Cantalini's Salerno Beach is a mixed bag of experiences, with some diners loving the authentic Italian cuisine and others feeling disappointed by the lackluster food and chaotic service. The restaurant has received both rave reviews and scathing critiques. Some customers were thrilled with their meals, praising the delicious dishes such as the portobello ravioli and homemade butternut squash ravioli. Others were let down by the bland steak, unimpressive lasagna, and cafeteria-style Italian food. The service received mixed feedback, with some guests lauding the attentive and friendly staff, while others complained about chaotic and disorganized service during their visit. Despite the varying opinions, many customers appreciated the unique atmosphere of Cantalini's Salerno Beach, with some describing it as quirky and romantic. Overall, opinions on this Italian eatery ranged from highly recommending it as a neighborhood gem to advising others to pass it up and try the next spot.
