    Everything was delicious, and our servers were excellent. We had one particular server who was sensitive to my gluten allergy and was able to make excellent suggestions to accommodate my dietary restrictions.

    Fabulous food and overall service. The wait staff is clearly still learning but made up for it with attention and great attitude. Food was spectacular overall. The gnocchi, angnolotti and brodetto were superb. The mussels were fabulous and so was the Salumi plate.

    Always fun to go to the CIA. The food is very unique and well prepared. The service is excellent and any stumbles are expected since these are students practicing and learning their trade. Everyone you meet in the restaurants and on campus are extremely friendly, helpful and professional.

    It is great to experience beverages and food that take risks. From the cocktails to the food, the dessert, and the coffee, everything was delicious and nearly impeccable, complemented by attentive, professional service.
