Go here. You will love it. ”
“ ROD was an amazing server when my husband and I visited Cansano! He was super knowledgeable about the menu and hospitable towards us. We felt right at home! The portions are great, the food quality was 1010 and everything was delicious! Scratch made really does make a difference. We got the garlic bread, little gem Cesar, short rib lasagna, chicken Parmesan, and chocolate orange bread pudding with black cherry ice cream! We left full and happy, and we will be back soon to try more things! Thank you Rod!!! ”
“ We dined here for lunch on 32225. Since it was our first time we ordered a variety of dishes to try lobster bisque, garlic bread, margherita pizza, filet mignon, roasted potatoes. All were excellent, cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. Dishes are large enough that we were able to take some home for later. For dessert, we tried the limoncello semifreddo and bread pudding, which were also delicious. A plain espresso, without shots, pumps, or cream, was a welcome finish to our meal. The restaurant itself was clean and modern except for the giant baby picture! . A special shoutout to Rod who made the experience a pleasure from start to finish. As a fine dining restaurant, expect to pay appropriately. Parking options are limited to curbside near the front or in the back near the movie theater. Recommended! ”
“ We celebrated our 24th Anniversary here! The atmosphere is amazing! The food was fantastic! Our waitress Hailey was so personal and attentive to our requests. I had the scallops picatata and my wife had the chicken Parmesan and it was fantastic. The north end of CoS has desperately needed a restaurant of the caliber of Cansano! ”
“ Wonderful service, delicious flavorful food, modern atmosphere. We had a party of 10 and sat outside. Our waiter Caleb was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine selection. He answered all of our questions and had wonderful suggestions. The pizza and chicken parm on the kids menu were both huge hits. You cant go wrong with pretty much anything on the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meals! ”
“ Genuinely enjoyed our visit with friends. Service was outstanding, food was delicious, deserts were great. Love the chill atmosphere, very classy yet silly with fun art on the walls. Feels a bit pricey but thats fine, the food, service and drinks were worth it. ”
“ Came here on the Tuesday after Valentines day. Atmosphere was great and it wasnt super busy, though it was a Tuesday after a holiday. Our server, Kris A, did a wonderful job and had phenomenal service. Recommended the Love at first sip cocktail which I absolutely fell in love with as I am a big lemon drop fan. Overall food was good, I had the 18 oz dry aged NY strip and it was good if a tad underseasoned. My fiancee had the lobster rigatoni and it was very good and very filling. We also tried the roasted artichoke and the calamari and both were very flavorful. Our favorite part of the evening was dessert, we had the limoncello semifreedo and it was phenomenal. Kris A, thank you for recommending the drink you did, I had my fiancee stop so we could pick up the ingredients to make it at home. Will 100 be back. ”
