    We went to Cardinale for pre-concert drinks and small bites to eat!! It was amazing! Try not to eat too much and save room for dessert. The tiramisu and pana cotta was unbelievable!

    Small cute environment, quite loud. Staff seemed too busy too really notice you. The food was nothing special for the price, very underwhelming. Especially the lasagna. There was more sauce than anything else and noodles were crunchy (not just Al dente). We heard the table next to us share feedback about the lasagna as well. The crudo appetizer was actually quite nice. Trying this spot once was enough.

    Excellent as always. Our meals were very good and server and staff were so accommodating of our friend’s life threatening food allergies. So appreciated.
