Claudiana Italian Restaurant

Always love this place. We had a party of 13 and everyone raved about their meal. Great Italian sauce and wonderful customer services. Makes you feel like your part of family.

The food is nicely prepared, service is more than satisfactory, the atmosphere is "large TV that you can't get away from".We'd eat here much more often if it wasn't for the large screen TV behind the bar. Half of the diners must face the screen... The atmosphere would be increased remarkedly if the TV were least turned off for dinner. Hardly anyone sits at the bar.

Let's just say it's a nice place for a date night. Low lights low music good food. Very nice. It was a little chilly but it was bearable. The service was very nice. Reservation should always be used. The one thing I would like would be higher booths so it feels more intimate. Some people still talk very loudly and it can be distracting. Our candle at the table didn't get lit but our server was great. The red sauce was creamy and the veggies were fresh. The cannoli was very good also. Parking was easy. I truly enjoyed the low lighting.

I must say..I had higher expectations coming here. I was not impressed at all. It is in the middle of a random strip mall. I understand they are trying to be fancy, but it is just not happening. The staff was a bit odd. The bread shouldn't be the best part of my meal. They made it aware that if we wanted bread, it was 25 cents per roll..kinda chincy for a white table cloth place. My parents split a bottle of Chardonnay..they liked it. We ordered Calamari as an app. I probably have had better Calamari at Red Lobster. It was definitely frozen or at least not fresh by any means. I got a Chicken Pasta dish. I make better chicken at home. Nothing had flavor to the dish. I was very disappointed, especially with the prices. I will not be back here for what my parents bought compared to what we received. None of us were really happy with the meal. We are glad we tried it, but will not be back.

I'm giving it 2 stars because the server was really nice, and the ambiance was pretty good- attractive inside, with Italian music playing. It's 1 star food, with 4 star service and a 5 star price.You get one piece of hard bread a person, and have to pay extra every time you get another piece of bread. The food wasn't very good- especially considering how much the bill was. It was almost $225 w/tip for 3 people.The salmon was very dry and bland- I had to ask for a side of sauce to make it palatable. The ravioli was supposed to have ground beef in it, but you couldn't even tell there was meat in there. We let the server know about the lack of meat, and she said they buy the raviolis, so sometimes they're like that. The special risotto was good, as was the tiramisu.I think they have a good mix of entrees- the concept is good, they just need to get fresher ingredients, and season their food . And there is no way they should be charging $20 for the ravioli. It was supposed to have ground beef, but there was hardly any (we couldn't find any). It was approx 10 small raviolis, which they didn't even heat it up all the way. You could tell they Just boiled them quickly (not long enough), and then poured a little red sauce on them. Very bland.We were so excited when we walked in- it smelled so good, the service was friendly, and it was welcoming inside. But we won't be going back.

Truly authentic Italian cuisine. The entire family must work there. They make you feel like you are one of the family as well. The recipes are well fed out and served with style. This place is also great for events.

Ok ..not nearly the Italian family style I am accustom to.Pretty light Thursday night crowd. Quaint inside, extra charge for more bread..hmmm that's bizarre and no corkage fees allowed if you bring in your own wine. Again...strange! Ok wine menu.. limited selection available from menu. Quality not great.Ordered arricini...fried risotto..heavy on cheese.Veal and chicken piccata just ok..all pastas coldRisotto Milanese very heavy and overly cheese...lobster poor tasting in risotto. Tiny scallops..few shrimp. 38.00Chicken alla Vera ( or something like that) chicken ok, poor pasta presentation ..cold and stiffDesserts were ok.Just not the comfy, family quality and customer service we were hoping for.Got spoiled at ocean club in Easton a night before.I think there are other options for you to choose from.

Yelp never steers you wrong! I looked over all the reviews and pictures before making a reservation here. So, I kind of knew what to expect. I called in late in the week for a Saturday night reservation and was lucky enough to get one from Bruna. So it all started well. The place is exactly how it's described - a quaint, more upscale restaurant, situated in an unassuming strip mall in Polaris. The clientele looked like it was more of be an older generation. We were seated right away, and the staff seemed very friendly. Our waiter, Andrew, was very good. He knew the menu well and guided us through our choices, along with describing the specials of the night. He basically helped me pick my drink and also my entrée. Our table opted for the house red (my choice), a Moscato spritzer, and an Italian beer. Bread service was offered shortly thereafter. Slowly, people started to come in for dinner, and it got kind of crazy. We were in the back room with several large tables, and it got pretty loud. It was never too overwhelming for us though, so we were still fine. Our entrées all arrived in a timely fashion. There's really nothing too fancy to note about the plating. I thought the food was well done however, nothing extraordinary, except for the homemade pasta. That was fantastic. It was very light and smooth. One thing you may want to know is it's not cooked al dente. This was a bit of a disappointment for my son, but he said it was fine. The entree that caused problems was my chicken Parmesan. The chicken was raw on the inside. From the texture of it, I could also tell that it seemed frozen and not fresh. It took a bit get our waiter, because again it was quite busy. When he did come, he was apologetic and asked if I wanted it taken off the bill or another one. I opted for another one, but only if, it came out within a reasonable time before the rest of my party was done. It did come out quite fast. However, I think they may have cooked it a little over this time because the chicken was tough. I didn't wanna make a big deal about it, so I just let it go. strangely, there was no other compensations offered for my inconvenience pass the apology. Typically, other more customer service oriented dining establishments would've offered a complementary drink or dessert, if not comping the entree. Nbd though, since I wasn't going to nitpick during a special occasion dinner. I asked for additional bread and butter, while I waited for my entrée to be redone, but was told there was an additional fee for extra bread service. Again, very odd to nickel and dime bread especially under this circumstance. But again, whatever. All in all, I'd say the ambiance is nice, parking is plentiful and convenient, staff was friendly and efficient, food was good but not fantastic, and I like the fact it's a small business & family owned. I wouldn't say the food matches some of the "hidden gem" hype around this place and I definitely felt alittle annoyed about their semi stingy policies, all of which have been pointed out by other Yelp reviewers. I probably would have given them one more star if my meal came out better, or if they had handled it in a more munificent manner.

Our second time here and we love this place. Everything was amazing again. Delicious food, great service and a super cozy atmosphere. The Bomba dessert was especially phenomenal!

Pretty expensive for average italian food. Maybe I went on a bad night, because I had high hopes after over heating other patrons conversation about the food. I was a bit disappointed with my meal, but i would give it another try! The restaurant was a bit deceiving from the outside but was nice on the inside.
