    We had a great dinner with my parents. The noise level was perfect to have a conversation and visit. The food was fantastic, everyone found something they wanted and were very happy with their choices. Unknowingly, we had visited on their Monday night pasta special, which just sweetened our experience! Would recommend and we have already made reservations to return next month.

    The service was very good. Our waiter was pleasant and very attentive. The food was also very good with huge portions best for large groups. It is family style so you have to be prepared to share because portions are too large for singles. The salads are especially good.

    Bravo Claudio's Table! We enjoyed a variety of superb pasta dishes and salads on a Saturday evening. The ambience is glowing and bright. Service was exceptional -- attentive and personal. And we appreciated the upgrades in soundproofing so that noise is not an issue. We are in the neighborhood and are now confirmed regulars.
