   As before, the food was fabulous. Lunch specials are a great treat. The atmosphere is beautiful, Italian and new flowers are now in the outdoor garden. Hope it opens soon if weather cooperates. Selina, the manager as always, made her appearance to check on the service and food. A very welcoming experience.

   I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars! Everything was fantastic. We usually sit at the bar and this was our first time dining at a table since the restaurant was reopened. Ray our server was outstanding. Everything he suggested was amazing. Highly recommend the Italian chopped salad as an app. We both got parm for our entree and being from the Boston area originally, we both agreed that it blew away anything we ever got in the North End. I was skeptical about the vodka sauce/red sauce combo but it was so delicious I actually asked for sauce to go!!! Finally, Ray recommended the pistachio martini for dessert and it was also the best Ive had! I couldnt possibly recommend Candela any more, by far the best Italian I have had since moving to the South Coast!

    The food was excellent, everyone really enjoyed it. However, our server was very slow with everything we ordered - beverages before the meal, entrees, after dinner coffee and dessert - we waited an exceptionally long time for each of these with no explanation or apology.
