Chicken Parm is a…read morecomforting pie, buffalo chicken is a fun Friday night, and the meaty Italian are all so tasty, but you can't go wrong with a basic Mozarella or Margarita pie. Call ahead and pickup was prompt, making this a favorite takeout in our house. Dining in? Come hungry as the pasta dishes and wine are amazing. The takeout staff are friendly enough, and the wait staff take care of you. The classic yet cozy dining room had table linens, always a nice touch. We managed to leave a little room for dessert, which we'll just have to come back for with drinks another time. Portofino's might not be 100% New Haven-style charred crust pie, but has great pizza and comfort food all the same.

Growing up in Jersey, Italian food is apart of our 5 main food groups. It hasn't been easy finding an Italian restaurant that reminds me of home, but Cafe Fiore hits it out of the park. I ordered the Sole Française and had more than enough for leftovers the following day! They also make a mean espresso martini, the espresso tastes so fresh! Excited to dine here again.

Today was my first dining experience at Cantina Cafe in Middletown. Never knew of this restaurant…read moreup Until this weekend! Such a cute place! Felt like you were dining at your Italian families. It's in the basement and loved how it was decorated! When you see the Sopranos.. you already know! We had a family party , therefore it was a family style dinner, ( hard to get pictures). But, many dishes were ordered and passed such as Salad, fresh bread, Antipasto, pasta, calamari, Broccoli Rabe, eggplant parm, Chicken Parm, fish, potatoes! I might be missing something! But service was great , portions were huge. Everyone appeared to have been satisfied with their food. There's really no gluten free options labeled on the menu but they do have gluten pasta, and other options they can suggest as such as fish or chicken. I ordered a separate the Gemelli Cantina GF pasta dish (Chicken, spinach, sautéed with fresh garlic and olive oil). Very tasty! And all portions were huge! Restaurant does have a small lot in the back but fills up fast. Street parking or the public lot is the closest.

Down the stairs and through the door into the dark cavern of a cave in Italy. I swear, we traveled back in time. Checkered tablecloths and dim lighting created ambiance. Food is served "family style" here. That means that one entry will serve 3 people. We over ordered, of course. But the leftovers tasted just as good the next day. Authentic and delicious. See if you can find this hidden gem.

Prices were reasonable, ambiance was upscale and the service excellent. Did I mention the food? I hate to admit this, but it's than my Nonnas.

Came here specifically for happy hour... The food was okay. I would only order 1 dish again. We…read moreordered four apps from the happy hour menu... 1. Fried mozz... the flavor of the cheese was good but the pieces were over fried so it was kinda hard and tasted somewhat burnt 2. Risotto balls... those were great, just needed a lil more sauce. I would definitely order this again. 3. Spicy Calamari... There was an unpleasant odor as soon as they came out. Tasted the actual Calamari and it was delicious but the dish was ruined with all the crap that was added. The yucky slaw and the sauce/ drizzle were unnecessary and made the dish inedible. Wish they left it off or put it in the side so we could have enjoyed the Calamari itself. 4. Sweet Potato Ravioli... the actual ravioli was good. Loved the filling. But this dish was ruined by a flavorless sauce. It tasted like cream mixed with butter. That sauce should be left off. Im sure the server already knew we didnt really enjoy it bcuz he didnt even question why food was left and we didnt want to take any of it to go... Really planned to order more from the happy hour menu but after those last 2 disappointing apps, I changed my mind...

They answered every question and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. The food was DELICIOUS. Every dish we ordered, from dinner through dessert was amazing We ended up sitting, talking, and enjoying each other's company for about two hours. We will definitely be back.
