    Their holiday buffets are excellent. Nice selections to choose from. The food is delicious and the servers/hostess go above and beyond which is greatly appreciated coming from a restaurant background myself, where everyone is a critic! They do an outstanding job.

    We love Calandra's Village and eat there often. Easter brunch had a beautiful ambiance great selection on the buffet unfortunately the hot buffet was cold and replacing the trays was slow. The beef was a roast not a prime rib. We also went there on Thanksgiving, and it was a whole different experience.

    Our first time at Calandras. The food was very good. Usually I would try one of their standard italian dishes but they had a special on the menu that peaked my interest. I had the chicken rollotini stuffed with fontina cheese, spinach and dates. It was very good. My wife had the filet of sole and she loved it. It was a quiet saturday night, not too many people in the restaurant but overall the experience was nice. Definitely will go again!
