We were gifted a certificate from a poor experience at Cisco’s and used it at Candela. We were so impressed with the food and the service was incredible. It was a busy Friday night but we had a wonderful experience and have already returned with my parents for lunch.

Highly recommend! Don't wait for a special occasion - perfect for that or any night. Looking forward to coming back soon. Food and atmosphere was 5 star. We love all of the Servewell restaurants but this is our new favorite

My wife and I recently had dinner at Candela Cucina Restaurant for our anniversary and requested Ray as our server. From start to finish Ray made our celebration awesome. We started our dinner with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the occasion and Ray had great suggestions for entrees. He is definitely “the secret ingredient that makes Candela truly special”. The next time we go for dinner we will definitely request Ray again.

Awful service! Not once a waited came to my table after the food was served! I reached out to a Reidy individual and they too ignored me! This shows how much they care about their patrons!

Everything was fine but the burrata omelet was a bit runny is I didn't eat it. The wait staff could have been a little quicker to replenish a few of the dishes so that the food would be hot and contain all the tasty elements - especially the two pasta dishes.
We had a great time at our Valentine's/Birthday dinner on Valentine's Day. Food was excellent as always, and their specials were quite unique for the holiday. They made it extra special for us, and I'm so glad we chose Candela to celebrate.

Great all around. The atmosphere is so nice the drinks the food the service all stellar. I have to go back to try the Bolognese.
Linda
The service and food were exemplary. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The seating was a little uncomfortable but we will go back again.

This was our third meal at Candela Cucina, each one a good experience. This was a very busy night for the restaurant, and the staff did an excellent job accommodating us. The service was a bit slow, again because of the crowd. Our server, however, was just great. I had the salmon salad, and my husband had the sole. Both excellent, and enough for a second meal at home.

It's not a good idea sitting near the door when it's 20 degrees out. Every time door opens that cold breeze comes through. Salmon was ordered medium but was more well done.
