We went on Sunday afternoon and sat at the bar. Pretty quiet at the bar. Service was excellent. Shared a burger, fries and Jake’s salad. Food came out hot and fresh. Portions were perfect for sharing with two people. Drinks were delicious- Manhatten and Gin martini with blue cheese salt on rim. Highly recommend this place!

This was our first visit. The atmosphere was beautiful, elegant and welcoming. The food was exquisite and the hand crafted cocktails exceeded my expectations. And if that wasn’t enough to bring us back, the employees made the experience inclusive and fun. If you are ever lucky enough to sit at one of Tokyo’s tables, just know you will not be disappointed. He is one in a million.

Canne Rosso offers a delightful lunch experience, blending authentic Italian flavors with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu features fresh pasta, vibrant salads, and wood-fired pizzas that are perfect for a midday meal. Service is attentive and friendly, ensuring a relaxed dining experience. When there with two of my coworkers and one had margherita pizza, I had chicken Alfredo. We can truly taste the rich flavors and quality ingredients. Overall, it's a great spot for a satisfying lunch that balances taste and ambiance

We had the best waiter, who was interactive, but not hovering. The food was great, and we love, love, love those biscuits they bring out!
