When he complained to the to the manager he was berated with attitude and lectured about how expensive kosher food is. Meanwhile, countless of other places have larger portions and friendlier staff. Do your self a favor and skip this place.

They ordered 4 entrees to share, and soft drinks for everyone, and were told by the waiter that unless everyone ordered real food they would be charged $50 extra each. The waiter called the manager, who accused the girls of playing games and spoke to them so rudely that they left. This was not an issue related to other, possibly higher paying customers waiting for tables, as Cine Citta was mostly empty last night.We spoke with two other local families, who told us that their teenagers had similar experiences at Cine Citta in the recent past.Looking at Tripadvisor, Yelp and google reviews, it seems as if this type of customer service is not rare at Cine CItta.Not sure if management or owners at Cine Citta read these reviews...but if you do, please know that there are now several local families who will never again patronize your restaurant.

When we came in we were seated right away and our food came out impressively fast as well. We ordered the mozzarella fritters which were AMAZING and finished in about 30 seconds. For our first main we had the pasta with mushroomsand asked to have the peas removed which they did. The pasta was al denté typical in Italian cuisine. The mushrooms werefresh and the dish was tasty and easily finished. Our second main was the Margherita Pizza which did not look like the classicItalian style but was good nonetheless. Not too oily and not overdone. I was surprised it didn't come with any French fries orother side dish however we did not leave hungry. I would definitely eat here again and consider it to have better quality foodthan alot of the popular nearby competition. Thank you.

Great food. Customer Service needs to improve. Atmosphere and furniture requiere some renovation. read more Great food. Customer Service needs to improve. Atmosphere and furniture requiere some renovation.
