Best Authentic Restaurants in Oakdale

We had a fantastic dining experience at Cha Bella! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We began with the focaccia, which was warm, perfectly seasoned, and paired beautifully with the accompanying spread. The grilled romaine salad was a fresh and flavorful twist on a classic, with a delicious char that added depth to every bite. For our entrées, we enjoyed the duck ragu and seared grouper—both were outstanding. The duck ragu was rich and comforting, with tender duck and a perfectly balanced sauce. The seared grouper was cooked to perfection—flaky, moist, and paired with fresh, seasonal accompaniments that elevated the dish. We finished with the key lime pie, which was the ideal sweet-and-tangy ending to our meal. A special thank you to Shawn, our server, who provided warm, attentive service throughout the evening. His knowledge of the menu and friendly demeanor made our experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for fresh, locally-sourced cuisine served with care, Cha Bella is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing place and dinner. Brian our server was outstanding. We even forgot our credit card and extra cash outside of the tip. They kept it for us and Jonathan one of the managers let us know we left it. How amazing is that highly recommend this place

We reserved a table having not eaten there before and was pleasantly surprised! It was Valentine’s Day and they reminded us that we had a table and we acknowledged and when we got there, they did have a nice booth ready. Our server was Madison and she was friendly efficient, very professional. Our food was excellent, I would suggest getting dessert and getting the cheesecake. It was the best I’ve ever eaten!

Overall excellent! We were greeted and seated at our reservation time. Our server was polite and professional. The food was nicely presented...nice timing between the appetizer and main course. Our dinners were well prepared with the steak cooked as requested. We will go again!

We had a wonderful meal at Corleone’s. The lobster shrimp ravioli was outstanding, the shrimp scampi and sausage dish were excellent. Our server was fantastic. I can’t say enough good things about it. (The noise level was low as it was early but started to pick up :-)
