    Cardinale never disappoints. The calamari is divine, the vino superb, the pasta dishes were fresh, the gnocchi like pillows and the veal cooked to perfection. Chef’s kiss

    Cardinale is great. Reasonably priced food, great wine selection. Location is ideal for pre-hockey game meals or before a concert. Will continue to go for a great meal.
