    We were visiting from Indianapolis and looking for a quaint Italian restaurant, we found just what we were looking for! The meatball appetizer is amazing, best meatballs we've ever had, and we always order meatballs to judge an Italian restaurant. The tableside cheese wheel pasta included sundried tomatoes and shrimp, not to be missed! Other notables, pizza and chicken parmesan too. The staff was welcoming and provided a great dining experience in addition to the meal.

    Great vibe with multiple generations enjoying delicious food. The artichoke appetizer and lamb risotto entree were excellent. Great to get a great meal that delivered at a reasonable price. Ask about the speakeasy.

    The place was very cute and cozy. We got seated immediately and the service was good. Our waiter misheard my boyfriend’s order and brought out the wrong dish at first, but immediately apologized and got the right food to him in 10mins or so. For the mistake, they comped us dessert. So service was a 9/10. The food was overall very, VERY, bland. I ordered the chicken parm and my boyfriend got the cheese wheel special and both dishes just lacked flavor. It didn’t taste bad, it was just blah. I wouldn’t go back, and I don’t recommend.

    Squash blossoms and bread service excellent. Pasta with clams a bit over salted. Cacio e Pepe pasta a bit over cooked and over peppered. Tiramisu to die for.

    Unfortunately the valentines menu was not fantastic. Overcooked and 1/4 ribeye, the strawberry shortcake was dry.

    My husband and I had a lovely time at Cacio e Pepe! The food was delicious. Norma was our server and she was so attentive, answered our questions and very good at her job. This was our second time there to eat and drink and we will definitely be returning.

    Our server was great, but food was mid and expensive. Didn’t help that my salad had a piece of plastic in it. Server took it off the bill and was embarrassed. She was very helpful.
