    Truly exceptional meal. Appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. Literally every bite was delicious. I definitely need to come here more often.

    Known gem in the neighborhood, usually booked out. Small space, great food, quite noisy. There is a sense of authentic Italian eatery in it. The menu is shorter than average, but everything is top notch.

    Always a lovely experience. So warm and cozy. Arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation and was greeted by the host immediately and offered a cocktail while we waited for our table even though there was no seating available at the bar. Lovely and friendly service from everyone starting with the host, to the waitress to the gentleman who bussed our table. I had the prosciutto ravioli and my husband had the ribeye. Both were delicious. Great wine and cocktail selections .

    The food was mediocre, The blonde waitress with the glasses kept pestering us, walking around the table, making comments to us, and making me uncomfortable. I felt like I was in a police investigation, not a restaurant.

    - Friendly and attentive staff - Tagliatelle Carbonara: NO PEAS! Thank you for keeping it traditional! Delicious! - Roasted carrots never tasted so good! Nice char without a burnt taste. - Zeppole was the best dessert I’ve ever had at an Italian restaurant. To say it’s just a fried donut hole would be an injustice! And the tiramisu was one of the best our table have had. No overpowering flavor of bitter coffee or amaretto like some other places have. A tad bit pricey but a great place to share a special evening. Group of 4, celebrating 2 birthdays.

    To start, Cantinetta used to be much better and was a go to place for dinner. Quite disappointed on my recent visit. Why? To start it was like eating in a wine cellar. Dark and cold inside. So dark you can see people trying to read menus with the phone flashlight and that should have been a hint to the host seating people. Besides sitting in the dark and cold, the menu was and has always been limited which was known going in. However, the quality of food has taken a hit and the food prices have gone up enough that coming here doesn't really make sense anymore. If you're going to pay a hefty price for dinner, you may as well go elsewhere where the lighting is good, has heat, and a decent menu selection.
