Editorial Review for Il Cantuccio – by Jennifer Joseph
In Short
The warm dining room, decorated with hand-painted pottery, comfortably holds a dozen tables. Neighborhood couples, friends and families enjoy the casual service as they dive into generous portions of moderately priced Italian fare. The menu's hallmark is its delicate homemade pasta. Three kinds of remarkable ravioli are offered: Spinach, pumpkin and crab, and all are delicious. The menu also offers straightforward pizza, meat and fish dishes.

I dined here recently and was disappointed. Nothing about the meal was particularly memorable save for one detail - the salt. The pesto that comes with the bread is very salty. My soup was very salty. My gnocchi was very salty. I was glad I had ordered a large bottle of Pellegrino. There is nothing remarkable about this restaurant except the adorable Italian waiter with his curled locks - he is worth coming back for. Everything else was mediocre.

After dining at Il Cantuccio many times, I have to admit it's one of my favorites in the city. It has the rare mix of delicious food, very reasonable prices, nice service and a cozy, friendly environment. The specials are always a home run but on the regular menu I've had the pumpkin ravioli, rigatoni with sausage & mushrooms and the gnochi and I've never been dissapointed! I've been there on dates and with girl friends and it's been great every time. The service is always friendly even if not perfect (some really cute italian boys in the past). If you want unpretentious, wonderful Italian food, go to Il Cantuccio! I'm hungry thinking about it...
Pros: delicious, reasonable prices, friendly service
Cons: sometimes parking but there is a garage ab 2 blocks away
