“Nothing is better than being welcomed like family when you walk in the door!  Seeing all the happy people visiting Cantina D'Italia on this busy Saturday evening heightens the anticipation of another great meal. This lovely establishment with it's traditional Italian decor is reminiscent of several long-standing Tuscan restaurants I visited in the past. My family feels like the Cantina D'Italia provides the best around for many of the classic Italian comfort foods as well as grande cuisine offerings which are always generous and flavorful. Tonight, the rich tomato sauce served with the traditional manicotti is a consistant winner with my mother. I crave the Cantina's eggplant Parmigiana which is so satisfying and my siblings love the assorted ravioli offerings. Do not deny yourself the grande finales of desserts, with the incredibly creamy Tiramsu!“

“Fantastic family friendly spot, our waitress Kiki was amazing. My 3 kids love their kids pizzas (they come in a Heart or Butterfly shape) and we've had nothing but great food in our two visits so far. We'll keep being repeat customers!!

Kid-friendliness: Economical kids menu, the kids pizzas are HUGE!!“

“Delicious Food, Divine Wine, Lovely Evening! We shared appetizers, desserts & wine while we visited this wonderful restaurant!“

“All of it but my favorite is the meatballs and sauce.“

“And the spaghetti with meat sauce and wedding soup was great, the service was fantastic, reasonably priced.

As they should the server checked up on us a couple times after the food was delivered.

There is one improvement I'd recommend they make, on the check there's a QR code to pay your bill at the table but it only works with an iPhone it will not work with Android, which doesn't make any sense since Android has a much larger market share than iPhone does nowadays.“

“Excellent food and the owner aims to please her customers!“

“Today Italian Gourmet was amazing getting a tray of sandwiches ready in very short time. They are the best!“

“Ida was our waitress. She was genuinely caring and sensitive to our situation of just losing a brother. She was helpful with menu items and offered hugs of comfort and care. I can’t say enough about her extra-ordinary care and attention to our large table. We all love her and will certainly be back for sure. Thank you for your prayers, love, and empathy regarding our loss. Idayou are truly a God-send this day especially. Thank you, The Eichlers and The Stewarts 7/2/2024“

I want to come back again to try the endless soup and salad. We paid and didn’t do the survey, but I would come back again and ask for Joey! (idk how many Joey’s are at this location, but he had curly dark hair) Thanks again!“

“I just loved eating here this afternoon, not only do they have delicious pizza that you leaves you feeling great, the customer service is top notch! I have not truly experienced great customer service like this since pre-covid. They also have a great gluten free pizza, cooked a served on its own tray! Homemade salad dressings and herbs growing out front! Will definitely be back!“

“I gave it 4 stars because I didn't enjoy the steak and cheese. I felt like it needs more meat with all the bread in this sub. It needs to be evenly distributed but I can't say it wasn't tasty. The pizza is good and the service is good. I didn't have any other issues.“

“Came here with friends for lunch on a weekday and we sat outside… they have a nice side alley area with umbrellas and tables to enjoy on nice days. They also offer full service out there. The menu is the typical Mediterranean menu… Gyros, salads, other items.
Service was very friendly. The food was really good. Plating needed a little help though. The Greek salad had random white onions on top which really didn’t belong there. Otherwise, the grilled chicken on top was very flavorful and amazing!

Overall, it was a nice visit… Definitely would recommend.“

“Excellent food. The owner is a great chef and the staff are very friendly. Chicken kebabs are the best.“
