I have only been here once, a recent trip for date night a few weeks back. I really like the restaurant (Fat Edd's) across the street that I have been told shares ownership. However, I was mildly disappointed with Cordavino's. The best thing we ate was the garlic cheese bread, but the pizza was much too doughy, almost as though it was under cooked. When we heated it left over, it was better. Also, someone cooking a steak at their table over cooked it and it smelled the restaurant up pretty strong. Ultimately, I would give it another try. Staff was great!Parking: Curbside parking was close and good.

I’ll start by saying I’ve had the pizza here and it’s alright.Recently, our family each ordered a pasta dish - spaghetti, fettuccini alfredo with chicken, four cheese tortellini and the chicken carbonara. I never ever thought I would say Fazolis has better pasta than an “Italian Grill”. Also, the breadstick that comes with your pasta tasted like it was heated in the microwave. No flavor, over priced food and less than mediocre environment and underwhelming experience.Our waitress was really nice and by no means is this review a dig at the wait staff. Just save your money and make pasta at home. Definitely don’t waste your hard earned dollars.

Love their lunch menu! Service is fast and food is excellent. The Italian Sub is my favorite and the House salad dressing is wonderfully refreshing. Mushroom appetizer was out of this world! Must have for sure.

Went on a whim & wasn’t impressed at all. The service was poor starting with the hostess who sat us at our table. We were strongly discouraged from ordering from the black stone grill. The meatballs had no flavor & reminded me of an off brand frozen entree that was cooked then let go cold then reheated in the microwave. And my entree was so awful (Fettuccine Bestecca) I tried one bite & refused to eat anymore. I get it had blue cheese but the whole thing especially the Alfredo sauce tasted like the dairy had turned!!

Cordavino’s had been recommended to us by a friend. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty the food was. The cheese bread was fresh and just crispy enough. We really enjoyed our ribeyes, they were seasoned well.As a first time customer, I wish there was more interaction from the staff. “Is this your first time with us?”, suggestions, or instructions for cooking the steak would have been nice. We only realized after we finished our meal there was a paper tent on the table with instructions on how to cook the steak, bites vs whole steak. Additionally, for a slow evening… the service was lackluster. We didn’t receive refills on our drinks and the checking out process was a little long. We sat there for quite a while with empty drinks and dirty dishes waiting for the server to pick up our check.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu was about average!

I've heard of Cordavino's for several years so we finally decided to make the one hour drive and give it a try. Service was friendly but not efficient. We would have to ask to have empty appetizer and salad plates removed. No big deal but i decided the young lady was not that experienced but she was very nice and sweet. I ordered iced tea and everyone else got water. I might as well had done the same. The tea was barely above water, there was only a slight hint of tea flavor. It was the weakest tea I've ever drank. We ordered the seafood dip and some wings for an appetizer. The wings were great with both blue cheese and ranch for dipping. None of the four of us could eat the seafood dip. It had a tremendous bad fishy taste. We all are seafood lovers but we just couldn't eat the dip. Two in our group ordered the shrimp and scallop black rock entree. The waitress came back later and said they only had enough shrimp for one so one of the two only got scallops. Such things can happen but it is disappointing. The salads were good but nothing special. After a pretty good wait, nothing extreme, we got our entrees. The biggest issue here was our baked potatoes were barely warm at best. Actually they were next to cold. They wouldn't melt the butter when applied. The black rock experience was not one that I cared for. I ordered the ribeye. I want to enjoy a steak cooked the way I like it. With the rock I started off at rare and ended with well done. I won't ever order that type presentation ever again no matter the which restaurant I'm at. We had a little trouble with our bill because they had charged for two entrees with scallops and shrimp. They kindly corrected it and that was great. I left with this, I might go back and try an Italian dish but it might be a while if I ever do.

Always clean. Steaks are second to none. Love this place!
Food was delicious, I think the lasagna has just a little too much sauce but to each his own. The calzone was awesome. We got a to go order and took about 20 min longer than was stated bit otherwise we would eat there again.
