We joined 2 other couples who had never been to the CIA and they really loved the experience. My husband and I have been to the Culinary several times previously and this time was just as awesome! The choice of food in each category was vast and diverse. I am a vegan and my husband is gluten free. I enjoyed the shredded Brussel sprout salad with lemony vinegrette and the vegetables with farro & mushroom entree. My husband loved the roasted potatoes and roasted chix with gluten free pumpkin cake for dessert. My only suggestion for the future is to offer a vegan option for dessert.

We had a wonderful dinner at Caterina de Medici! The pizza was great - very thin crust and great sauce. My wife's salad was excellent also. The zuppa di pesce was a delight; the fish were all very fresh and tasty and the soup was the perfect compliment. The scallops were outstanding also - just like eating on Cape Cod. Dessert was the tiramisu which was a nice light ending to the meal. The bread and wine were great also; we'll be back for another special dinner soon!

We had a wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary here last night. Loved walking on campus as well as dining at the restaurant. It was a beautiful experience overall in every category. Loved the fact that the noise level was so quiet. Don’t like to dine at places where it’s super noisy

CIA is a great place to visit. Not only enjoy the food but they have a geogorous landscape. My slight disappointment was that some of the dishes needed more flavor. Now I understand that it's difficult when balancing the dish. But you are the "CIA" always striving for the best! This was our anniversary of 37 years. I didn't expect the card signed by students for my wife, which she loved, and I thank you. 🙏
