What a great place. Let's start with the service. Everyone was friendly and made you feel like you were the only ones they were serving. No rush, always asking if we needed anything and always had a smile. The ambience was relaxing, friendly and everyone seemed having a wonderful time. The food was incredible. We ordered appetizers and the Fried Calamari was done to perfection, the others enjoyed the Gorgonzola bread and the fried mozzarella. If you don't like Gorgonzola the house bread and dipping oil was perfect. The main course was just as good and it all came out hot. The Chicken Franchise was excellent with enough leftover for two more meals. All others agreed the food was delish. We splurged and ordered dessert as two of us were celebrating birthdays. Again no one was disappointed. Definitely recommend calling for reservations. Every table was occupied. read more

I've been to Cima several times and always had great service and kindness, which makes this visit so disappointing. My husband and I stopped in around 5pm and I sat at the bar while he parked the car. A staff member, possibly the hostess or a manager, told the gentleman seated next to me to move down one seat, since that was actually where my husband was about to sit. When I explained my husband was sitting there, she immediately snapped "we don't save seats" in the rudest possible manner, clearly on a bit of a power trip. Then one of the "party of three" they were making room for didn't show up for over 20 minutes, meanwhile I was the one made to feel like I'd done something wrong. This experience definitely ruined our dinner that we were looking forward to after leaving my dad's house who recently passed and putting it on the market. It isn't hard to be kind to people as you never know what they are dealing with. On our way out, my husband confronted her about saving that seat for a regular while treating me like crap for doing the same thing, she had no explanation, but " I am sorry you feel that way" apology. I grew up in Wilbraham and work in town, and I have never felt so much like an outsider in my own community. To be fair, the food was good and the bartender himself was lovely, pleasant, and accommodating, it was entirely this other staff member. I hope this was a one-off, but it left a bad taste after so many good experiences here. read more

My friends and I had dinner tonight. I ordered lamb chops blood red. in the meantime I ordered another cocktail as my waiter said it would be a while before dinner. Few minutes later my food comes out and my lamb is cooked to medium. I send it back telling them it is way overcooked. My wife and guests eat their dinner.... I asked them to just box mine to go and I did not even get to eat with my wife and friends. The check arrives... they still charged me the $50 for the lamb which I was not able to eat with my guests and to remake it please. They had brought me a new lamb in a take away box. The check arrives and I asked them to please remove my lamb dinner as I was not able to enjoy it with my guests. As the check arrives some guy comes out and says if you are not paying then you cannot take the lamb home and grabs it from the table!! Have never been treated that way for some chef overcooking a meal and having some attitude problem. Very disappointing to be treated in such a way when they are the ones who ruined our evening. read more

My son and I went there as an early birthday celebration (his). The staff from the hosts to the wait staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. Appetizers -stuffed mushrooms and calamari-excellent. The bread that was offered was fresh and tasty. The veal parm was thick and tender, spaghetti sauce was homemade and ever so tasty. My son loved his pasta dish. We ordered extra appetizers as well as the lamb chop dinner for home (can't wait to eat tomorrow). The desserts were excellent-creme brûlée cheesecake and lemon cake. Highly recommend. read more

At first glance the place is nice, the ambiance was nice we were asked if we wanted appetizers? we said yes , but the waitress couldn't confirm from the chef if there was shrimp in the crab meat stuffing(shouldn't he know?) then we were told that we would have to order the apps and meal at once , because the kitchen is busy (there were 8 people at the time there) we believe its to shorten your time sitting there. the staff was nice , the portions were good For as much as they charge, the ceiling vent in the bathroom looked like it was about to fall out , the outside of the building is unappealing(peeling, faded, rotted wood, extremely expensive read more

My body thanks me for such a delicious meal today. Upset with myself that I took no good picture but means I need to come back again. Came here with family after going to a retirement party. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and fried mozzarella for appetizers. Has to be some of the best fried mozzarella I have ever had with that perfect crisp bite and oozing cheese. Everyone ordered fillet. Cook it to how you like it, rare is indeed rare and look as a medium rare comes away it should too. I have some leftovers so looking forward to having that for lunch Sunday this week. Thought about steak and eggs for breakfast but I am still full! For dessert my aunt wanted to order three things by insisted how full everyone was we only ordered two. We all had cappuccinos and I asked the waitress to get me a scoop of ice cream for mine as well as order a chocolate cake and tiramisu. Chocolate cake was dry, tiramisu was out of this world and I am not a fan of tiramisu. The end of the day I had a very positive experience and looking forward to bringing a date here someday. read more

I ordered the Rib Eye Steak medium rare and it was one of the worst cuts of meat I have ever had. The meat was very tough and had no flavor. Service was excellent and Page was outstanding as a waitress but based on the food, I would not go back. read more

Food was excellent, service was good, ambiance was nice, it was a little delayed in getting the food. However, food was worth waiting for I guess. I had veal parm with sauteed mushrooms on top. I try this at almost every new Italian restaurant I go to. I have to say this was one of the best I've ever had. On top of that they not only gave me the sauteed mushrooms which were very flavorful and had some nice spice in them, but he gave me all the extras on the side. It took me three meals to finish my veal parm. read more

By far my favorite restaurant in the area. Baked stuffed shrimp are the best I ever had and if you want to splurge get the surf and turf. Out of this world! Nothing like a top notch ribeye cooked medium rare as ordered with au poivre sauce. Love the gorgonzola bread with the pitcher of gorgonzola sauce to pour on it. So rich and delicious. You can enjoy a meal worthy of a holiday or celebration or you can choose one of their many healthy options. You will not be disappointed. read more

It was a nice restaurant with large portions. I didn't understand serving green beans with chicken parm but I assume they wanted to get rid of them. The proseco was served in those small bottles which was rather tacky and our server was unable to open them either time. I had to ask for a fresh glass. I can't say there was much ambience at all; not negative just nothing. We could have been eating anywhere. Our server was pleasant enough but nothing special. The restaurant is convenient and clean and a bit overpriced. It is nothing out of the ordinary. read more

Love the feel of the restaurant felt very New England. Food was pretty good. I plant palm was delicious. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes instead of pasta and they had absolutely no flavor. I do not even think they were seasoned. Would definitely suggest seasoning the food and adding some flavor to it. Consistency was great though. Our server was fantastic. I forgot her name, but she was a younger, blonde haired girl that was funny and very attentive. read more

Went for dinner the other day, and will never go back again. My guest and I were not allowed to sit inside because we were wearing t-shirts. The hostess said it was because we didn't have a reservation....for an empty restaurant. Restaurant still had multiple open tables when we left. Our sever however was attentive, and friendly. The 'fresh' bread was horribly dry, and the oil poorly seasoned. I've had far better at chain restaurants. The calamari was crispy and well seasoned, as was the veal parm. Had my guest not have been insistent on eating there, we would have gone someplace else due to the snub. The food didn't come close to making up for it. read more

Great menu selections. Accommodated me well with gluten free adaptations. Service is top notch. Really experienced and thoughtful servers It's a genuinely beautiful restaurant. The outdoor space is really nice. It can be incredibly noisy in the back room of the bar area when full. Make reservations when possible. read more

Decided to give CIMA a go as a local foodie along with a friend of mine. We did the usual 3 meals appetizer, dinner and dessert to give CIMA the chance. We started the night with empanadas which were the special along with arrancini. Now the empanadas, no self righteous Hispanic woman could claim those as her they were bland and empty filled with a single shrimp and cheese. The only thing to do it justice was the sauce to dip. The arranchini, the bland rice balls that would make my Italian grandmother cry in shame. Salt and the red sauce saved them. The chicken saltimbocca drenched in this marsala sauce and I mean drenched. Didn't do the chicken any justice in fact it suffocated it to death but it had spaghetti floating around to keep it from drowning. Again my friend the salt needed swoop in to save the day. Chicken saltimbocca quite literally translates to salt in your mouth. But where was it ? The prosciutto was a knock off not real prosciutto de Parma , or was it been just ham ?again salt didn't exist in the chefs menu tonight. Lastly the espresso and chocolate cake. The cake was dry had been refrigerated or previously frozen and disappointing. Overall the atmosphere was nice as was the waitress , but the food, the food a disappointment and for a foodie saddened by the lack of attention and care from a chef. read more

The service and food was great , it was nice in inside and outside a place to go celebrate a special occasiona

I normally don't write restaurant reviews however last nights meal compels me to do so. Myself and 3 others went, we ate on the porch and it was beautiful. (the whole place is nice) I have been going there for many years and have never gotten a bad meal. Last night I ordered the beef tenderloin cima. It was NOT filet mignon. It was more like a cut of pot roast with the same grain and fat content. (I sent it back) 2 others in our party had the baked seafood medley. This meal had hardly any flavor at all. Our other guest had the surf and turf special and it was very good. We shared the meatball app. that was excellent. The deserts were also really good. Waitstaff could not have been better. read more

Had a party of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. The staff was very helpful, coming around often to ensure everything was all set. Food was very good. Veal Marsala and Chicken Romano were favorites of the group. We were able to bring in a cake from a bakery that the waitstaff helped cut up and serve. A very good experience over all. read more

We had a great experience on a Tuesday night not to busy the food and service was great. Reserved a table on Friday night restaurant was busy we had 5 in our party. The waitress was rude and didn't really come around to ask if we'd like anything just said our food would be out soon, it took over and hour. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo had the viens in them, also they tried to pass off Beef Short Ribs as Pot Roast. A member in our party took pictures of the Beef Short Ribs previously and they were clearly not the same I believe it was Pot Roast that was served. Unfortunately we won't be going back nothing can excuse the horrible attitude with our waitress.. read more

Too crazy not to share this: Recently(8/7), some friends gathered for dinner at Cima. While seated, one guest noticed a Mercedes pull into the parking lot and smash into our friend's car. The Mercedes driver immediately pulled back out of the parking lot and headed east on Boston Rd then pulled into the small lot on the other side of the restaurant. The driver tucked the car as far into the woods as possible avoiding many open parking spots. By the time our friend found the Mercedes, the driver was gone. My friend informed our server and showed her the pieces of broken lens from the the Mercedes found near his car on the other side. The server used the microphone to announce the make, model and color of the car and asked for the owner to identify themselves. No one did. Another server realized that the car belongs to the owner, Tony. Meanwhile, Tony ignored the announcement. When the staff informed him of the issue, he said that he wasn't aware that he hit a car. Other customers confirmed that Tony NEVER parks in the small lot. He always parks directly in front of the porch. He attempted to deny hitting one of his own customer's car! Tony's the guy usually seated at the far end of the bar with a barely concealed hand gun. Pretty intimidating when you politely ask the bartender to change the TV channel from something other than FOX news. If the bartender complies, Tony yells that "This is MY bar and I decide what's on the tv"! We will NOT be back and we will make sure everyone we know is aware of this incident. read more

Wonderful restaurant. My wife and I had a date night. Very clean, and friendly staff. The food was delicious. The bread was delicious it was accompanied by some delicious olive oil mix. The shrimps were a very good size. The chicken park was also great. Would recommend and will revisit. read more

Went on a Friday night and it was busy so I'd suggest you make reservations. We had the calamari and Gorgonzola Garlic bread and it was delicious. Our waitress was slow to bring out apps and drinks but we figured they were just super busy. The Shrimp Fra Diavolo was amazing and it was a huge portion. I can't wait to go back! read more

We were seated very timely and our drink order was taken with in a reasonable timeframe as well. However our food wasn't even close to being on the grill the waitress told us. This was about an hour after we placed our food order. We told the waitress we're going to leave and pay for our drinks and he had to check with her manager to make sure we could leave... she was very rude and a bit stuck up. Never actually tried the food, only the break and olive oil (which she charged us 6 dollars for because they couldn't get food out for a party of 3) If your thinking of going here I'm just going to politely say, there are a lot of other, better, and politer options on Boston road in Wilbraham and Springfield that Cima. Didn't seem fair to give them one star with our trying food even though that was there negligence and not mine. read more

The steaks and seafood are always fresh. Wait staff attentive and pleasant. They strive to get everything right. Relaxing bar area and has a new outdoor area. read more

We loved everything except it was a bit noisy on a Saturday night. But otherwise, food was really excellent especially the Scallops Genovese and artichoke appetizer, arancini balls, filet mignon. Service was very good also even though the restaurant was very busy. Would definitely come again. read more

Higher price restaurant , steak and seafood . Each meal is served with fresh baked bread we opted for a meal other than steak $ . We were greeted by a friendly waitress who made a few suggestions for drinks and meal options . We opted for a light early dinner. Baked scallops with crabmeat which was filling and shrimp fra-diavalo with linguine. Both tasty meals . We would recommend Cima , we will return to dine for a steak meal. read more

The food and service were very good. We both had seafood and it was perfectly cooked. Music was great too. We were sitting in a back corner and there were ants on the wall. That's the only reason for 4 stars. read more

I've gone to Cima in the past and didn't care for them. Since then, whatever they did, a new chef, whatever, it's been pretty good.

We waited 1 1/2 hours for our entrees and when they came out, multiple dishes were overcooked, under seasoned, and/or cold. When I spoke with one of the managers on our way out, she was defensive and did not acknowledge our experience, pointing blame at me. A fair experience with things we could overlook was ruined by very poor customer service. We won't be back, even though the calamari and stuffed mushroom appetizers were quite good! read more

I have never eaten IN Cima but appreciated that they did take out in the current world we live in. We split the meal and both enjoyed the Shrimp Genovese; it was quite tasty including artichokes, capers and a "pink" sauce served over linguini. However, I would not recommend the seafood stuffed mushrooms; they did taste fine but we were disappointed with the lack of seafood in the shroom stuffing; in the end I would describe them as mushrooms with stuffing that occasionally had a hint of some seafood flavor/seasoning. read more

Very disappointing first visit. Appetizers were delicious. Main course was not. Order the gnocchi and it was the worst I ever have had. Waitress came over and asked how everything was, I just explained I didn't care for the gnocchi. She asked if it was my first time having gnocchi. I explained I have had it plenty of other times, just didn't care for this one. She just walked away. There was never any solution provided, I was never asked if I wanted to order something else. I would have ordered a salad and paid for both dishes, but she simply walked away. Terrible service, we will not return. read more

Service is good and staff is very nice. The food just isn't good. I've been 3 times now and I would way rather go to longhorn or any chain place like that for a far better steak. Like I mentioned I've been 3 times it's not just one bad meal. It's extremely over priced for the quality. I've had two steak meals and one chicken. Everything is extremely underwhelming. I love high end dinning, I'm no stranger to paying well over $50 just for a steak but with that price you expect a certain level of quality, being quality of the beef itself, seasoning of the meat and the quality of the cook itself. And Cima is lacking on all of those things. Even the chicken I had was over cook and extremely under seasoned. read more

Cima is an ritzy Italian restaurant that also could be a steakhouse in its own right. My bf and I have wanted to try this place out for awhile since it's close, and we were not disappointed. We started out with eggplant rollatini, which was drenched in flavorful garlicky marinara sauce. The bf ordered a beer and I ordered a V-one berry vodka cosmo that was delicious--I love V-one berry vodka and it's also cool that they serve local spirits--V-one is out of Hadley. They have a lot of traditional Italian dinner options, like lasagna, chicken and eggplant parmigiana, manicotti, etc., but also a variety of chicken, seafood, and beef dishes. They serve higher priced steaks such as prime rib, filet mignon, and tenderloins. My bf got the beef tenderloin cima, which came with two 5oz tenderloins with prosciutto and mozzarella over spinach and a Marsala wine sauce. I got the veal Saltimbocca which also came with Marsala wine sauce. He got mashed potatoes on the side while I got pasta and sauce, and his steak was cook to medium perfection and soooo tender and flavorful. I loved my veal as well--we were both totally impressed with each other's dinners and couldn't decide who 'won' dinner for once! They have a good wine list as well as cocktail list, which I always appreciate. Next time we'll have to try dessert. You can sit in the dining room or tavern section--we were in the dining room. I did call to make reservations, as this place always seems to have tons of cars outside, but they weren't too necessary on a Tuesday night. It definitely is a more pricey restaurant, but we had a very nice time and are looking forward to going back. read more
