The food here is very good. We started out with the spread sampler - roasted eggplant with garlic, parsley & extra virgin olive oil, spicy whipped feta cheese with roasted red peppers, garlic & Potato puree with extra virgin olive oil & citrus and greek Yogurt With Garlic, cucumber & extra virgin olive oil. All four spreads were delicious. We split two small plate dishes; slow cooked Lamb Spare ribs, herbs & lamb jus served with tzatziki and fresh spinach with Imported Feta & dill wrapped in baked crispy filo dough. All was delicious. The service was great. The restaurant was very nice. I would definitely recommend this Greek restaurant.

My wife and I are ALWAYS looking for new places to eat where we live. There are simply not enough good restaurants around here. So, when this new Greek restaurant opened, we were eager to give it a try.We did takeout and my wife got the Branzino and I got the Souvlaki entrees. Her's was a generous portion of fish, which she really liked. Mine was very tasty too. However, it only came with one skewer that had seven small square pieces of beef. The rest of the dish was fries and cut up pita bread. It's bad enough that this wasn't enough food to satisfy me, but I had to watch my wife fill up on hers.I get that beef is expensive. But why not add another skewer or provide the option and charge more? My wife's meal cost 50% more than mine. I would have paid that same amount if it meant it would come with more beef. To me, one of the worst things is paying a lot of money for food then having to get something else to eat afterwards because it wasn't enough. Like I said, the food itself tasted great. I just wish there was more. You might too.

What a nice experience last night! Went here with my best friend after a long day of work, just starving and hoping for some decent Greek food.. ended up with a pleasant surprise exceeding any expectations! Owners/Chef & Server Mario were so welcoming & made it feel like a fine dining experience. Honestly felt transported to Europe for an hour or so. Food was delicious.. the Tzatziki sauce was other worldly & the hummus.. everything fresh & thoughtfully prepared. And the chocolate desert topped with baklava syrup & crumbs.. to die for. Thank you for a great time all around! Will be back.

Delicious seafood and a Greek fine dining experience. Indulge in fresh, perfectly cooked fish, sip on handcrafted pistachio and espresso martinis, and experience exceptional service. Pita was warm with hummus , grilled octopus and lamb ribs and the best was the grilled branzino. It is up to par with Milo’s! Fresh and perfectly prepared .A must-try for Mediterranean quality food and a delightful evening!

Tried Edesma tonight and loved it. The head waiter Mario is very nice and attentive and the owner is very nice and constantly came by to see how we liked everything. The food was delicious we started out with the veggie crisps and then my wife had Souvlaki and I had the Mousaka, it was the best Mousaka I have ever had I would have licked the bowl if I could! We then had Baklava and the sweet chocolate cake for Dessert both delicious. Delicious food, great staff and warm inviting decor we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend trying this restaurant well worth it.

If you're a fan of Greek cuisine I highly recommend giving this Greek restaurant a try. The delicious food, warm ambiance, very good service will transport you to the beautiful shores of Greece, if only for a little while.

Very very good food accommodating staff

We enjoyed a family dinner in honor of our goddaughter's birthday. The ambiance was perfect: relaxing, attentive service and great food. The menus was extensive and offered numerous selections to satisfy everyone. We wii be back at Il Cantone Cafe very soon!!!

Excellent local place for both simple pizza to nice Italian dishes like Veal Parm and Chicken Cutlet Bruschetta. Apps such as Baked Clams and Fried Calamari excellent as well.

Food is good. The customer service is PATHETIC! I’ve ordered multiple times. Constantly cannot give me the correct price always calling me back telling me it’s more $$ then they originally told me when I ordered. Delivery waits are disgustingly long. I’ve waited over an hour and a half twice and up to two hours another time. The women on the phone shouldn’t be in customer service she’s nasty and has not a clue what she’s doing. The food is good so credit to the chef working there but overpriced. I ordered an entree and calzone and it was north of $50!! They need to do better. For 50$ I can go to king Umbertos or prince Umbertos and be treated respectfully and eat just as good quality food.

Some of the best soups in the area, made fresh per order and can't be beat. Although I'm card restricted, pizza look fine and service is very good and people here are friendly.
