Open Table reservation notes are not always read or communicated by staff, nor followed through into action. I kindly request a call from the principals, owners, or top management to allow an opportunity for detailed explanation.
My boyfriend and I went to the holly jolly lounge and I was really unimpressed with our experience. Although we were sat & ordered drinks right away we didn't receive our cocktails for 30 minutes. We were there 50 minutes by the time the appetizer, one order of 3 meatballs, came out. By the hour minute mark we had devoured all of our bread & the three meatballs we were so hungry. Finally, over an hour after being ordered, someone brought the entrees. The entrees were okay, but the pizza tasted like it had been reheated cold pizza & was dry. Since reservations are only good for about an hour and a half an hour and 45 minutes we were completely rushed to eat and get out of there by the time our entrees finally arrived. We had several different servers throughout the night none of which knew what was going on with our order or the last time someone checked on it. I've been here before and I've never experienced such horrible issues. The only positive was one server named Jayson & the meatballs were good. Other than that save your money & go to any of the “Miracle” Christmas pop up events!!!
Food wasn't good and was over priced. They didn't have enough waiters available, there was a long wait wait to get our good and our drinks. Drinks were okay, but took forever to get brought to our table.
The Holly Jolly Lounge was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Food was excellent and wait staff pleasant.
First all of the Christmas decorations were great!! The food was so good, as always! Our server was so attentive and very friendly. Can't wait to go back soon!
I took my mother here for her birthday last weekend. We were waited on my Tracy. She said that was new, but she did such a great job. She was very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the food. Most importantly, my mom enjoyed her birthday dinner and sweets at the end
The food and service was great. The grilled octupus salad was delicious as was the Mahi and shrimp. Always a great meal.
Restaurant is nicely appointed to have the feel and look of an authentic italian courtyard. Food quality was good and service was great. Not my first visit there and they do not disappoint.
We are from the Boston area. Look forward to dining here when we are in town visiting a relative. Closest thing to Italy in terms of foods and the bakery is outstanding. Every time I walk into the market/bakery I say aloud “wish we had this at home”. Recommended highly!
It was my first time at La Taverna. We sat in the Bar and enjoyed Monday Happy Hour. They were short-staffed, but we didn't mind at all. We both had penne vodka. It was pretty good, not great. Best part was the check....so reasonable! I've enjoyed all the other Calandra's restaurants. I will try it again.

Everyone in our party loved their food and sitting outside in the back area was so pretty! I felt like I was back in Italy!!
We all had a very nice time with great food and service! Definitely I would recommend it if you're looking for some delicious dishes!
Terrific meal with a great variety on the menu. The service is consistently outstanding and the portions are extremely generous. We would eat here every night if we could.
Such a fun restaurant! The food was delicious and the bakery was such a nice surprise! I visited for lunch mid-afternoon on a Saturday with my husband and parents. There was a very loud baby shower also being held, but I guess that is to be expected for such a beautiful restaurant. The waiter was super attentive and we all enjoyed our entrees with plenty to take home to enjoy later! We couldn't resist some cupcakes and canolis from the bakery as well! We will certainly be back.
We always have a great experience at Calandra's. The food is always good no matter what we get. We sat outside this time. It was beautiful out and quiet, we really enjoyed it.
