    It is like our second home. We cannot wait for the summer so we can enjoy the outdoors.

    Appetizer calamari was very good when paired with marinara. Cocktails suggested by our server were excellent. Lobster ravioli was phenomenal. Dry aged ribeye was overcooked and at $72 was a bit disappointing. Tiramisu was to die for. Service was very good. Ambiance was candlelight in a sports bar motif. We will definitely visit again and just stay with the traditional Italian fare.

    We made reservations on line for Valentine’s Day less than a week before the 14th. I was very happy to get a reso at such late notice but noticed that it said we’d be dining outside. When I called they told me that it meant we could be sitting in the Venda deli where they would be setting up tables and serving the same food if there were no tables inside when I get there. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed. The hostess who was fantastic told us that we would have to wait about 20 mins. By the time I went to the bar and got drinks for us she came and got us to be seated in the main restaurant upstairs. I honestly don’t know how they were able to accommodate so many people, so efficiently. It obviously was not like a normal day but they did a great job working hard to please their customers. We were very impressed at how fast we got served and how pleasant the staff was in the midst of the very busy evening. Thank You!

    Was the worst experience I ever had. Was put in the deli with stadium lighting, two hours for food, the steak had no seasoning like they just took it out of the package and put it on the grill. My significant others pizza came out 20 mins before my steak and was cold! There was no marketing we would be in that setting and not the actually restaurant or I would’ve never booked it. What a truly horrific experience.

    We were looking for a romantic Italian dinner for Valentine’s Day.. but that was not what we got. The tables in the restaurant were so squished together you couldn’t have a conversation without talking over your neighbor (whose table was 5 inches away). We felt like sardines. We ended up having to physically rearrange tables around us so my pregnant self and 6’3 husband could fit at our table. The poor servers were overwhelmed and could hardly move between the tables.

    The table we sat at has just behind the hostess stand and facing the main door in the restaurant. It was cold and windy out so every time the door opened it froze us in our seats. This table should never be used in the winter unless the restaurant built an exterior door like many do in New York which creates a double door to block the cold and wind from blowing directly inside the venue. This would also help save money on your heating bills. I probably won't not go back here in the winter, but I will note that in the summer and fall Constantino's has a lovely patio that is very lovely to dine outdoors when the weather is nice out.

    Delicious meal, a little price-y but makes sense. The service was very attentive- went at 5- by 6:30, the volume was pretty high. For older folks, it would recommend paper menus over QR codes.

    The sauce isn’t good in my opinion. The pasta came out cold. The spinach salad was good but very little goat cheese. The wedge salad was big but not enough dressing and bacon. And a huge not edible piece of ice berg was given. It was a three. Not awful but not as good as they used to be
