Food and service was exceptional! Restaurant was a bit ‘too bright’ in the lighting. Ambiance would have been better if it was more dimly lit. Still really enjoyed our experience though!

It felt like left out when it came to service (being only brown family dining). The food was not great either but my family was so hungry we didn't have time to raise a complain to re-order the dishes. I won't be visiting again and would say there are better Italian food options available with better service.

We had dinner Saturday night at Claudio's. The restaurant was nice and the waitress was very friendly. The night was enjoyable (good wine and company) and we had a good time. The only issue was the food. I had seafood pasta and it had no taste at all, I almost wondered if the chef had forgotten to add the sauce. The food quality was good, but it was very bland. No one else at our table thought there meal was great. The 3 star rating was generous. If it wasn't for the waitress and the wine, the night would have been a disaster.

Very disappointed. Mussels were cold, sauce was too salty. Pasta was undercooked, almost crunchy, sauce too salty. Ambience was non existent, like eating at a bus station. Lighting too bright, music didn't fit an Italian dinner date. Drinks were great. I would drink there, wouldn't eat there.

Service and food outstanding. !! It was loud in there, but there was a big party right behind us and they were having a good time. Would for sure go back but maybe a quieter time.
