Estive no restaurante ontem e disse pessoalmente à chef que fazia tempo que não comida uma comida tão afetuosa. A comida é maravilhosa, bem preparada e a massa é fresca. Fui extremamente bem tratado por todos os funcionários. Me senti nas minhas reuniões de família quando era criança. Com certeza voltarei para vivencias essa experiência novamente.

Ambiente temático, agradável e limpo. Apenas um garçom e os donos ajudam no atendimento. As massas e o Tiramisu são ótimos, as pizzas têm massa fina demais e o provolone a milanesa estava horrível - deveriam trocar a receita ou retirar do cardápio.

Tive a grata surpresa de descobrir a Cantina L’Italiano um pouco antes do dia dos namorados a tempo de levar minha namorada pra um jantar. Desde o primeiro contato via whatsapp com a dona até a recepção, que mesmo tendo que esperar alguns minutinhos para liberação de mesa, fui muito bem recepcionado por um senhor que fica no bar e que me sugeriu uma vasta cartela de vinho nos quais ele acreditava que minha namorada iria curtir. E ele estava certo!!!! Pedimos um Nhoque recheado com Muçarela e um molho a Calabresa e sendo sincero, foi uma das melhores massas que já comi na vida. A porção pra dois pode parecer cara a primeira vista, mas eu e minha namorada saímos de lá BEM SATISFEITOS e ainda levamos uma parte que sobrou para viagem e almoçamos no outro dia hahaha. Resumindo, vão sem pensar duas vezes. E com certeza irei retornar.
