   LOVE! The food is epic! Everything we had was incredible, and the ravioli in pink sauce melts in your mouth! I love the owners, they are so hospitable, and all the staff are so kind too. They make it such a beautiful experience. This is definitely my favorite restaurant! Until next time, I will be dreaming of their ravioli! Grazie mille!

   Food was fabulous! Service was a little slow but they were friendly so I could live with it. Will definitely go back. The NY steak alone is phenomenal! But the desserts were chefs kiss.

   Everything was great, but the noise level was too high.

   I usually don’t write reviews but had to write one for Casare’s. Every time we’ve been it’s been such an incredible experience. The owners always greet us with a warm welcome. The entire staff is friendly and personable. Service- top notch. They take pride in the details and it shows. Every dish is decadent and reveals the love of true Italian cuisine. We’ve gone for date night and with our 4 year old. Always having the best time.

   Cesare is such a great restaurant for catching up with friends over an incredible meal. The ingredients are fresh, the menu is authentic, and I love how friendly the staff is! High recommend to go here for a great Italian meal - the homemade pastas are perfection.

   We had an absolutely phenomenal experience at Cesare Ristorante! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere sweeps you away—warm, inviting, and elegant, with just the right touch of rustic charm. It’s the kind of place where you feel both relaxed and special, perfect for a night out or a cozy dinner. The pasta selection is out of this world. Every dish we tried was perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and made with such care—honestly, some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The veal parmigiana was another standout: tender, beautifully breaded, and smothered in a rich, savory sauce that left me wanting more. Ps it's not on the menu but you can ask for it! But the real star of the show? The pinse. I’m calling it the best “pizza” I’ve ever tasted—light, crispy, and loaded with toppings that somehow strike the perfect balance. It’s not traditional pizza, but it’s an absolute game-changer. Cesare Ristorante has won us over, and we can’t wait to come back!

   Ambience was nice but they were severely unprepared. It was a set menu and took over 2 and a half hours from start to finish. The dishes were nothing out of this world and many tables were waiting for a very long time in between courses. The servers were fantastic so this leads me to believe there were issues in the kitchen. I wouldn’t recommend it

    Food was not good. Spaghetti Bolognese has zero zest of flavor. Veal porcini was poor quality. Meat tasted funny. Sauce flavorless. Branzino Livornese was good but wasn't even livornese. No olives. No capers. So why not just tell us it's fish covered in marinara?
