Had a wonderful time here on a Saturday night. We went shortly after open at 4pm and had no wait. The restaurant filled up toward the end of our visit, so I imagine reservations ahead of time would be a good idea. The ambiance could use some help, but the food more than made up for it. Started with the caprese which was flavorful and a good size for two people. For dinner, I had the rigatoni alla vodka with sausage and it was fantastic. Very fresh pasta accompanied with delicious vodka sauce. For dessert, we split a cannoli which was plenty big enough to share. Perfect ending to a tasty meal. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future whenever Italian cravings hit.
Pasta was cooked perfectly. Try the Rigatoni Alla Vodka, the flavor was amazing. My wife loved the Pasta E. Fagioli. Cesar salad was very good and fresh. Try the happy hour with 2 dollars off beer and wine and reduced price apetizers.
Just tried this little place last night! Great food and great service. Thank you Janine! We will be back!
Simply Amazing .... everting Tasted Homemade and fresh..... GREAT Service, Kyla was the Best ... will definitely comeback ....
Love this restaurant! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The waitresses are always kind and helpful. My husband had the lamb special last time we went And it was cooked perfectly. I got the lobster ravioli and the scallops with it were nothing short of melt in your mouth perfection. Cant recommend this place enough!
From start to finish, the food and service were wonderful. The location is in a strip center but the food is authentic and perfect. We had a variety of appetizers, mushroom risotto, eggplant, pasta, lasagna, the fish special and dessert. Everything was great. Our server, Jeanine, was a jewel and is quite an asset to the restaurant. She took great care of us; striking the balance of being unassuming and totally friendly at the same time. I literally felt like I was a guest at a family gathering. Love this place.
Oh my gosh! Giovanni made me carbonara upon request! Delicious meal. Looked I died and went to Italy
I've been in Italy and tried home made food there. This restaurant it's the best and from today on my favorite. We had 5 different dishes, all great. Prices are reasonable. I just wish that they hire more people. Restaurant was packed. Sincerely, you have to try this. Love it!!!!
This was our second time at this restaurant in the past 2 weeks. This has to be the most authentic Italian food in the area. We love it. Anna was our server and she was great. If you are looking for true Italian food you have to try it. Truly fresh and delicious.
So glad they are back. Went on Friday night of opening week. As expected there was a wait list but my wife and I were able to sit at the bar. We decided to eat at bar rather then wait for a table. The service was outstanding. Our bartender was friendly and attentive. We each has pasta and it was delicious as expected. We split the creme brulee for dessert. It was very tasty tho the top could have been crisper. For an opening weekend and being crowded we were impressed with quality of food. We will be repeat customers for sure.
Great family run restaurant. The food is amazing! The pasta is made fresh everyday and everything tastes like home cooking. They have great lunch specials and the customer service is on point. Super friendly with a personal touch.
This is my favorite local place to stop in and grab a bite ( at the bar) or make reservations for dinner with friends The Calamari is not over run by seasonings the fry is always perfect! If you want great Italian food this is the place. Others are correct; the overall ambiance is lack luster.. but when it gets down to business it is all about me and Great Food on my plate and enjoying a meal with friends. Everything else is nothing.
La Calabria is very unassuming, modest and no frills in its outward appearance so we were completely surprised by the incredible food and service. Kayla, our server was so professional and knowledgeable and rattled off quite a few daily specials with all the complicated ingredients all from memory. We ordered one of the appetizer specials – fresh asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and parmesan – out of this world delicious! Our main dishes were so expertly prepared and the sauces were so, so flavorful and rich without being heavy. They have a good selection of cocktails and beer and wine. The menu is pricy but worth every dollar! Will definitely return again and again!!
There is no doubt that the food here is exceptional. I have always said that it’s hard to find good Italian food in Gilbert, but La Calabria seems to have been born just to put in my place.
You can that the place is new. There was no music playing in the background and the decor could be described as “minimalist” at best. But you don’t come here for music and decor, you come here for the food... If that’s the case, you will never walk away upset.
