Our Guestbook
“ We've had dinner here on several occasions and hosted two family parties at La Cambusa. Anthony and his staff (especially Elise) are excellent. They were very accommodating for both of the parties I hosted there and go out of their way to help with set-up and decorating. Few places go out of their way like this to help with set-up. Elise even came in extra early for us to accommodate deliveries and decor drop offs. All our guests raved about the food and ambiance at the restaurant. Anthony is very fair with his customers and really provides an over-the-top menu with lots of great options for parties at a very reasonable price point. Food is high quality and plentiful. Elise takes excellent care of the guests and is super helpful. Highly recommend. 5 star food and service. ”
“ Always excellent here. Service is top-notch. Anthony is a great host. Elise is alwsys makes us feel special with all of the different hats that she wears Always excited to see what their specials are as there's always something very special! Yesterday was the 3 smoked fishes that was amazing. We look forward to the seafood salad appetizer when they have it as well. And the octopus and garlic shrimp appetizers are staples for us. As for entrees, the shrimp Francese is the best you will ever find. Fresh homemade pasta that is along with it. And there are so many other entrees that we love. Consistently excellent Italian food ”
“ Everything was excellent! Would definitely recommend for lunch dinner or special occasion. Great food and people ”
“ Excellent employees make an excellent company. Italian food excellent but limited fish dishes. ”
“ Always amazing food and great service!! We have been coming here for years. We used to frequent their previous location in Garfield. ”
“ We were party of four on Saturday night. The place was not as busy as thought they will be. They have a small bar area as you walk in but it is a BYOB. We were seated in the back room and I liked that the tables have plenty of space between them and is not cramped up. Their menu is very small (see pictures), they also have daily specials that the waiter went over. The service was great and very attentive. Their portions are on a smaller side. The fried calamari was great, soft and fried perfectly. The filet of sole special was tasty but again very small portion. Their Vitello Al Porcini lacked flavor and the meat was a little tough. ”
“ We live locally so were eager to try this place. Came here with another couple on a Friday evening. Restaurant is really cute! There's a back area so it's bigger than it seems. Service started off slow - maybe they were a little understaffed. Once we had a server, she was really sweet and helpful! Food was good - very fresh! Had calamari, garlic shrimp, lemon chicken, veal. It's BYOB even though they have a bar area. Ended the meal with a cappuccino which was really good! We would definitely go back but maybe on a slower evening or for lunch. ”
“ Excellent food, service and friendly atmosphere! The shrimp franchise was so delicious! Won't hesitate to go back!! Cindy D. ”
“ From the easy reservations to the exceptional service to the amazing cuisine, La Cambusa never disappoints. The ambiance is sophisticated yet casual. It feels like a visit to your Italian family or friends on Sunday. The food is as authentic as it gets believe me I know. The apps, the cheeses, the pasta, and especially the fishes are all prepared freshly and daily. The Ingredients are all top notch. The service is attentive and accommodating. We are here a few times a month and all of our special events are held here in the beautiful back room. Definitely give it a try you will become addicted too lol 5/5 ”
