   I was not impressed with the menu on first look. I ordered black bass and little necks in a spicy tomato sauce over linguine. I have to say it was amazing. The appetizer was as well. great atmosphere and outstanding service. We will be back.

   Very loud, overpriced food. My steak was overcooked. Tables are too close. Our waiter was attentive.

   The ambience and our chicken and kale tortellini dinner were a wonderful experience! To end our meal we enjoyed the limoncello cheesecake! Service was excellent at the bar with Nikos.

   For our monthly luncheon with our friends we chose Candela Cucina. We were interested in the newly opened restaurant, hoping that the rumors of a culinary experience were correct. Indeed, the reality matched the hype. I was glad management designed not only a quality food venue but provide a quality food experience. The food and the service was exceptional. Our server, Tanya, was most attentive, social, and FUN. She was knowledgeable regarding the menu and the nuances of the dishes. Each of the four people in our party rated their entree as excellent. The shrimp con Simone was exquisite. The sauce was delicate, with excellent consistency and not overpowered by lemon. The shrimp were cooked to perfection. We look forward to another culinary adventure there in the near future.

   Our server was Isabelle. She was absolutely lovely. She assisted us in making our dinner decision. She was attentive,present but not overwhelming. We started with the whipped. Feta which was outstanding. I had an espresso Martini which was Great, my husband had the Seville whisky also Great. For our entree's,I had the rigatoni Bolognese,I added grilled shrimp & it was delicious. My husband had the chicken Parm in a vodka sauce, also amazing, I tasted it. No room for dessert. Definitely a wonderful experience. Thank you. R & J

   Attentive service, nicely varied menu. Great quality. On pricier side but worth it (@$50-60 per person). Would recommend for date night or special occasion.

    The food and service were great! Best chicken parm in the south coast in my opinion and reasonably priced for the portion!
