Customer Reviews

I've been to Canelli's a couple of times since it opened and I haven't been disappointed. The food is good basic Italian with plenty of flavor. The menu is really varied- you're sure to find something you like. The hard part is choosing! The very best thing is the friendly comfortable atmosphere. Ken & Ellie make you feel like family and the waitstaff couldnt be nicer or try harder to please. If you're looking for an easy comfort-food kind of place, go to Canelli's. You won't be disappointed. Check out the beautiful bar!!. - C.D., Yarmouth
