What a wonderful Italian restaurant! All the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially our waiter, Jack. Rarely do we have a waiter who will slow down to answer questions and have short conversations. He was also very professional and good at his job. The food was sensational! Too bad we couldn't have a sampler plate to try everything on the menu. Lol. We finished off our meal with the Crostada dessert, with berries under the ice cream!
We showed up on a springtime Saturday evening, all dressed up and resevationless. Luck would have it that there was a table clearing out, in the bar. Further good fortune; Macaluso's serves their full menu, in the bar!
Service was impeccably excellent, even with a full house; friendly, attentive, knowledgeable.
As per always, the eats were fantastic! For a simple, delectable starter, I recommend the arancini. We followed up with linguine vingole (noodles in olive oil, and lemon with streamed clams), and pasta arribiata ("angry" sauce). There was a rich, slightly sweet Lambrusco, by the glass, which paired well with the zesty spice of the arrabiata.
Macaluso's feels like dining with my enormous Italian-Ameican family, and I adore it!
Amazing food and equally fantastic service!!!
I love being able to leave raving reviews and this is one of them.
I've worked in the industry and I know what it takes to give great service and this was a treat!
Our servers knowledge of the menu, the specials, and how to tweak their menu to support varying food requirements was exceptional. The recommendations for dishes were great, they didn't go straight to the most expensive dish to boost tips. Our server truly recommended fantastic dishes and did a great job of pairing wines with the specific dishes ordered.
We had a larger group with a reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived. They were very accommodating with the kids which only helped make the evening that much better.
I have found a new favorite Italian restaurant! We will be back!
