The food was very authentic; the service was superb; the atmosphere was above average. In my opinion, this is a neighborhood hidden gem.

Disappointed for sure! The server was extra rude! And my children was really bad. In the past, we had come to the restaurant and the service was great. The food was wonderful, but definitely a different experience this time. Disappointed we brought our parents there!

My friend and I came here to celebrate my new job and it’s excellent! She told me when I chose this restaurant that she’s Italian so she’s going to be hard to impress but Calabria did it! She too loved the food. Service was excellent and our server was cracking jokes the whole time. Excellent experience!

They really have nailed the small European style dining experience and their food is simply amazing! Their wine list is reasonable & full of great choices for pairing with their meals. We love going there.

I'm concerned by a few things, but, I don't want this to be a slam of this restaurant that bills itself as "Calabrian". This really is an attempt to help this business succeed. There's nothing on the menu that is actually Calabrese. Even the preface to their menu mentions Tuscany and Sicily, but never explains what makes Calabrian cuisine unique. it doesn't even use the word "Calabria". In Calabria, pork is king. Not beef, nor veal (which are all over the menu). There are zero dishes featuring this Calabrian staple. There's a Bolognese sauce for a pasta dish which is traditional to...wait for it...Bologna, not Calabria. The Fettucini Alfredo is a traditional dish in...wait for it...America, not even Italy, let alone Calabria. That dish uses Parmigiano, a cheese rarely, if ever, used in Calabria. Pecorino, a sheep milk cheese, rules the landscape My larger point is that if are looking for fare that truly represents the Region of Calabria, this isn't the ristorante for you. But, if you want standardized Italian-American food (think spaghetti and meatballs) then you're in luck. I've eaten there once and wanted to jog my memory as to why I never returned. It all came rushing back to me when I looked up the current menu. If they didn't use "Calabria" as a name, my expectations would have been significantly lower. Again, I'd love this place to succeed...but, by being truer to its namesake and not by giving Americans a distorted, untruthful view of traditional Calabrian cuisine.

I'm not sure why we haven't checked out this restaurant in the past. It's so close to our neighborhood. I'm glad that we made reservations as the restaurant is smaller in size and they were busy for a Thursday night. They only had one server, but he was a funny man! Out of everything we ordered, the calamari was a surprise delight as well as the creamy bolognese. Those two dishes were robust in flavor and outstanding! The others seemed ordinary in comparison. Hot tip! Thursday nights are half off some wine bottles!!

The food was good and filling.The service was slow, we sat with empty glasses of water for a while. There were also people waiting about 10 minutes to be seated when there were tables available and just not cleared yet.The restaurant was cozy and we could only hear the conversation of the people right next to us. However, there was a male waiter that was EXTREMELY loud and his voice carried all over the restaurant.

I went to Calabria's Italian Restaurant last evening to celebrate my birthday and my friends birthday!! Our waiter (who I forgot his name, sorry) was amazing and the special which we both got, steak gorgonzola with mushrooms and potatoes and veggies was out of this world!! I highly recommend this place for any reason you need to go out for dinner!!
