Restaurants near Greater Light

Steve and his team have done it again! Just across the street from the Black Whale, Candela Cucina has arrived, bringing an upscale Italian dining experience to the neighborhood. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a beautifully designed space, warm and welcoming staff, and an inviting ambience that makes you want to settle in for a long, leisurely meal. The menu does not disappoint—starting with the standout meatball appetizer served over creamy polenta, an absolute must-try. Candela Cucina is a charming addition to the area, and you truly have to experience it for yourself! News flash: we enjoyed the Portofino salad, which was delicious and Brittany, our server, was outstanding, what a nice way to enjoy an afternoon in a beautiful setting!

Great year round restaurant with reasonably priced and quite delicious entrees and prix fixe options.

Delicious as always! A few new items on the menu since the last time we were there that were delicious (eggplant, lettuce wraps). And of course the standards that we love (oyster tacos, blue crab fried rice) - they never disappoint. The almost naked and famous is the best drink anywhere! Great service, great atmosphere. Love this spot!!

I love it here - cozy, warm and happy to return. The linguini and clams is the best!

It was our first time at the Gaslight. Asian infused dishes were anywhere from solid to excellent. I particularly enjoyed the lemongrass shrimp / pasta dish. The tequila / ginger drink was also excellent. With that said, it is essentially bar food in a bar environment. So, important to be clear on your expectations.
