Sadly they are closed Mondays,so enjoy any of the other days! Again the wait staff in fantastic and so are the chefs!!!!!

We are not often in Middletown, but we will definitely be back. This is a great place to stop, and I 10000% recommend it. Of course, I had the gluten-free veggie pizza, and I added pineapple because I am a pineapple-on-pizza person. Sue me, I am an islander. My partner had the shrimp pizza, not gluten-free, and ordered a medium. The size was honestly obscene for a medium. He kept asking to drive back down there every day after because he wanted it again. Definitely returning.

Our neighbor raves about Mondo, so we thought it was high time we paid a visit…read more Mondo is fairly easy to find; our only error was accidentally pulling into the wrong parking lot. They do offer a free lot in the back, but judging by all the cars, Mondo is very popular on a Friday evening. Sure enough, there was a big line of people picking up orders, but we walked right in and were seated immediately. We started off with a beet salad, which was surprisingly delicious, combining candied walnuts and sweet orange and green apple slices with salty feta and tangy balsamic over a mountain of mixed greens. We then moved on to paninis, generous portions of meat and toppings on freshly baked, crispy bread. One of us chose more mixed greens tossed with dressing while the other chose crunchy French fries. We also ordered a third panini to go, the Mondo combo. We asked for fries; the kitchen accidentally gave us a salad. Our server, Heather N., saved the day by noticing the error and giving us both side orders. Mondo is family friendly, and there were plenty of children during our visit. As such, the volume was a tad loud and boisterous, but nothing obnoxious that would prevent us from returning.

I had high hopes for Stella Doro. After missing the chance to visit the day before. We went for…read morelunch and, while I expected a lively, bustling atmosphere, it was actually quite quiet during our visit. That didn't bother me--it gave me the chance to really take in the space. As a pescatarian, I was pleasantly surprised to have a few appealing options to choose from. I ended up ordering the sole Florentino, which was lemony and delicious, served with a side of pasta. The fish was cooked perfectly, though the pasta could have used a little something extra to elevate it. My husband ordered the scallop and shrimp fra diavolo. He enjoyed it and it satisfied what he was looking for. I can't forget to mention the bread--it was a standout. A large, toasted, crusty loaf that was a treat all on its own. The only downside to our visit were awkward moments when someone we believe was a manager was on speakerphone, seemingly arguing with a staff member. It was a bit distracting and took away from the otherwise pleasant experience. Overall, it was a good experience with some highlights, and I'd be open to giving it another try. Pricing was what I expected, not too expensive and good portion size.

A complimentary small dish of olives and a small bowl of buttery garlic bread were delicious! Had a late lunch so I wasn't too hungry. Ordered the arugula salad with the added protein of chicken.

Everything on the menu looks pretty good so I'll have to come back and try other dishes when I'm back in the area.

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.

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.
