We love Cantoro’s because food quality and service are always on point. Veal Saltimbocca and Veal Marsala were outstanding. The sausage risotto was underwhelming but we finished off our meal with an excellent cannoli and delicious banana gelato.

Always good food and service, feels like a special night out in nice restaurant but relaxed welcoming atmosphere. The soups are a bit salty sometimes. The restaurant can be a bit noisy when full especially with the piano, so hard to hear if at a larger table, even with only 4 people.

Loved everything from the food to the service, but the one downfall this restaurant has is the noise level. You’re close in seating arrangements and the acoustics aren’t good so the noise level is high at full capacity. We had a business dinner and it was quite hard to hear at times. Other than that, I love it!
