My coworkers planned my going away dinner and brought me here. I had a blast! The food was very good, reminded me of my fave place back in FL (Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza, if ya know-ya know) and our server, Allie, just made the night! So friendly, and chatty, and made great suggestions. I will definitely be back, and she better be my server!!

went there on april 30 for dinner and sat outside. First the good: ambience, greetings, seating (reserved in advance),unfortunately it was all downhill from there. The server did not get any silverware, napkins, even after taking the order. I had to ask three times to different servers as well. The food/pizza arrived, but no plates were given to party of six. The pizza started getting cold. The naked wings were hard as a rock and fried in some oil that reeked of staleness. We had to leave those uneaten. The sausage appetizer was similarly hard. We have eaten here before, but this was the worst experience. I would appreciate a reply from the manager.

Great Pizzeria . Europeans can never miss to eat Pizza here.The authentic Wood Baked pizzas . Real feel . Picante Olive oil wasnt available, but i was able to request for extra olive oil and put on Pizza for great italian pizza cravings.Bruschetta was too perfect as well.In general this is a best place , great service , Professional staff and Great ambience.Only a bit Light ambience can be improved.

We have been there a couple of times. The food is always great. They have this beautiful granite wrap-around bar. I had a lovely light cocktail there a Limoncello Spritz. The service was attentive. They have a wonderful Margherita pizza. His husband really enjoyed the sandwich he had and the king sausage. The parking is very easy and you don't have to pay for it and the location is easy to find. They have lovely thin crushed wood fired pizzas. I got some lemon Olive oil cake you spell cake like a pound cake that I'm going to try and I'll keep you guys posted. I think that you'll really enjoy this place if you like good Italian food.

We've been going to Candelaris regularly for 6 years. I ordered a calzone and my wife a small pizza. It was not crowded when we got there around 6pm, but the order took a very long time. The waiter said it was Friday and they were busy. Hmmm, OK. My calzone was truly awful. It had no sauce in it at all. I was trying to eat with the dipping sauce, but it was so dry it had no flavor at all. My wife's "pizza" was even worse. Her pizza had no sauce or oil on an it was so overcooked the crust was bubbled and crunchy. It was a giant pita chip with cheese and sprigs on it. We complained, no manager ever came over and the waiter actually said, "Well, the next time you come..." I said there is no next time.

We visited on Saturday, January 15th. I loved the food I ordered very much! Service was very good and prompt, BUT did not enjoyed our time there because of a very loud music. And I must add bad music. The “singer “ was mumbling something unrecognizable. People come to restaurant not just to eat, we want to socialize which is very hard when you can’t hear person sitting next to you. Because of loud music, people have to speak loud in to each other’s face and with Covid just imagine how many infections could happen.

This is normally one of my favorite places to eat. I ordered a side Caesar salad tonight and find this. Won’t be returning.

the chicken with veggies is fabulous so are the calzones

We’ve been here over an hour now. Asked to see the manager. Twice. He never came, until he delivered our (ridiculously late) order. And it was wrong.

The most authentic Italian food we've had in a long time!! And you have to taste their Tiramisu; it's absolutely delicious!! Excellent customer service!! Great dining atmosphere to accompany the tasty cuisine!! Definitely coming back next time we're close by!!
