Candela Cucina

I visited Candela Cucina as a part of a company outing. I believe we had a set menu due to our large group size. We started out with some good appetizers. Then we moved on to main courses. I ordered the salmon! It was fresh and paired with some tasty vegetables. Then to finish off the night I ordered the tiramisu cake and espresso. Both fantastic. Additionally, the service was great our our server always made sure my drink was filled! Great spot.

Loved this new Italian restaurant in downtown New Bedford! Great food and atmosphere! A great place to celebrate something special! $$$$ but worth it!

We're back again at Candela, and as usual, we're blown away by the incredible dining experience! We've been frequenting this spot often, and every visit reinforces why we love it so much. Everything on the menu tastes fresh, and the consistency is top-notch. The drinks are equally impressive. But let's talk about Ray - he's the real star! Our amazing waiter, Ray, always goes above and beyond to make our dining experience unforgettable. His service is top-notch, and his passion for the food and the restaurant shines through in everything he does. We've had the pleasure of having Ray as our server multiple times, and he never fails to impress. If you're planning to dine here, ASK FOR RAY - you won't be disappointed! He's the secret ingredient that makes Candela truly special. Candela is on

Very inviting atmosphere. Bar area, indoor and covered patio outdoor seating. Nicely decorated with table or banquet seating. Very quit. Servers are very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious especially Chicken parm. Large wine list and custom cocktails. Definitely worth a visit.

My husband and I went here for dinner last night and it was fantastic. The service is on point, food comes out quickly and the waitress we had was very nice. Drinks are amazing. I believe one of the owners was there and came to say hi to us and made sure we were enjoying everything. I will definitely be making this a choice place for a dinner date in the future.
