Much more charm for sit down.

The service was wonderful: the waitresses were polite and on top of things, they made conversation and were very kind to us. Despite being an Italian restaurant they tried extremely hard to communicate with us and put an exceedingly impressive amount of effort and energy that was really heartwarming. The owner sat near us and talked to us including us in conversations. All of the food was of very high quality and was simply mouth watering. On top of all of that, the music and environment were very pleasant and fun. Would definitely go many many more times. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

To start, the serviceable staff is outstanding, as we were received with a nice glass of Prosecco, a smile, in this beautiful, charming family restaurant. The food carefully was catered to specific client requests.

As Americans we are accustomed to expect great food and service; and C'era Una Volta surely delivers in every aspect of the word "outstanding" but the value received for the quality and excellence of the overal experience makes my visit to this restaurant one that I will never forget...!
