Delicious Italian dishes in a beautiful setting. We went on a Tuesday which happened to be pasta night, with pasta flights for $25 and all pasta dishes half price. What a deal! Calamari appetizer was perfect too. A new favorite!

Calandras has been a staple in my family since before I was born. My grandparents lived in Newark and would go to the bakery for the bread and my papa would always bring home cupcakes for us. I discovered they opened restaurants and other locations a few years ago, after I had left NJ and then came back many years later. It is by far, the best restaurant ever. I'm obsessed with this place. The desserts are delicious. I only wish they had one in central NJ/eastern PA because it's hard for me to get up there, except when visiting my family up north.

Local gem - always have great service and the food is delicious. They rotate specials and have great happy hour deals in the bar section, which we enjoyed. Highly recommend!!

Staff very friendly and makes you feel at home. Food tastes like home made and delicious. Portion sizes for some items could be larger in serving.

It's always a wonderful experience coming here. The restaurant is absolutely stunning with soaring ceilings. You're transported to another place in time when you dine here. It's an Italian restaurant so expect all of the classic Italian dishes and some fun additions. The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. It never disappoints.

Casual chic environment; food was great; a bit loud but could easily hear the conversation at our table for 3.

Their holiday buffets are excellent. Nice selections to choose from. The food is delicious and the servers/hostess go above and beyond which is greatly appreciated coming from a restaurant background myself, where everyone is a critic! They do an outstanding job.

We love Calandra's Village and eat there often. Easter brunch had a beautiful ambiance great selection on the buffet unfortunately the hot buffet was cold and replacing the trays was slow. The beef was a roast not a prime rib. We also went there on Thanksgiving, and it was a whole different experience.

EVERYTHING was outstanding from the moment we entered the door until we left. The staff was cordial and professional. The food was delicious beyond description. Wonderful meal.
Our first time at Calandras. The food was very good. Usually I would try one of their standard italian dishes but they had a special on the menu that peaked my interest. I had the chicken rollotini stuffed with fontina cheese, spinach and dates. It was very good. My wife had the filet of sole and she loved it. It was a quiet saturday night, not too many people in the restaurant but overall the experience was nice. Definitely will go again!

Opentable Diner
Food was great. Only thing I didn't like was how the bill comes. We were a group of 6 and gratuity was included. When I got the check back to sign, it had their total amount, which included tip. A line for me to add a tip, and the total. This should say “additional tip” since it was already included. I almost tipped again without realizing it. Very sneaky. I bet people tip there and end up tipping 40% between the two.
