    Service was good. Food was not bad, but it lacked flavor. Never had Caesar dressing on a salad and tasted absolutely nothing. Ravioli special tasted like it was the ravioli you buy in the cold section at a supermarket. For the cost, I was expecting more. If the food comes out 10 mins after ordering it, appetizers and entree’s, it’s not going to be great. Mid is what the younger generations say.

    I don't come here enough! The food was exceptional, and the specials list is always kept fresh! The wine list has something for everyone, even the most discerning oenophile! Formal setting is great for dates or business meeting, and service is always above part! Great experience all around!

    The man at the next table spoke extremely loudly our entire meal. Shouting is not necessary at an intimate table of six. We could barely hear each other but could hear his bombastic rants easily. Distracting and disrespectful to all. My food was awful. A special with pasta, shrimp and 2 kinds of fish was basically pasta with some lumps of dried out fish and some tiny shrimp. Very disappointing. Pasta with chicken was very bland and chicken was dry. “Medium rare” Lamb was bloody/had to be sent back. The staff was professional and accommodating. Had we not been hosting friends who had never been to CG before, we would have sent everything back.

    My husband was very happy with his meal but I thought mine was blah. Possibly the least tasty meal I’ve ever had there. Since my husband was the birthday boy, I’m happy that he enjoyed his. My meal wasn’t bad, just not really good. And that is the standard I’m accustomed to at Caffe Gelato.

    Had a great experience but it seems like they may have changed the recipe for the tortellini cuz it was super thick and almost inedible.

    Slow service and indifferent staff. We have been here before, many times, disappointed this time and will not go back. Slow service and the food quality was different - we ordered two items from the specials menu, and both lacked flavor.

    The customer service is very good. The food is EXCELLENT! Everyone at the table was happy with their meal. The best meals of the night were the veal and the Mignon. The drinks were so good I’d come back just for a few drinks with friends. Definitely a favorite spot of ours from now on.
