    What a delight. This was my fourth visit to Claudio’s Table and what a fabulous experience. I initially went when they first opened was disappointed - too noisy, not what I was hoping for. Oh my, have they figured EVERYTHING out. The staff was excellent: kind, friendly, helpful, warm - really A+, the food absolutely delicious from the focaccia to the pasta to the salads and dessert. The cavatelli with sausage and rapini is to die for. The noise level is totally fine, it’s busy and energetic and you can easily carry on a conversation at your table in normal voice tones. We could not have been happier. Bravo Claudio’s Table.
