We had a great lunch with excellent service! Always a pleasure coming here. My only complaint is that they tell you that you get 20% off by showing your receipt at the bakery, however I bought pignoli cookies and they said no discount on those. Why is that?

Calandras was able to accommodate a last minute reservation for 6 and everything was great from food, drinks to service. We sat on the outside patio and it was a perfect evening for our group.

We had a sangria, a mimosa and a bullet 95. All excellent! In fact I had another sangria with dinner because it was so light and refreshing.
My daughter loves arancini and theirs was perfection. The right amount...
