   Our experience with our server, Justin, was quite disappointing. In the restaurant industry, a server's ability to connect with customers is essential, and unfortunately, Justin fell short in this regard. He approached our table with, “Can I get you guys some drinks?” without any greeting or introduction, which set the tone for an unwelcoming experience. Throughout our visit, he seemed disengaged—walking away in the middle of my conversation and taking a long time to return. When he finally did come back, he poured oil for our bread and quickly left without checking in on us or offering to discuss the menu. It was challenging to get his attention, and when he finally came to take our orders, he simply pulled out his pad, stared at us, and waited for us to speak without so much as a prompt. This is just a fraction of the communication issues we faced. On top of that, I noticed his lack of cleanliness while handling our food and drinks. When he brought my drink, I saw him improperly handling the straw and stirring it with his bare hands before placing it on the table. Additionally, he refilled my drink by scooping my used glass into the ice, leaving remnants of my leftover lemonade for everyone else to use. Interestingly, a couple at the booth next to ours overheard our discussion about the poor service and shared their own disappointing experiences with Justin. As a server at a fine dining establishment myself, I usually give grace and understanding, knowing that everyone can have an off day. However, Justin’s service was far below the standard expected in this industry. While the food never disappoints during our visits, it's a shame to encounter such underwhelming service. After this experience, we're left uncertain about returning.

   Cantoro is our go to Italian restaurant for 10 years. They never let us down Best Calamari Pepernota and Burrata. And the pastas are the best this side of Italy. Rob was our server and did a very good job

   Outstanding service and food. The three of us each ordered a different salad and they each received rave reviews.

   Returned to Cantoro's after a couple of years and were pleased with the overall experience. Great server and busy atmosphere and many smiling customers. Great menu with emphasis on traditional Italian items. Excellent beer, wine and cocktail service. All entrees and salads ordered were served on time and at proper temperature.

    The food is absolutely top notch. I had some of everyone's meals and each one was fantastic. The pizza, the pastas, the steak... plus the appetizers. It's one of the best restaurants around!
