During our recent dinner at this restaurant, the pricing seemed to be on its own culinary adventure. The calamari appetizer left us wanting a bit more, while my wife’s Shrimp Bianca seemed to feature more pasta than shrimp.

Absolutely check this place out! Have gone back again & again. Service is 10/10, atmosphere is gorgeously inviting, and the food is … the best food I’ve had all year!! Pizza is amazing, to start. The dishes we have just keep getting better with each visit. Not to mention the drinks, my fave is the frozen peach bellini, yummy! You will not regret visiting this lovely establishment.

Liam was the best waiter! He was so attentive to us. The red snapper was the best snapper I have ever had. The parmesan risotto was delicious . My husband’s linguini and meatballs were great, too. This restaurant deserves more than 10 stars

We decided to share a pizza since we we’re celebrating my son’s birthday and that’s his favorite. The pizza was rather large and can feed about 4 people. You can order your pizza with whatever toppings you’d like, which is always great for picky eaters, however I wouldn’t necessarily say this is a kid’s restaurant. It’s like a fancy bar. It’s a little overpriced, but it was nice and I get it, this location is in an expensive neighborhood, I can imagine they have to charge quite a bit in order to see any profit. I had the Greek salad and it was fresh and a good portion for a side salad. We also did have dessert which was so rich and warm.

Candelari’s does pizza right! The entire menu is nice, but the pizza crust is top flight in my opinion! If you’re a fan of a great pizza crust, stop in at Candelari’s!

I always appreciate when a place offers GF options but the pizza was truly difficult to eat. There was zero sauce and the bread and cheese were burnt. My husband got a normal pizza and was also very displeased. Disappointed and won’t be back 🙁

This is one of the FEW RESTAURANTS I enjoy visiting. The food is consistently good and we prefer to have Alex wait on us. He cares about his tables and cares about your experience. It is so rare to find a consistent server. Candelari’s is one of the few places in town which makes a good deep dish pizza. Some of the times we ordered it the center was not hot yet they have worked to improve this problem. My son likes the Pasta Primavera. It comes with a piece of fried eggplant that I enjoy even though my son does not. They have outdoor seating when it get cooler I want to enjoy. This is also a great place to watch a game as they have TVs playing. They don’t have the sound on to detract from the atmosphere yet are there to watch.
