For the price, I expected a lot more. My friend ordered gnocchi with gorganzola and had to ask for fresh ground pepper to spice it up. She said there was just a hint of the cheese flavor. My risotto was flavorful and beautifully plated but it was aldente and dry. I expected it to be rich and creamy. I ordered a 9oz glass of zinfandel from Paso which was nice but overpriced at $20.00. The waiter had tried to up-sell to a full bottle. For lunch, really? 15 minutes or so after we had finished eating, I was offered a stained dessert menu. My friend selected a scoop of Gelato and we ordered decaf. About 5 minutes later, we got the coffee. We drank most of it until it was almost cold then the waiter dropped off the partially melted dessert. We didn't ask so we were not offered a warm up of the coffee. All in all, I will not go back there for a so so $82 lunch (before tip). Did I mention we were there from 12:45 until almost 3 with many empty tables.

food excellent, environment excellent. i am giving them 4 of 5 stars, because personally I hate when the waiters bring the check to table after coffee if i did not ask for. May if i were eating at a chillis or italianis i would accept this type of behavior. by the way, the house wine was excellent, i believe it was a sauvignon blanc

Good to very good food. A poorly trained server was annoying and detracted from our meal with 6 friends. The restaurant was better a few months ago when we dinner there. Hope they will get things fixed!

We ordered two different house specialties as well as a special appetizer. All were very good and fresh as well. Service was prompt and we were well tended. Extensive wine list too. Great experience. Maybe slightly pricey but when you consider the location then maybe not so much.

I had high expectations for Canaletto, because the menu looked authentic and pretty enticing. I ended up being underwhelmed, sadly: the place is big, as frequently restaurants are in the US (and that in my experience makes it harder to ensure a high quality), the ambiance feels a bit overloaded to me, in terms of colour and decor. Service was fast and welcoming. The food was disappointing in many ways: I tried the Oysters, that ended up being a bit small and not particularly subtle or rich in flavour. The chicken polpettine with polenta, mushrooms and gorgonzola were way too salty (I think the meatballs were the culprit) and with an excess of truffle oil making the whole dish feel unbalanced and, again, unsubtle. Finally, the casonzei con stracchino e pere were a little better, but the cheese sauce was almost surely not made with stracchino, as it was thick, dense and very heavy, making the whole dish, again unsubtle. Overall, the feeling I got was that the place is a big, industrial operation that produces an average approximation of Italian food but charges the kind of premium that would be justified for a much higher quality experience. The highlight of the dinner was the glass of wine I got served, which even though very expensive was undoubtedly great quality. 4 stars for service, 3 stars for quality, 2 stars for value for money.

Food was very good but not great. We sat in the patio because the acoustics are way too loud for intimate conversation. Maybe we just had bad luck but our waitress was overwhelmed with 10 or 12 tables so it took 30 minutes before I got a glass of wine that I was trying to order from the moment I sat down. The appetizer we ordered was delicious.

I don't think we'll be revisiting this restaurant for dinner but we will check out the happy hour $6 Pizza

My boyfriend and I spent our Sunday evening there for my birthday. All in all we both really enjoyed our visit and will be absolutely coming back. The food was amazing and the service was even better. The hoist never let our beverages go empty and the waiter Luis was absolutely phenomenal. His sense of humor, passion for the yummy tasting food, and contagious laugh really made our first visit here such a pleasant one. I am 100% pleased with our overall experience. 6 stars if I could!!!
