Took a couple clients to Cardinale before the hockey game December 10. Server was great. Sat in the NW corner and that location is good. There were 4 of us. Ordered Focaccia bread and there were 2 pieces. Had to cut them. Should have been cut into 4 or be four pieces. 2 meals we had were good. 2 guests ordered Lasagna, which could have been better. The bottom pasta layer was overcooked and could barely cut through it. Not worth the $40 dollars per plate. To be honest, it was a little pricey for the quantity and quality of the food.

The food was very good. The Romaine Insalata and Foccacia bread were especially notable. Our waiter was excellent, friendly and attentive without being in your face.

The only cons would be that restaurant is fairly noisy and the decor is rather Spartan and not very cozy. Also, parking is expensive in the adjacent Casino parking lot.

I feel badly that I don't remember our server's name because I would love to recognize her directly. We had a really lovely evening celebrating a dear friend's birthday and our server was attentive while also leaving us to enjoy conversation. Her recommendations for wine and food were all spot-on and delicious. Thank you to our server - you are a gem!

This is a regular spot for us. It's consistently good. THE SERVICE is excellent. The people are friendly. Really the only downfall for old people is it's very loud. We've gone early thinking it wouldn't be as bad, but it was crazy that night. That's out of their control. But I'm not sure what they could do to combat the overall loud din. But it's not enough that it would deter me from continuing to visit Rochelle as usual our server is fantastic. You should ask for her section. They're all good by the way. Cheers
