    Fantastic homecooked Italian cuisine and it both looked and tasted like it. Once again, we had…read morefound ourselves passing through Westfield on a Monday night sheltered in an Airbnb looking for dinner. We discovered that many places are closed on Monday in town, but not Calarco's. We placed an order for pick-up and the service could not have been nicer. They even accepted plastic, unlike other establishments in town. Portions were huge, the rolls were warm and soft and savory, and that tomato sauce was unique, zesty, and something special. My wife had leftovers of her chicken piccata which she enjoyed; nothing was spared of my eggplant parm as I had to eat it all. Their homemade bleu cheese dressing I asked for with my side salad was so darn good. And to top everything off, we split their last slice of peanut butter pie which was truly an impressive gem. I have had many a pie or cake in fine dining restaurants, yet this particular pie was out of this world. Next time in Westfield, we will meet again, Calarco's.

We didn't have a chance to put our dinner orders in at this point. We ordered entrees right before the appetizers came out, which took a long time anyway, and then immediately after our appetizers and salads came out. We then proceeded to wait over an hour for our food with an inattentive server, no apology, and no explanation. When we asked about our food, we still didn't receive any sort of explanation as to why it was taking so long. Then once we got our entrees, the server brought our check very quickly and condescendingly told us that she knew we were in a hurry...we weren't at the beginning of the night but by that point we were - it had been 2.5 hours since we sat down. By the end of the meal, our graduate splashed a small amount of sauce on her white dress and our server very rudely told her that she shouldn't have worn white to an Italian restaurant and then proceeded to make fun of her and say she needed a bib. The food was tasty but the overall experience of dining here unfortunately means we won't be return customers. We aren't unreasonable people and our group has jobs in the service and hospitality industry, we know there is a correct way to handle these situations and being unsympathetic and apathetic isn't it.

    We were looking for dinner after a Matinee performance, following checking in, and without having…read moremade a reservation. Having spent a weekend earlier in the year in Stratford neither was I keen about some of the prices that the downtown restaurants like to charge. Pazzo Taverna and Pizzeria seemed to be the answer. At 6PM we actually were able to book a 7:30 table. The room was still busy when we arrived and there was a small crowd waiting but we were seated quickly with menus. The bill of fare is pretty much limited to salads, a couple of appetizer choices, a variety of pizzas, and a handful of pasta dishes. Still, a Marco Polo pizza (roast chicken, sun dried tomatoes, feta, & basil) for me and Spaghetti & Meatballs for my spouse suited our dining preferences. My spouse had a glass of a Spanish Red with her meal, I was satisfied with just water. We were impressed that everything on their wine list was available by the glass as well as by the bottle. Also, we got some satisfaction to see Canadian, Italian, and other countries' wines with one particular exception. (As for that, take your annexation threats and stuff it where you're storing all the Bourbon that isn't crossing the border either.) For my wife's spaghetti, the pasta was fresh and the meatballs plentiful. As for my pizza, I found it flavourful with fresh Basil and the crust was thin and crisp. Portion sizes were more and sufficient as we both had something to take away. Service was quick and cheerful. The room cleared out quickly as we expect a lot of tables were headed for an evening curtain. Still, there seem to be a lot of hard surfaces and it can get a bit loud, it did get a lot better once more tables departed. While not cheap we felt we received value for money, especially compared to some of the other nearby establishments. We'll still go there but from time to time it's nice not to have to fork over 3-digits on a dinner for two.

Service: 4 Food: 3 We ordered the burrata which was pretty good though it was more gritty that smooth inside like the ones I've had at some other places. We had two pizzas and their toppings were great, but I prefer a more light/airy crust. This one was quite hard and on the chewy side. The kale salad was delicious and the best out of the 3 .

    NOTE, THERE IS A NEW OWNER. I would have posted this on…read moreSchofields Facebook site but for some reason I couldn't. I have been there twice in the past month and there are improvements that need to be made or I don't think I'll be back. The first time I was with two friends. I'll start on a positive note by saying the food was delicious. However, you do not allow someone to come in with food from Yin's and eat out of the cartons at one of the tabes within the restaurant and then when he is finished eating, allow him to proceed behind the bar and pour shots for himself and waitresses. This spoils the atmosphere! The last time I went was with my family on May 7. We were celebrating Mother's Day and my birthday. The waitress was elderly and needed some help. I knew it was going downhill when I ordered my drink which was a $15 Pina Colada. Upon arrival to the table, I told the waitress that I didn't order a Martini as it arrived in a martini glass and she said no it was a pina colada. It was disgusting ... I got a half martini glass full with whip cream filling the rest of the glass and no garnish. I think the bar tender needs lessons as there is no whip cream on a pina colada and there needs to be a lovely pineapple garnish. Also, pina coladas are served in tall glasses! I had ordered the lamb shank, medium rare, at $38 and the carrot soup. The soup was very tasty; however, the lamb was another story. Now mind you, I did not know that lamb shanks were braised and supposedly very tender. As a result I asked for medium rare, which the waitress should have told me was not possible and why. The meat, I found, impossible to eat as it was very well done and a little stringy. Also, there was NO gravy, NO mint jelly and NO bread. Apparently, they were out of mint jelly! Had I not been with my family, who do not like confrontations and paid the bill, I would have said something and at minimum returned my drink and asked for a discount on my meal! Later today, I spoke with Alison, the owner, and she said that I should not have had to pay for my drink; however, she did not offer a refund. Nor did she offer a discount for my meal. This is the least I was expecting. This is very poor business acumen. I should also mention that in our phone call she went on about some special sauce for their lamb shank which I did not get. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

The meat was pink inside and too chewy to break down with normal teeth. Neither of us were able to eat it. The steak was not cooked as requested and was coated with too much spice. Nothing was done to rectify the situation. I gave them a review on Google and they removed it. Not very professional and certainly not customer service driven. Sad. $400.00 bill and greedy to boot.
