Customer Reviews
The wings are amazing. Decent in size and flavor. However, I wish they had a dry rub to offer. The Cesar salad was decent. We had ordered mozzarella cheese sticks when we ordered our other food but it was not given to us until we asked for the check. Obviously this was forgotten and we were still charged when our order was forgotten.
The truffle pizza was not good. There was no cheese and A LOT of onions and mushrooms and no cheese. It was incredibly disappointing. The meatballs were good and so was the sauce. The bartender Kelly was nice, polite, and friendly and also had good drink recommendations.
We go once a week sometimes more in warmer weather. Their Patio is a place that makes you want to stay till closing time. Love the live music. Wine and drinks are great. BUT the FOOD the best. The chef is passionate about his menu. Pizza is great. Love Gigi's *Parpadella* and Shrimp Great atmosphere. Love SAM & GIGI!! the owners
Went on a cold afternoon looking for warm soup. Ordered the French onion soup. Okay noticed covered with Swiss not Gruyère but remembered having years ago and ordered. Totally inedible! Okay it was warm but salt filled chicken stock not beef and glutinous globs of cheese. The little bread squares were delicious and lunch. Waitress verified chicken stock and graciously removed from bill but I left hungry and very disappointed.
My family has been going to Cilento for 10 years. The food is consistently outstanding but what makes it special is the warmth of Sam, Gigi, and staff. They recently catered a repast for my late husband-the food was wonderful as usual, but they went out of their way to treat us like family and helped ease a difficult time. Looking forward to another 10+ years!
