My Mom & Sister threw my bridal shower at il Vecchio Cafe in the main dining room along the back windows, we had such an amazing time! All of my guests kept talking about how beautiful the dining room was with all the natural light coming in. We had a buffet with antipasto, salad, penne vodka, chicken parm, salmon with bruschetta, and OMG everything was beyond delicious! Now on to the cake and pastries OMG mouth watering! So happy with everything! I can not wait for Calandra's Bakery to make my wedding cake!

I had my birthday party in La Taverna Lounge inside Calandra's Italian Village and it was amazing! The food was great, the service was great & the music was great. I can't wait to go back for a date night with my fiancé and soon to be HUSBAND!

I had my baby shower here and wow this place is top notch. From the delicious food to the service and the atmosphere, everything was perfect. My party had nothing but good things to say about it. If you have an important event coming up, I highly recommend this place! Side note- their tiramisu is out of this world, best i’ve ever had by a long shot.

We had our son's baptism at the village. Perfect venue - the setting, food, and service was wonderful! The cake was made right in their bakery, which was super convenient (and delicious)!

Celebrated our 40th high school reunion at Calandras. Sue and the staff worked so hard to make it a total success ! The food was delicious and the cake was better! Every detail was covered from the event space to the table linens in our school colors to the cake made with our school logo all at a great price Highly recommend

My parents had their 50th wedding anniversary at Il Vecchio Cafe in Calandra's Italian Village. My parents were born and raised in Italy, so meeting their expectations when it comes to food is sometimes difficult! Everything was absolutely delicious and everyone raved about it, from the bread, to the appetizers, to the meal... it was all amazing and delicious! Silvio and our waitresses were amazing to work with! Outside there is an outdoor patio and bar and took us back to Italy! Everything was perfect!
