We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Calandra's celebrating our wedding rehearsal dinner. We booked the "Wine Room" for our party, and it was absolutely lovely. It felt like we were eating in a wine cellar in Italy. Our server was kind, courteous, prompt, and attentive, striking up conversation throughout the evening. The food was absolutely wonderful. Salad, Cavatelli with broccoli and sausage, chicken franchese, eggplant rollatini, and the best cannoli cake I've ever eaten. Our guests are still raving about how excellent the food was! Couldn't have had a better experience, and we will use them again for family events. Loved it!

Came here after a recommendation from a friend. Food was great. Higher price point for sure. But they’re using quality products. I only wish the bread they used was a bit softer and not so hard. Italian Sandwich was great with the addition of pesto. The bakery was awesome. Got some pastel de nata and some tiramisu. The baked goods were excellent.

I can't say enough good things about this it's like walking through Italy a beautiful everything in one Deli with everything you can dream of a real brick oven pizza and the bakery to die for meat pies cookies gelato cupcakes pies cannolis OMG and I have not been to their restaurant but I'm sure it will not disappoint the smells coming from there were amazing if you have not been this is a must go to for the New Jersey experience of what Italiana is

I came here for the cake tasting, it was a cute setup in the bakery section. They had so many flavors and you could choose two drinks. They had a beautiful rose background. It was good for a girls casual get together! Everyone was really nice to us.

I never take the time to review ,but I have been to every deli in NJ . How is it possible a pre made sandwich with no meat is $18 ??? the bread is cold and hard since it's sitting in a chilled cooler pre made ...and this is a bakery who's bread is good in the supermarket??? I should have known since it was empty at 12:15. also no prices on the board ! I also got a grilled chicken broccoli rabe and mutz . Again you don't see any chicken , and this is $18?? If it was good I would understand but it was not. Unbelievable!

We do the family meal deal several times a month, oh my goodness do you get your moneys worth! Such a plentiful amount of food and for a good price. You won't regret it. So my faves: rice balls app, penne vodka pasta, Caesar salad and main we have done almost all the options: top are the chicken francese, chicken Marsala and salmon. The wine is an additional $10 so don't sleep on that. And when you pick up get dessert and pretend you cooked the entire thing yourself. Win win

Great experience at Calandra's. Very friendly and courteous staff. Food was tasteful, and the sangria was a two thumbs up. Will definitely return. I returned last night and was impressed once again.
Amazing restaurant and bakery. Take a time trip back to old Italy. All kinds of inside and outside seating arrangements.

Absolute BEST pastries around!! I look forward to my weekly stops. I would say the top five pastries in order that are a must are the Chocolate mousse bombs, Lobster tails, Tiramisu, Cannolis, and the ABSOLUTE best napoleons around!!! Of course an honorable mention to the pignoli cookies!! I love to get a bunch of the options and do a little taste testing with all my friends! Great choice if you want some yummy edible happiness!!

Tuesday is half price pasta night which brings the pasta down to a reasonable price. Also half price on Calandras’s wines. We have gone for dinner and to the bar area quite a few times.They have a pizza oven and kids eat free on Wednesdays. They have very good cocktails. During nice weather there is an outside bar. Attached is a big bakery with many desserts and cakes etc. it’s a nice spot.
