    I used to love Comensolis when they made their own pasta. I will not be returning unless they bring that back. They also tried seating us next to the front door, then when we asked for another table we got seated outside next to the other door where the server continued going through constantly. The martinis were too salty and the olives were tough. The chicken Parmesan came with the smallest amount of spaghetti and the tortellini tasted like the Bertoli we buy from Meijer. For dessert, the piece of cake we ordered to go was the smallest sliver of cake for $6. The icing on the cake was the homeless man passed out in front of the electrical box out by the entrance. Unfortunately, we have had better experiences at chain Italian restaurants.

    We both ordered the chicken parm for dinner. Instead of chicken cutlets or pounded chicken breasts we received full thickness chicken breast. The meat was tough but the flavor was good.

    Absolutely fantastic food and small dining area can make the dinner feel more romantic or more relaxing depending on what you need and want! I highly recommend the Tuxedo Bomb dessert; I almost asked for a second one to take home, ha ha ha ha!!

    Celebrated a Family Birthday at Comensol's and was very pleased that with the different ages of people at our table everyone found items on the menu to enjoy from drinks, entrees, appetizers to desserts. Loved the decor and the atmosphere. Our Server was awesome! We are looking forward to coming in again!

    I love going to this restaurant as the food is delicious - shrimp scampi as well as spaghetti and meatballs. They provide generous portions at a great price so you have two meals in one. The garlic bread with cheese and marinara sauce is amazing!

    I generally do not write a negative review; however, this restaurant was a disappointment on many levels. Despite the fact that there were few patrons, the wait times for service were long; we were not asked if we wanted beverages after initially asking for water; other tables were provided with bread and olive oil, but none was offered; my Ceasar salad was delivered to the table after our piping hot entrees. The veal parmesan was overcooked and very tough, likely the result of it being approximately 1/2" thick and not pounded out as is common. When the bill finally arrived, we were charged for two salads instead of one and the server acted like it was no big deal. Overall, it appears that this restaurant has lost its way and Ownership needs to determine if they really want to stay in the business. As I was an out-of-town guest, it is unlikely that I will return to this restaurant again.

    Very small restaurant. Food was excellent. I was so happy to find an Italian restaurant that had cheese lasagna without meat. Bread was fantastic. Wish a small salad came with the entree's or you could order a family salad. The cudighi sausage was really good. The first two bites really confused the taste buds but the third bite left you wanting more. Will definitely be back.
