Karla CaillouetJuly 8, 2018Everything we had was great. We ordered the mixed green salad, lentil soup, and flat bread with spinach and veal sausage. The wine was delicious (Italian reds). We would definitely come here again!
- Ivo TzvetkovAugust 14, 2019An authentic Italian culinary experience. A great place to get dinner and bring the entire family. The Polo Pomadoro is a great dish featuring sautéed chicken breast with parmesan and feta cheese.
Carla BucciMay 22, 2016Grouper was fantastic! Perfect portion for dinner. Eggplant and Calamari are nice appetizer options. If you are a Chardonnay fan- highly recommend the 2014 Popcorn. W
Jill SommerMarch 26, 2012Opera Night 2x a month (Mondays). Many waiters are trained opera singers or students at CIM. Admission for prix fixe menu is $30 (pasta) or $40 (pasta plus chicken breast). Reservations are requested.- Ron LandrusOctober 10, 2015Sauté calamari is amazing. The broth is the best ever. Could be a meal on it's own.
David BudzikJanuary 9, 2013Great food. Need to be able to order food off their web site. If only they could find a way to make it so!!
Erin GallagherJuly 21, 2013Amazing food!!! Great restaurant! Woooorst cannoli we've ever had...wah waaaaah
Emily BlaessFebruary 18, 2013Stuffed peppers were tasty! Not too spicy either, but just spicy enough. 
Sarah SheldonMay 19, 2013Does not handle busy nights well. Going on hour number two waiting for food to come out. Most people would have dined and ditched but I was raised better.

"The cheeseburger is among top 5 burgers I've had. The beef was delicious and cooked perfectly, fontina added earthines, onion agrodolce added sweetness, and the bun held up great. Perfect fries, too."
