Sandra and Rosie always take the time to make sure their customers are well fed and happy. Besides the food being exceptional, the way they treat everyone as family makes coming here that much more enjoyable. They always go above and beyond every single time I come here. Outstanding restaurant.

Had a take out order recently that was beyond expectation. The Chicken Sorrento Dinner to go was both delicious and a great value. Four large helpings of chicken, pasta, fresh bread and salad for $40! What a bargain! The folks were wonderful and the food was as well. Highly recommend.

Very disappointing. Have been coming here for years however the service has drastically deteriorated with new operators. We were a party of five and the first ones in the restaurant. We sat at our table for 15+ minutes before a waitperson came over to take our drink orders. Drinks arrived within a reasonable time at which point we placed an appetizer order. Appetizers did not arrive for 30 minutes. We had to ask for our bread during this wait period since none was previously provided. Other customers had arrived during this period and were promptly provided bread so we asked for some. The wait person was snotty and said it was on the way. When apps arrived our dinner orders were taken. Others who arrived well after us had already placed their dinner orders s as s served. We then waited 45 minutes for our dinners during which diners that arrived 30 + minutes after us finished their dinners and left. Had to ask at least twice for drink refills since they never came. Food was fine but was not really enjoyable due to the poor service. Always enjoyed Cafe Calabria but will not be going back.

The service was great. The food was excellent, and my kids enjoyed their home maid pasta sauce. Their sauce is also available for purchase. We bought one because of how good their sauce was. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and on top of the service. Will come back and definitely recommend this place for a date night or a family dinner.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Café Calabria in October. We rented out the upstairs room and had Sandra as our server. Everything was amazing. The food was great, the service was great, and the room was cozy. We had 36 people, and chose to do chicken parmesan and eggplant parmesan, with salad, rolls and pasta. We had bruschetta as our appetizer and chocolate mousse cake as our dessert. We got so many compliments on the food and venue choice. Sandra was kind, quick, helpful, and patient. She worked hard to make sure every single guest was taken care of. Danielle and Mike helped us plan our event and made sure that we had everything we needed when we came in for our event. Not only is it a restaurant with great food, but also great people and service. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

This was my first timing dining at Cafe Calabria. I ordered bruschetta, chicken parmigiana, and chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. Everything was made from scratch and was delicious! I will definitely return.

Welcoming and friendly from the start. Attentive and timely service. Our food was tasty and seasoned well. Their pasta sauces are full bodied and yet don’t feel heavy. Small but nice selection of wines and they make a mean cosmo . Good food, good value and zero pretentiousness made our experience worth it. Can’t wait to go back
