    We both had the beef shank lasagna and really enjoyed it. We shared the burrata. One of us had the panna cotta while the other had a HUGE scoop of the strawberry sorbetto - both were exquisite. We both thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

    This was my son’s first experience at Cardinale and he loved everything about it. Our server was extra kind and recommended the best options for us to both share. Must haves : the calamari, the bucatini and the pana cotta !!
