    My only complaint was the Calamari wwas supposed to come with olives and peppers and sauces. When we asked for them, we recieved the sauces but never got the olives and peppers that were included on the menu.

    As always the food and service at Anthony’s Cucina Fresca are excellent. The salads, veal, eggplant and chicken dishes are favorites. For dessert their homemade gelatos and tiramisu are the perfect end to the meal. The atmosphere is welcoming and stylish and the owners are gracious and innovative.

    The food, as always, was spectacular. The service, however, was awful. Maybe because we were upstairs?? Hardly saw our waitress at all.

    Delicious food! We had the margherita pizza and caesar salad, def loved. I want to come back next time to try the pasta. Recommend eating outside it was so nice and peaceful with the fire, we ate late so traffic wasn’t too loud or busy to be distracting. Highly recommend.

    We had a lovely meal with a friend on the outside patio. Never disappointed with the quality of the food. Our server was very polite and nice. I wish the patio was a little more private as the street noise level can be loud but we still enjoyed it. As we stayed long enough for it to get dark, the fire pit was lit and created a wonderful atmosphere. Very nice experience and wonderful food!

    Second time there. Food is excellent. Service was very slow- we waited 35 min for our drinks. There was also a lot of noise on the upper floor with moving tables and chairs around the entire time we were there. Great food but too loud for a date or a conversation.

    It took 20 minutes before even coming to take our order. Appetizer was ok - food runner had spilled some of it on way to table. Salads were good. Then brought the wrong order after waiting for 45 minutes. They offered to make the correct dish but at that point was already very late.
