The best eggplant parm and chicken parm around! Their portions are huge, and delicious. Super cozy ambiance and perfect for date night or a large group gathering. Wait staff is very friendly, especially Meg- she's a sweetheart. This is the spot to go to if you're looking for Italian in the Middlesex area.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. We had a holiday party here and the service was top notch for 30 people

So my aunt owns the cafe the food is sooooo good it's like hibachi but better like uwu

So great! The portions are huge and the price is worth it. You can definitely share the food with another person and still have leftovers. Everything is sliced in house and the chef is amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price.

Like everyone has said the portions are huge. The taste is spot on. I could sit there all day eating the bread and the dip. The family style salad and pasta were a big hit. The service was excellent. I highly recommend trying Cantina, you will not be disappointed

So, I was a plus 1 for a friends work Christmas party of ohhhhh 30. These guys weren't ready for this kinda traffic. There were two sizeable parties here on top of the regular bar traffic. Do better. Anywho, on to the ambiance, y'all are on point. This spot is cute. There are baskets all over the lining of the ceiling throughout. The food is authentic and soooooo yummy. I'm very pleased with the quality of food you put out. There's a one man band who plays everything under the roof . He went from country to east listening, to some Italian song. Can you say diverse?? YES! Well done.

Cantina is an Italian restaurant like no other in Connecticut! It feels like you are legit having dinner at your friend's super Italian grandparents house- and the food definitely adds to that homey authentic touch! Make sure to make a reservation- Cantina is super small but cozy. We've come here several times with groups of 4- 10 and each time was fantastic. Portions are huge so come hungry! Totally recommend finding dishes everyone in your party enjoys so you can share. My favorite dishes are their pork chop special with hot cherry peppers and potatoes and their veal parm. Pork is so difficult to cook without drying it out but at Cantina I have never had better! It is so juicy and flavorful and those potatoes?? Chef's kiss! The veal is so tender too and gigantic- never had better! Prices are SUPER fair! Especially for the amount of food given! Staff works very hard as well! Totally recommend for a truly unique, authentic Italian experience!

Been coming here for years. It's fantastic, authentic and fresh made food. Come hungry because you will have enough for two days! Make a reservation because they are verrry busy on the weekend. Seating is close and so it can be loud. Staff is friendly, drinks are well poured and the food is great imho. Six of us went a few days ago. We ordered The pork chop special. Two humongous chops with veggies and roasted potatoes. 3 orders of their veal/ eggplant layered with sausage stuffing smothered in sauce. 2 pasta dishes. The pasta entree came in a bowl that was at least six inches deep with 3lbs of pasta. Veal parmigiana All dinners come with yummy warm bread and dipping oil and a family style salad and a bowl of penne with marinara. Of course I will be back. Love this place!
