In Short
The interior of this humble neighborhood storefront features a long open kitchen and dining room filled with granite tabletops and worn wooden chairs. The menu offers simple Italian dishes prepared without fuss. Starts include potato croquettes, a traditional Caesar salad and an insalata al caprino made with Bibb lettuce, roasted garlic and goat cheese. Pasta dishes and thin-crusted pizzas are house favorites, as is the tiramisu.

We've visited Canele numerous times and loved it--late night, early evening, brought guests from out of town--we've considered it a gem we could count on. Two weeks ago we arrived late and our waitress, a tall and skinny blonde woman, proceeded to huff at us and do her best to ignore us throughout the dinner. She made it clear that our very presence annoyed her, although we don't think we asked very much of her nor did we want to get in the way of her serving other guests. It took a long time to order drinks and it took even longer to receive them. It was shocking to be treated so poorly, especially at such a beautiful restaurant. Unfortunately the food matched the service that night. With the exception of the beef, everything was mediocre. The uninteresting food didn't merit the price. We're hoping Canele can improve so we can come back. It appears previous reviewers have mentioned a similar service problem. We hope it can be addressed soon.

I love it when you can go have an amazing meal either dressed up or in your flip flops. Wonderful neighborhood bistro type of place. French inspired - but eclectic and interesting. Save room for your canele at the end! Open kitchen provides a lovely, cozy warmth to the space.

Know Before You Go:
As the evening wears on, the place fills up, and with only one or two people on the floor, service is slow but pleasant.
