Cansano Italian Steakhouse Reviews
We shared the wage. It was good as were the sides. The drinks were delicious. The service was friendly and helpful with deciding what to eat. A welcoming atmosphere and they have a patio.
We love dinner here! We were in for a treat going to dinner last night and sitting on the patio that was surprisingly comfortable with the heat from the day..with beautiful views. The new menu was a great surprise and new items were unbelievably wonderful. Service with Tom was great, in spite of being extremely busy! All staff was friendly and efficient. Pete the chef, is incredibly talented and everything served was perfection!
We had a really nice experience here. The restaurant is contemporary yet inviting. Upon arrival, a thoughtful birthday card was waiting on the table signed by the staff- a nice touch. We started with a Manhattan cocktail and it was made perfectly. I don't know why, but it has been difficult to find a well-made Manhattan these days and at Cansano, the bartender knew what they were doing. We started with the Steamed Mussels and Mama's Meatballs. Both were so delicious I would come back every day just for these menu items. Very flavorful and satisfying. Both were served with artisan crostini to soak up all the wonderful flavors in the mussel broth and meatball sauce. For entrees we had the Dry-Aged Ribeye and the Akaushi Filet mignon with an add-on of scallops. Sides are ordered separately and we chose to have the Roasted Yukon Potatoes and the Asparagus with parmesan and lemon. Each side was enough to share amongst two people. The asparagus was delectable and the potatoes were flavorful but a few were overcooked. The steaks were under-seasoned and not exactly cooked to order. The temperatures of the steak were different from side to side (well done to medium to rare then to medium rare). The scallops were over-salted but perfectly seared. They have an excellent wine list that I feel complements their menu. We ordered the Flowers Vineyard and Winery Pinot Noir and it paired with our meal beautifully. We were so full but I didn't want to miss out on dessert so I ordered the Tiramisu to go. I ate it the next day and honestly, one of the best Tiramisu's I've had. Service was absolutely lovely. Our server, Brooklyn, was so sweet and very attentive. The manager, Julie, assisted to make sure our meals were delivered in a timely manner so they didn't sit on the pass. Service truly was excellent. We are certainly going to try Cansano again. I do feel they need a little work on steak preparation, especially given their steak prices; however, overall- we had such a nice experience and we thoroughly enjoyed some other excellent menu items. I would certainly recommend this restaurant for either casual dining or special event.
Nice looking place. Fairly new. A little attention to detail is needed. Garlic bread had great flavor, but needed not be cooked a minute more so it's wasn't limp. The mussels needed to be cleaned more. Grit is never appreciated, and all the mussels on the plate should be opened. I'm sure the meatballs served as the appetizers are the same that are used on the pizza, and in the spaghetti. They are very good. Try making them bigger for a appetizers to make it feel like an appetizers, not an afterthought for another dish. The chicken parm is very East coast tasting. Taste deep fried and heavy. The sauce was good, just a little salty. For all the flavors of the other dishes, the risotto had very little, although perfectly cooked. Service is good.
Wow - so happy to try this gem of a restaurant. We were greeted with kindness. Parking is easy with the garage just behind the restaurant. A party of 12...Tom masterfully took care of our every want! The Food: everyone raved about their dish - there was something for everyone. Tom made sure to have enough bread for this crowd - the assortment was delicious. The salmon was perfect. The Moscato was devine. The Pizza was excellent. The Service: Tom catered to our every want. He was magnificent. We took our time and savored our dishes. We were never rushed. We were pleasantly surprised to not have an automatic tip calculated for our group which left us to leave a generous thank you and greater amount for the wonderful service. Thank you for helping us make memories to last a lifetime. The Ambiance: an intimate dining experience. Not too big not too small, it was Goldilocks 'just right'. About $62/pp but we had a few drinks, a bottle of wine and a few lobster entrees. We will be back to experience more of the menu. Thank for every little thing y'all did to make such a memorable evening.
