Another great dinner! They had the Bronco game on and we were able to watch them win the game in the 4th quarter after 0 points in the first 3 quarters. It was icing on the cake for my husband who was celebrating his 70th birthday at his favorite Italian restaurant! Our server, Cindy, was wonderful!

My wife uses a walker. When we come, everyone is so helpful getting her to the waiting area and when she is seated, it takes a big load off for me. Also, the food is great.

Being of Italian heritage, I have eaten Italian food around the world — including in Italy. After hearing rave reviews of Cranelli's from friends I thought it would be worth a try. I was very disappointed... To start with, the restaurant location isn't that great - parking on site is almost nonexistent and my wife is disabled, so we weren't about to park at the credit union parking lot as recommended. Also, I'm glad she wasn't in a wheelchair as the only ramp into the restaurant was blocked by tables. Our waiter started off the evening just fine, but after he took our order he disappeared. He was a little on the surly side, as was the other server who helped out. Yeah, you're in a busy restaurant, but does that mean you have to act rushed and put out to help customers? Also, the servers and bus people removed dishes we were still working on without asking if we were finished with the food. My wife ordered Olio é Aglio, I got the Bolognese. A proper Olio é Aglio isn't drowning in olive oil, rather it should be lightly sprinkled. This was really drowning. My Bolognese was a joke. A proper Bolognese is served with either Pappardelle or another larger, rough textured pasta; this was made with run of the mill spaghetti noodles. Bolognese is usually a nice, complex ragu with incredible flavors, this tasted like ground beef and bacon — which it was. C'mon, if you're going to advertise it as a Bolognese, use pork, quality beef that is then ground, perhaps even some veal, and then don't use bacon — where the heck was your pancetta? The tomato in the sauce didn't even taste right — I think these were run of the mill canned tomatoes. The “highlights” were the wine — a nice Sicilian Nero D'avola — and the one overpriced cannoli for dessert. Two people - almost $140. We will not be back.

The food is always consistently good. The wait staff has always been great. We know when we go to Cranelli's it will be a great experience.

If you haven't tried the Italian cookies, you are missing out. They are light and very tasty. Next time you are here, order the cookies!

I can’t say enough good things about cranellis food and the staff and the owner Lasinda! They are truly a family owned restaurant who prides themselves on good food and AMAZING service! I love coming here to eat! We even got to watch an engagement happen last night the whole restaurant was cheering and clapping for the newly engaged couple! 10/10 would recommend for the food, service and the amazing atmosphere! 🩷

Lobster ravioli is a must. All waiters are very polite and professional.

There were at least 6 staffers wondering the room, yet no one wanted to serve our table. Finally one guy who looked at our table and walked away, changed his mind, turned around, and came to ask if we'd been helped. He then made it clear that he would not be our server. We ended up with three different people serving our table. None of which were particularly attentive.

I ordered the ½ order of chicken parmeasean for $16! Yes, $16 for a thin half breat of chicken, over spaghetti and marinara. Nothing special. The full order was $26!!! My husband order the lasagna which was average at best. It too was pricey. Skip this joint, drive over to Maggiano's for great food , atmosphere, and wait staff.

We were in town for work and found this local spot. They have event rooms, catering, and a full restaurant.

We ordered appetizers and entrees from their soecial/seasonal menu and weren't disappointed.

They also gave us a free order of fresh garlic knots for our first time dining.

Our server was lovely!

This was the best restaurant, overall, we have had the experience of dining at. From the wonderful staff who had nothing but smiles and helpful attitudes to the WONDERFUL owner who made us feel at home. The only thing missing was Nana!! Definitely recommend for great food, wonderful staff, and no attitudes only warm welcomes.
