My food was delicious. The service was amazing, friendly and cordial. I can say that I would go back a thousand times, eating outside is magical, although the restaurant is really big inside. And also very nice. I love that they put Parmesan cheese on the table, it’s one of the things I appreciate when eating pasta.

Amazing Easter Celebration! We celebrated Easter here with a party of 45, and I can honestly say the service was impeccable. The staff covered everything seamlessly, staying on top of every detail to ensure our experience was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious-cooked exactly the way everyone wanted, and it all came out hot and fresh. The bartender made sure everyone had their drinks and stayed well taken care of throughout the event. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. We all had a wonderful time, and will definitely be returning!

Had a great time at Cena 081. It’s the perfect spot for any occasion—whether you’re celebrating a birthday with friends, having a big group gathering, or just looking for a nice place for date night. The space is roomy, so even with all the energy from different celebrations, it never felt too crowded or overwhelming. Plus, they have a bar, which is always a plus! The service was great and I loved that the chef even came out to greet guests—it really added a personal touch. I noticed a lot of groups having a great time, but it still felt like a spot where you could enjoy a more intimate dinner if that’s what you’re looking for. Definitely a place I’d come back to!

The customer service is friendly. The servers are attentive and happy to assist you in ordering authentic Italian cuisine. My favorite appetizer is the beef wellington with its soft, crisp crust and seasoned mushroom layer. Their cannoli is the best. Their large cannolis have smooth and creamy filling that melts in your mouth. While you wait on your meal, you have time to digest their romantic outdoor scenery filled with artistic water fountains.

Pasta is my favorite food and hands down this place had THE best pasta I have EVER had in my life. My husband and I shared the Forma Di Parmigiano Cacio E Pepe for two. The flavor was out of this world. I couldn’t stop eating it even after I was full. The cheese was so creamy and the flavor was so satisfying. We followed up our meal with the espresso martini and tiramisu which was also amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and were very welcoming. We sat outside and their was a beautiful waterfall and floral hanging decor that looked so beautiful as the sun started setting. I highly recommend this place. I live far away but would definitely make the trip back just to eat here.

Very nice Italian restaurant. Staff was helpful and friendly. Outdoor seating was on point. The inside is nicely decorated and bigger than it looks from out on Post Ave. Wine selection was excellent, bottle prices a little high however. Food was on point and quickly prepared. The chicken wings with peppers and onions were delicious as was the eggplant. Appetizer portions slightly small. For main courses all of the pasta was perfectly cooked to "just" Al dente level as it should be. Portions were huge. My brother got the Sunday sauce with all the various meats in it and it was the show stopper of the night. Dessert menu was a bit lacking. If you can eat outside and don't spending a bit of coin I'd certainly recommend this place.

First time here. It was recommended to me by a friend. We had one of the specials -which was a 2 pound lobster with assorted seafood over linguine with a light red seafood sauce. It was delicious.

Just stopped by for a quick bite, got 2 appetizers and was very satisfied. Their octopus salad was very original amd a flavor explosion!! The most tender octopus it cut with a fork, then you have the sweet peppers, the tart olives and the cool tomatoes was the most amazing bite!!! And then the baked clams , you get a nice amount and they are super tasty. Nice frosted glass for your beer and 2 different flavors or dipping oil for the great bread. This place is always good for a great meal.
