   We were there for an anniversary, and the experience could not have been nicer. We were seated at a quiet end booth and thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere. Thanks!

   Excellent service by our server Cason. Timing was perfect and his attention to my allergy needs were met effortlessly.

   Once again, this restaurant with its great ambiance, and food to match is a great asset in this city. Our server, Jordan was very attentive and the meals we ordered, were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

   I love the ambiance in this restaurant. The service is excellent and the food is delicious. However I’ve had the osso buco a couple times and it is on the dry side. I like my osso buco to be Juicy. The whipped ricotta is a treat, not to be missed! And the pistachio ice cream is scrumptious with pistachios mixed in!

   Went to Candela for the first time. It was also the first Brunch service. Our server Juliette was incredible. The food was delicious as were the drinks. Being in the restaurant industry we rarely have time to enjoy ourselves. Thank you Will, Pete , Chef Joe and Juliette for the incredible hospitality!!!

   A very busy Memorial Day weekend night, so we could only get reservations at 8:15 PM. That's OK as we know that the food and the service are always good -- and they were. Not our first time eating at Candela Cucina. The people at the table next to us had not been there before and kept marveling at the quality and quantity of the food. Overall as good as always - be prepared to take some boxes home with you - we order a single appetizer to share, a single salad to share and a main apiece and take home some of each. Love this restaurant.

   I do realize this is an Italian restaurant but it’s in New Bedford, which is known for fresh off the boat seafood. More seafood options would be a great upgrade to the menu. Food was very good and presented beautifully. Staff are wonderful, attentive, and professional. Elegant touches everywhere, including glassware and dinnerware. The entry is equipped with comfy chairs and cocktail tables, an upscale touch for those waiting to be seated. A return visit is in the works.
