Clemenza's at Uptown

“my wife and i dined here for our anniversary and we had such a great time! we made reservations ahead of time and were seated right away. host was kind and our server was professional and friendly. for appetizers, we ordered the calamari and the focaccia. the calamari was delicious. it was crispy, tender, and well seasoned. the focaccia bread was what seems like their pizza dough without toppings. although delicious, we were expecting that iconic focaccia shape with the dimples on it. for mains we got the linguine frutti di mare in a garlic wine sauce, and the lasagna. the frutti di mare was great. lots of seafood and the sauce was so good. i could’ve dipped my bread in it. the lasagna is one of the best lasagnas i’ve ever had at a restaurant. huge portion and super flavorful. for dessert, we had the cannoli and that was alright. nothing too special. we should’ve gotten the tiramisu but we can get that the next time we visit! overall, a great experience with great staff, and even better food.”

“Everything was so good, I always wish with Bruschetta that you'd get a cup of the tomato's and slices of bread to avoid soggy bread but their tomato's are great, the burrata was great and the Parmigiana was large and the veal parmigiana is so tasty. Need to try this place for sure. That pappardelle is crazy good, like crazy good. The caprese is fine. Great mozz good seasoning could use better tomato’s but I’m going to keep ordering it.”

“Great service from Odaine, atmosphere cozy. Good for a date or birthday dinner. Rosoto with short ribs was excellent. Prime rib was cooked perfect, but the potatoes with it were dry. The grouper was cooked perfect but mushy with the breading. Lobster noodles were good but not great. The cocktails were really good too. Beef appetizer with cheese and fried capers, can't relent the name, was excellent.”

“Great little gem! We were seated promptly seated. They make a fantastic negroni! The chicken piccata was wonderful. We also tried the spaghetti which was wonderful as well. We look forward to returning to try the pizza.”

“We stopped by yesterday craving some good Italian food, and wow! this place never disappoints. I’ve been here before, but this time the service was on another level. Our server, Paulo, was absolutely exceptional super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special.
