    my first time at cappella went pretty well. i came here for a work team dinner so i only was able to get a photo of my food. portions are decently sized except for my branzino, which i felt for the price i could get a whole branzino in boston instead of the small piece i got... but i digress. service was highly attentive and impressive with the memorization of our orders. now for my coworkers comments: chicken parm was good, shrimp scampi came with HUGE shrimp (!!) but felt it could have needed more sauce. vodka pasta is amazing and a highlight. bolognese had other pieces of pasta in her dish, which was fine but was confused why that was. drinks were good overall, no complaints about selection or anything of the sort. i think for as far as suburban fare goes, this is good; but considering there are many modern italian spots in the area that all just do decent food, cappella may just be a dime a dozen.

    Chicken Parmigiano $29

    Overview: Really good Italian Food Meal/Time: Dinner/Wednesday/Party of 5 Seated: immediately 446PM for a 5PM reservation Ordered: 503PM First ordered item arrived: 513PM Decor/Atmosphere: Nice classic Italian American Restaurant; high end casual Service/ Front of the House: Very nice and accomdating. Note you are not allowed to bring in outside beverages, including an iced coffee I was drinking. Service/Serving Staff: Bread and water on the table within 1 minutes of seating. Jen is friendly and personable. She checked back regularly. Food: The Brussels & Buratta $16- appetizer... charred Brussel Sprouts served with a creamy mozzarella. You get a combination of flavors, nuttiness, sweetness and a bit of bitter. A really well balanced dish. The Chicken Parmigiano $29- hearty breaded chicken served over a bed of gemelli well sauced with plum tomato sauce topped with fresh basil. My wife had the Black Truffle Wheel $26. I had a few bites of this. The pasta is brought to the table in a wheel of Parmigiano. The heat from the pasta and truffle oil melts the cheese and in turns coats the pasta. If you like cheese, truffle and freshly cracked black pepper this dish is for you. Value: Really good value to quality and quantity. We had leftovers. Restroom: Men's Room single. Clean and well stocked. Bright with plenty of room. Will I come back?: Yes, I would come back. Next time, I will order the Truffle Wheel.

    Small neighborhood place with lovely ambiance and food. We enjoyed the meatballs and the vodka pasta. Winter sangria was solid. Service was very attentive. I would definitely return. Recommend reservations.

    Best steak I've had in a long time! Cooked just right. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    Great wine list. Good service. Fun bar area. Unfortunately a bit of a limited menu especially with allergies.

    Black truffle wheel is very good. Also tried the Bronzino. Good service too. For a suburban restaurant, its a nice option

    Great food and great service in a warm and vibrant atmosphere. The truffle parm caci e Pepe is a must try. The beets were great, too.

    Practically perfect! Drinks!…read moreAppetizers! Salads (wedge especially) Steaks!!!! Sides! Sweets! And service at every stage. A first rate establishment! We will be back.

    I wanted to love this place: great location, nice vibe, date night, and the promise of a classic…read moresteakhouse nigh, but the experience missed the mark in ways that were hard to ignore. Service felt disorganized and inattentive from the start. Nothing catastrophic, just consistently waiting longer than needed and off enough to make you feel like an afterthought rather than a guest. The steaks were the biggest disappointment. We ordered them at specific temperatures, but they arrived already overdone; we ordered medium and medium rare. They were served on plates so hot they kept cooking at the table. By the time you got a few bites in, you were basically eating a different doneness than what you ordered. The Manhattan cocktail came over ice, which is...a choice. Not the one I'd expect at a place positioning itself as a steakhouse. And then there were the Brussels sprouts, which somehow included a literal piece of lobster shell. Not exactly the kind of surf-and-turf surprise anyone is looking for on a night out when they're paying for a babysitter too. All jokes aside, I was worried for someone who may have shellfish allergy. Could've been catastrophic for the restaurant. All in all, it was a beautiful night out that deserved a better meal. Instead of "black and blue" the steakhouse way, I left feeling more like "black and blue" the emotional way--just without the satisfaction.
