Our Guestbook
“ I came here for a bridal shower and the staff was very accommodating. I loved the penne a la vodka and their desserts. We had a variety of drinks without brunch and I would definitely come back. Overall, the dining experience was great. ”
“ Staying in a nearby hotel, and evening being since and warm, made me feel like I wanted to walk a bit to find something healthy, delicious but also not overpriced to eat. Google reviews is what I normally use and Calogero’s caught my eye as they had pretty high score already and were open until 10pm. It was already past 8:15pm so I decided to give it a try. Nice people, very friendly, good food and quick service made me feel they deserve 5 stars. If you are looking for an extraordinary experience, this is not the place but it hits all points when it comes to good food in a cozy atmosphere. ”
“ Thought they all did a spectacular job. Our waiters explanation of all the dishes was important to us. Our waiter knew the menu and spoke off of it with great enthusiasm. This is a very important thing to keep people coming back. It was my wife's birthday (who is a great cook) and I love to grill as well. My Wife ordered the seafood with spaghetti and I finished it . We thought it was well prepared. Prices were fine food was great and the service spectacular. Packed for a Thursday night. Make reservations. ”
“ I must say I was extremely happy with the food and service that was provided at my daughter's baby sprinkle. It was a last minute event as she lives out of state. They were all accommodating with the menu, decor and even opened the ... ”
“ One of my favorite restaurants ever! 5 stars doesn't do them justice. Delicious and amazing food, awesome service and ample parking. Just had a dinner party there in their private space. Not only was the food perfectly made but our waiter was so attentive. They took safety precautions seriously and was very hygienic (cleaned/sanitized) the high chairs, used Napkins to hand straws/utensils before giving to us.. Ronnie the manager is always accommodating and so easy to work with. ”
“ The food was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly. They found out that my daughter is graduating from college and sent her dessert with congratulations written on the plate. They didn't have to do that but we all loved that they did. Very thoughtful. Go and enjoy. ”
“ Can I just say that choosing Calageros for our wedding shower was a fantastic choice! The outside tent was beautiful. It was very nicely decorated with hanging floral decor and wreaths. The waiting staff gave us five service the entire time. The sangria is delicious and fresh. The food is also outstanding, very fresh and full of flavor. We will definitely return at some point in the future! ”
“ Had lunch here with the ladies this past week...usual spot for us. We all got the same (another usual for us) - chicken panini. Delicious lunch with grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, arugula, fresh mozzarella, and pesto. Ordered mine with the restaurant fries which are homemade chips. So filling, I had plenty of leftovers! Service was very attentive. We will be back in the fall to lunch outdoors! ”
