We ordered the Gigi salad which was flavorful and refreshing. The pizza was even better. I love thin crust. It bakes quickly too. The chicken Rossini was the opposite. The sauce was quite bland.

I watched him wrongfully served our dinner to two tables before I flagged him down.

I don't know what kind of scam Antico Arturo and La Pastaria are running here, but it feels dirty…read more You order online from a place called Antico Arturo, which has a real restaurant in Red Bank I guess, and you end up getting food from La Pastaria, which is well known around the Summit for area for being #bad I suppose that's why La Pastaria sells under the other name, but 1) it's a lie and 2) it's confusing. I ordered pickup and drove around the street a few times looking for "Antico Arturo" and didn't see it. I wasted 15 minutes of my life looking for it, calling the place in Red Bank to see if my order was being made down there, then going back and walking into La Pastaria to ask if they sell under the name Antico Arturo. (It's not like there's anything on the sign of door or windows indicating if you ordered Antico Arturo that you've come to the right place.) The lady told me yes. I asked if they were changing the name of the store. She told me no. I asked why they sell under the other name. "We just do." Oh, cool. Anyway the food is edible but not much more than that. Pizza tasted fairly close to high school pizza. It is nothing like the picture you see on the Antico Arturo website. I guess that's the one you get in Red Bank. Also they charge $21 for it and this pizza was like a small personal pizza size, maybe 12 inches. The picture online looks like a big nice pizza. It's completely false advertising. I don't know how this place gets away with it.

Located in Summit, NJ. Ordered via DoorDash. Delivered with ease. Chicken Parmesan Panini…read more Good Focaccia; fresh. Chicken; seasoned well. Sauce too. Chicken:Bread ratio is definitely off. There was a significant amount of bread "hangage" because of the small size of the cutlet. I asked for extra sauce on the side, which I didn't get, but that wasn't a big deal because the chicken was cooked perfectly and not dry. Though it would've been nice to have the sauce to dip the extra bread in. Pasta salad is great! The veggies are still Al dente and the vinaigrette that it's tossed in is lovely. I'll be back. *Pasta salad could have been packaged separately.

It was a very lively place to be and the server was such a delight. We had a sangria, a mimosa and a bullet 95. All excellent! In fact I had another sangria with dinner because it was so light and refreshing. My daughter loves arancini and theirs was perfection. The right amount of crunch on the outside with the tastiest sauce. She remembered a fancy grilled cheese that her dad made when she was younger. He told her it was mozzarella en carozza and ordered it for us to share. Omg, it was amazing. Grilled cheese for adults! I was getting kinda full from the drinks, appetizers and the most incredible bread (our server sent a loaf home with us-their ovens truly make a difference) so I ordered a side of Mama E's meatballs and risotto. Both were so very good and a couple of meals for me. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his sole oreganata. The right amount of seasonings and the sole was cooked perfectly. It was delicate and flakey as it should be. My daughter picked the tortellini Alfredo and loved it very much. We were too full for desert but the server was super nice and brought a scoop of ice cream over a brownie and sang to my daughter. All in all it was an excellent meal, the service was amazing and the restaurant was everything we wanted it to be to celebrate a Milestone birthday. Weather permitting, you can opt to eat outside, inside or by the bar area if you want a more lively evening.

It comes with fresh cheese. Olive oil, red pepper, salt, and pepper are at the table. We ordered an eggplant rollatini appetizer which was three good size rollatinis, plenty for two people, even maybe 3-4. For entrees, we ordered short ribs and a salmon filet stuffed with crabmeat. The waiter asked how I wanted the salmon which I thought was odd for a stuffed filet. The entrees were both good, the short ribs were nicely done and seasoned. The kitchen or waiter made a mistake and brought me a piece of salmon, not the stuffed one I ordered. It was thick so I thought maybe it was stuffed but seared closed. As I cut in, I saw it was plain salmon. It was OK but very dry and not what I ordered. I cut into the middle, thinking maybe it was just stuffed in the center. Nope. I also then realized the side veggies were not what was on the menu (because they brought the wrong dish). I let the waiter know and he apologized. Mistakes happen and I was not going to insist on a new dish when I had eaten about 1/3 of this one. They did bring over a small cup of shredded crab meat and a sauce. Again, mistakes happen but what irked me was they didn't even adjust the price, charging me higher price for what I ordered, not the lower priced dish they served. I was not looking for a free meal or even a free dessert, but you don't correct the price on what you served??? Again, staff was all nice, but this is my second time there and second eh experience. Calandra does have a nice restaurant up the road, Med Grille, and that is always top notch.
