3 months agoStarted out great. Free garlic knots for being new customers. The Italian poppers were wonderful. Ordered the Chicken masala and it didn’t look that great. Not much taste at all. Took two bites and stopped eating. I realize it was busy but no one came around for at least 20 minutes. Once I got the attention of a staff member, I asked for my check. When our server came back with to go containers he put them in the containers. It really surprised me that he didn’t ask if things were ok since there was not much food consumed. I’m not one for complaining. Most restaurants just think you’re looking for a free meal if you do complain . I get it. I told the people that suggested the place to me, and they said to just stick with the lasagna from now on. Maybe if it’s on a brunch menu. So many more places to explore.

5 months agoWe ordered the Arancini’s as an appetizer and it was so good! The pairing of cheese and grape sauce was to die for! The Aglio E Olio was very delicious and I highly recommend that dish. There was a wait even though we had a reservation but that could have been due to us going during peak times

5 months agoAn absolute gem! I loved the entire experience and the food was literally the best Italian I've ever had. This is my new fave for Italian for certain. If you haven't tried Cranelli's you should! The Eggplant Rollatini and Pumpkin Panna Cotta was to die for! Perfecto!!

8 months agoWent here after watching tons of reels on Instagram about this place for the pasta alla vodka. While that was great, I think the chicken genovese was excellent!! So creamy and the pesto mixed in felt super fresh. I would 100% get that. It was our first time and the server was so nice they gave us free garlic knots!

3 months agoWe dined here last night, and this Italian restaurant was outstanding across the board. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff, from the hostess to the wait team, really enhanced the experience. They were accommodating several large parties, so making a reservation is probably a good idea. Since we didn’t have one, we sat at the bar but were also offered high-top seating. The marinara sauce was a perfect 10, and the six-hour homemade lasagna was incredible. We also shared a half order of chicken piccata, which had fantastic flavor and a generous portion size. Their happy hour runs daily from 2 to 5:30 p.m., including weekends, and features great $6 appetizers and 50% off wine. We sat at the bar, and bartenders Ryan and Mel were professional, friendly, and spot-on with their recommendations. We’ll definitely be back soon and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.
