"Cinelli's is unquestionably the go-to spot for Penne alla Vodka and tiramisu! From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. Since it was my first visit, I was struck by all the positive reviews and had a hard time making a choice. Our waiter suggested the Penne alla Vodka, and when I mentioned I was vegetarian, he confidently told me it wouldn't be an issue and that they could prepare it without meat. I'm so glad I took his recommendation—being vegetarian, it was a true delight! After dinner, I ordered the tiramisu and again, WOW! This is hands down the best version of it I've ever had, and that's saying something as I often seek out this dessert at restaurants. Trust me; you won’t be disappointed!"

I absolutely love their food, ambiance, and staff. It's a fantastic place for Italian cuisine, and my family enjoys coming here.
Marjory
Their grandma slice was the bomb! Penne a la vodka was alright but hated the fact that I found a piece of bacon bit in it and I'm not aloud to have bacon due to religious reasons. View menu
Moe
The food was amazing! I had the shrimp scampi, grandma pizza, and a house salad. The restaurant offers a spacious and pleasant atmosphere, and the on-site parking is really convenient. I definitely recommend it!
Adolfo
The portion sizes at the event I attended with my family were rather small and didn’t seem to match the price. The owner has a delightful personality and captures a classic Old School Italian spirit, but the staff was generally a bit unfriendly, with the exception of one employee who was very pleasant.
Tomasa
I visited the restaurant recently, and I have to say, the pizza kitchen leaves a lot to be desired. The service is quite slow, and the crust, which is a crucial element of any pizza, lacks flavor—it's more like tasting plain flour. They really need to improve their understanding of what makes a great pizza. I would rate it 2.5 stars. If there are any improvements in the future, I’ll be sure to update my review. View menu

I'll start by saying that the food here is excellent. The pizza, rolls, and chicken wings are all delicious. However, the way I was treated when placing my order left a bad impression. The staff was rude and unprofessional. If you are answering the phone, it would be beneficial to learn some basic manners. I am quite shocked and disappointed by the lack of basic courtesy. That being said, I want to emphasize once more that the food is truly great.

I visited for the first time on Saturday and, unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I ordered a dish that had mushrooms in it, which I’m allergic to, so I had to throw it away. I couldn’t address the issue that day because I was looking forward to my meal on Monday. When I returned today, I mentioned that my pasta sauce contained mushrooms, but they didn’t even apologize for the oversight. They just shrugged it off as if it didn’t matter. I also ordered a pizza for my partner, and while it was decent, I won’t be ordering any pasta dishes from them again after this incident. I would have given them five stars, but because of the mushroom issue, I’m only giving them three.
