Cafesano serves up Mediterranean and Italian food and has options for vegetarian and gluten free food options. This is more of a fast food style place where you order, grab any available table and the food will be brought to your table by the server. Not knowing the place was this style, I had called them couple times in attempt to make reservations but no one called back at all - would have been great customer service to call back and inform no reservations was needed. The place looked good and food was fine. I got the falafel wrap with side salad, which was ok. My friends had a gluten free wrap, and a pasta dish and bruschetta.
I went with my husband and we had a wonderful experience. Reasonable prices. Food was delicious, we were able to build our own pasta with meatballs, gluten free pasta, shrimp and marinara sauce. Bread was awesome. Jose was an excellent waiter. THE MOST AMAZING PART was when they gave us for free small mint chocolate bars that were too delicious to be free. Finally, they had a super easy way to pay your bill with a tablet on the table. We will be back soon!
This might actually be the worst pizza I've ever had.
The dough was severely undercooked and made for a soft, floppy, disgusting pizza. The "Tre Formaggio" in particular was so unbelievable doughy that one of my co-workers actually gagged when it turned into a cheesy, gluten ball of chewing gum in his mouth. But the "Marco" was pretty bad too. Two doughy, undercooked pizzas aren't a mistake; It's a failure. Making pizza like this in America is frankly borderline treasonous. What's going on here Emilio? Is your "brick oven" unable to get above 150°F?
And the sauce and toppings. Fresh? Yeah, I believe so. It tasted okay and I liked the options and combinations you offer. But are you allergic to putting the toppings on the pizza? Or do you think a tablespoon of cheese is enough to cover a whole large pizza? When you make pizza that has crust the size of your forearm, maybe it's time to re-examine your business strategy and go into something else, like stand-up comedy so you can tell your jokes using words instead of food.
You also made zero attempt to cut the pizza in any kind of reasonable way, leaving some slices pencil thin, and others a full quarter of the pizza. Do I have to break out the Pythagorean theorem to share this pie with my co-workers? But that wouldn't really be much of an issue if the pizza was cut at all. It seems like they were content with lazily rolling a dull knife over our pie to draw a couple lines. It's totally possible that Emilio likes to do right by the community and only hire blind artists that weigh 70lbs to cut the pizzas, but I think it's far more likely that they don't care.
I'd even like to give you more leeway on the price, but $25 per pie?! For these pies?! Honestly, I feel robbed. I'd rather eat a week-old pizza from Pizza Hut off of one of their toilet seats than ever go near your restaurant again. I'd probably save some money too.
Buyer beware: there's a crook in town that say's they're selling pizza, but in reality, they peddle room-temperature Frisbees made of soft garbage. Their food causes suffering and regret, and their name is Emilio.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. They have a lot of seating choices including their covered patio. They have a bar area and also pretty good gluten free options.
We had a great server and the tables are not crammed next to each other so you don't feel like sardines in a can. Food was delicious and they have a decent selection of gluten free options, including a few apps and gelato for dessert. I gave them 4 stars for 2 reasons (1) we were not too impressed with their Manhattan (very watery) and (2) regular cup of coffee is not bottomless; it's delicious coffee, but I didn't think it was that great that we should pay for a refill.
They have amazing food and they cater to many different dietary needs; they have a user friendly menu for those seeking vegetarian, gluten free, etc options
The food was an interesting and delicious take on traditional Italian food definitely geared to the classic American palate. We tried the gnocchi which was resplendent with a rich cheesy sause and excellently prepared gnocchi (al dente - not too soft, not too hard). I suggest you pair it with their homemade sausages. We also tried a number of other dishes and everything we tried was succulent and satisfying. The gluten free pizza Cinque Terre was a surprise hit. Ask for Zachary as your waiter if you are looking for attentive service and a foodie's guide through their extensive menu.
Excellent atmosphere and value! The manager Sanjay was extremely accommodating to gluten-free menu adjustments. He has a high-level of awareness, understanding, and attentiveness to manage celiac allergies or sensitivities. Outstanding servicing and value. The food was phenomenal, excellent flavors, well-prepared, and large portions.
Nice variety of soups served hot, some are gluten-free. But for those who enjoy gluten, the French bread and multigrain bread served with the soup is outstanding -- fresh and I suppose what one might call artisan style. It's a clean place with an open atmosphere. You can sample a soup or two before you commit to an order, a big help given the variety they offer.
Thank you to Sam for ensuring my meal is gluten free and safe for me to eat! It is so very appreciated and she is a super kind person! Thanks again Sam!
