   Small cute environment, quite loud. Staff seemed too busy too really notice you. The food was nothing special for the price, very underwhelming. Especially the lasagna. There was more sauce than anything else and noodles were crunchy (not just Al dente). We heard the table next to us share feedback about the lasagna as well. The crudo appetizer was actually quite nice. Trying this spot once was enough.

   Excellent as always. Our meals were very good and server and staff were so accommodating of our friend’s life threatening food allergies. So appreciated.

   Very good service and food! I was a little upset as in my notes I said it was my partners birthday but nothing was mentioned but overall the service was great and our food was amazing.

    After reading several reviews we decided to try Cardinale. The service was excellent. All staff very incredibly attentive and congenial. Unfortunately our food was all really one note. We started with the Calamari which was cooked perfectly however the fryer oil was dirty and left an unappetizing bitterness on our palettes. My daughter ordered the Buccatini which she loved, though it was missing some acid to cut the richness. I ordered the Veal Saltimbocca The sauce was delicious, the veal far too chewy and fatty. The best part of the dish was the Swiss Chard. It was so loud we couldn’t hear each other so visit really, and for these special occasions when we can treat ourselves it was quite disappointing. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever go back.
