will definitely be back! Favorite dish of the night was penne carrettiera, followed by the linguine diavola. The kids mac and cheese was rich abd definitely made from scratch.

Amazing service and food. Server was knowledgeable about menu. Ambiance is warm and welcoming. Food was phenomenal - ordered minestrone, ravioli con funghi and gamberi diavola. We cannot wait to come back.

I don't understand why this place isn't packed. We walked in and everyone we passed smiled and said hi. The service was fast and kind. Everything we order was delicious and made sense for the price. We can't wait to go back.

Cannot say with confidence that the tortellini dish (one of the specials that evening) was worth $31, but I was happy to have it because it's been awhile since I had tortellini. It wasn't bad. Just a bit overpriced. The interior had fun details. There was a wine bottle used as a lighting fixture and a wreath made of wine corks. Our waitress was friendly and made our dining experience more enjoyable. Will come again in the future to try other dishes :) Maybe not a special. Something on the menu.

We had our second dine in visit here last Friday night, and it reaffirmed just how great this little gem is! The Caesar salad is fantastic. Fresh hearts of romaine without any of those brown ribs you usually have to push aside. I love that they have rotating specials not on the menu. This time I went with the halibut, it was flaky and cooked perfectly in a yummy cream sauce. My husband loved his chicken parm. For dessert we shared the limoncello cake. Soft and spongy but not too sweet. Loved the luxardo cherries on top! We had the same server this time as last--I wish I knew his name, because he deserves credit for the overall wonderful dining experience. He's a character, and knows the menu, food, and wine very well. A+

Wow. What a terrible choice to come here. This is the worst pasta I've ever had. You're better off going to even Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory. Don't ever come here, for your own sake. Let me start off with the worst -- I asked them if they could make a carbonara (if it's a legit Italian joint, of course they can, right?) Well they said they could! Wonderful! But when I opened my takeout box, it was a curdled mess. I should have taken a picture but I can't be ruining your appetite while you're looking at reviews! It tasted like greasy deviled eggs gone wrong. But even if it tasted good, the texture was so off-putting. If you mess it up that badly, you have to remake it, right? The spaghetti was also too soft, so it was obvious that the carbonara was exposed to too high of a heat and over cooked. And the Parmesan was grainy??? It really is the worst I've had... I wish I could erase it from my memory. Next -- aglio e olio. Italian classic. Simple, but delicious. Or so it should be. You can't really mess this up, right? Oh god. It was the worst aglio e olio I've ever had. No flavor, no umami. Maybe salt it a little more? At least the noodles were al dente. Oh, let me add: I added meatballs to this order since they don't have Italian sausage. Might as well try their house made meatballs, right? These were ALSO the worst meatballs I've ever had. They had a texture that was firm and mushy. And that flavor was so... weird. It didn't smell fresh? We also got the linguine alle vongole and the spaghetti di gabriele (a creamy bolognese). Those were very subpar. They weren't the worst I've ever had, as I've described above, but sooo subpar. I've definitely had MUCH better versions just about anywhere else. I don't have complaints per se, just so lackluster. My aunt got the frutti di mare, and apparently she gives it a 4/5. She said the sauce was good, the squid was good, and the shrimp was good. I didn't try it though. Bonus! I usually don't take customer service into account with reviews but boy, oh boy, the person who picked up the phone to answer my takeout order sounded like she HATED her job. You know the lady from behind the counter in Monsters Inc? The one with the cat eye glasses and the monotonous, annoyed voice? ITS HER DOPPLEGANGER!! I asked if she preferred one dish over another and she was like "those are completely different sauces..." I just wanted your opinion :( I asked if the portions were shareable and she answered with a harsh "No." Anyways, this whole experience was a disappointment and a nightmare for my tastebuds. Averaged to $20/pasta dish (outlier: frutti di mare $35). I've had authentic Italian pasta for half the price and 100x better. Overpriced, overrated, and never coming back.

Nope, won't do that again. I'm a local that's been here a couple times, and everytime I say I won't be back, but I try to give local businesses a chance. Every few years I try it, and regret sets in after. When we arrived we were asked if we had reservations. We did not. They said maybe they could squeeze us in, and didnt want to turn us away. They acted as of they were doing us a huge favor. It was maybe half full. We were promptly taken to a table. Weird greeting. This year, they had a waiter named Jean. He talks loud, is very vocal about telling you how he's the trusted wine expert, and is a little unprofessional. For example, my wife can't drink, but were told right up front "we don't have a drink menu, but have a full bar". Interesting combination. So she asks for a virgin mojito. "No mint" we're told. Ok, so what do you have for mocktails? We have lemonade he says with out skipping a beat. So she ordered a club sode for 4$. I got a glass of Chianti that had been sitting on something warm as it was above room temperature. Food came out after a bit. It was unremarkable. I think OG does is better, and cheaper. Chicken Fettuccine, and Penne Chicken. Both were blazing hot to touch and eat for a bit. I saw some reviews mention use of microwave, and I wouldn't rule it out here. Very strange. The restaurant also is also poorly managed. It looks like it's from 20-30 years ago. Dozens and dozens of bottles of wine stacked on everything. Empty milk crates on the floor, papers the manager was using at the counter I think was a bar before it was covered with a hutch on top. Oh and the older lady who sits around that I think is the owner. No greeting from her. She is too busy playing on her phone, rearranging silverware, then playing on the phone or making weird eye contact as she walks by. Oh she did reset a table once after someone left. Gotta hurry and get out on more of that classy butcher paper. Overall won't be back. I think next time it's anywhere else for Italian.

Best Italian place around. Small business. Sadly the owner's wife passed away. Staff is great. The Gorgonzola is the best. During the week they have half off bottles of wine. Great ambiance too. Love their little tables outside.

Recently needed to go for a place for date night and always knew that this place existed but never made the attempt to go until last Friday night. When I made a phone call for a reservation the gentleman was very friendly and made it very easy and said he would have a table ready for me when I arrived. When I arrived I told him who I was and he said yes I spoke to you on the phone a very friendly man who Who I found out was probably the owner instantly got a table ready for us when the place was extremely busy I was very impressed. The service was fantastic above and beyond and very attentive. For once I felt like we were not rushed in a restaurant the food took time to come out from salads and appetizers to the main course. The food was fantastic I cannot wait to come back here and try out some of the other Italian dishes they have to offer.

I try my best to not leave 1-star reviews for small businesses since they don't have the backing of a large corporate parent behind them. But unfortunately, when it's bad, it's bad. And the food here - simply put - is bad. The food lacked an overall sense of taste - adding table condiments actually helped to improve the taste, sadly. We were looking forward to a good Italian food experience - that's why we came here. When the food took an extremely long time to come out (over 30 minutes and the restaurant wasn't that busy) - we gave them benefit of the doubt thinking that the food will be freshly cooked and tasty. Nope - that wasn't it. I've had frozen meals from Marie Calendar that tasted about the same. Disappointed all around - please go somewhere else.

Came here for the first time to try some place new for our anniversary and weren't disappointed. They have a gorgonzola cream sauce (I had it on steak, but it's in a lot of their dishes) that's amazing. Everything tasted fantastic, and the service was great. There's a classic Italian decor that, while maybe a little dated, is very nice. Definitely has "nice dinner out" and romance potential.

Excellent Italian food from owners Italian mother. Great service and wine list. Prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Love this place and eat here frequently. Family-run and service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the caprese as a starter, Beef Ravioli, Gorgonzola pasta, and fettuccine- all are delicious. They have a great wine selection and we usually end up with a bottle of Chianti.

My husband & I love this authentic Italian food! We have been coming here for years & the owners are incredibly kind!

Fabulous food, fabulous wait staff. Always remember you from previous visits. Highly recommend.

Love this little place! Great food and great service! Nice selection of wine and entrees. Can't wait to go back!

Came here before my sons football game. We were seated right away. The bread and dip were great. We ordered some bruschetta to start and it was yummy. Service was excellent. Staff super friendly. They have daily specials. My husband ordered the sausage, pepper, mushroom pasta special and he really enjoyed it. My mom loved her penne,prawns and gorgonzola pasta. I ordered the puttanesca it was ok. It needed less sauce and more pasta. Small wine list, but all the god Italian wines. Big dessert menu. My mom ordered the lemonchello cake to go. She texted me later in the evening to say it was delcious! Lots of parking nearby.

I went to Calabria's Italian Restaurant last evening to celebrate my birthday and my friends birthday!! Our waiter (who I forgot his name, sorry) was amazing and the special which we both got, steak gorgonzola with mushrooms and potatoes and veggies was out of this world!! I highly recommend this place for any reason you need to go out for dinner!!

I read the reviews before coming here, and let me just say I'm so glad I ignored all the negative Nancy's in this review section! I think it's important to remember this is a small business that cooks fresh food, unlike the chains that come frozen. Definitely try this restaurant and see what they have to offer. Tip of advice to these negative comments: don't go to a restaurant and order something that's NOT on the menu. Who do you think you are, the queen? In addition to people saying a server was unprofessional: they greet you, seat you, and serve you. They're not your entertainment and it's not like these small business have a HR manager on staff to train to this "professional standard" you expect. They did exactly as anyone would expect your server to do. ALSO: this restaurant has about 12 tables so YES a reservation will ALWAYS be priority over a walk in during this situation. If you want an immediate sit down at some big restaurant, choose a chain. Stop holding small business' to the standard of corporate chains. Try this place before you knock it. I am so happy I picked this small business for my birthday dinner.

Had their Tenderloin with Gorgonzola sauce, one of their specials last night. One of the better steaks I've had lately and the Gorgonzola sauce?? To die for!

Everyone and everything we ordered was awesome . The spicy red sauce with the calamari was a 10.

Gene is a loud overwhelming waiter but nice. Had house special pasta with sausage. Gene said it was 5-6 on spicy scale. Consensus among 3 of us that it was 8-9!! Food was good.

We just discovered this darling place...felt like we stepped in to Italy. The food is amazing! The service is excellent! They serve yummy, chewy bread with flavored oil and balsamic vinegar. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. Our server recommended a delicious red wine. We were celebrating a birthday, so brought a dessert to share. Such a nice evening:)

Service was nice, restaurant was nice, but food was lacking. Boyfriend had some kind of tortellini with ham and I had the bruschetta and minestrone soup. The pasta resembled an O.G. pasta, cheese with a side of pasta. Nothing remarkable. The bruschetta was two pieces of toasted bread and about 5 tomatoes diced up. I was craving tomatoes, so I ate quite a bit of it, but there was still a TON. No other real flavor. The soup was actually very good, buy would have been much better without the cheese on top. That was odd. Overall, the food was bland, and left lacking. But the service and outdoor seating we had were very nice. Probably won't return, though.

We had a really delicious dinner here Sunday night. We had the linguine vongole, fettucine with chicken, and saltimbocca. My husband loved the saltimbocca, and my vongole was so good my daughter switched plates with me to eat the 2nd half of it. The service was outstanding, the owner himself was checking on every table to make sure everyone was happy. As other reviewers have mentioned, this isn't the place to get a quick dinner though. So, plan on a relaxing and more slow paced dinner and you'll be good. I loved the family oriented neighborhood feel and ambiance.There were at least 4 tables with babies, and the staff was clearly happy to have them there. Parents with young children looking for a nice dinner out, this place is for you.
