I loved everything that we ordered. The roasted cauliflower was spectacular. Nana's meat balls were awesome. The service was on point and the mixed drinks that my girlfriend and I ordered were delicious. Great experience overall
Went for a birthday celebration and the staff had a card waiting on the table. Service was wonderful and we had several staff check on us throughout the evening. We started with the zeppole and prosciutto di parma which melted in our mouths! The halibut was very good but the lasagne and squid ink pasta with lobster took it to the next level! Nice wine list although their wines are a bit pricey I will definitely go back!
I think all restaurant managers should have been chefs if Cal Mare's, Peter Oakes, Assistant General Manager, is an example of how that benefits patrons. This was a thoroughly enjoyable dinner at MGM Springfield's fine dining venue.
Not only is the management of Cal Mare superior, so is the thoughtful menu, the excellent ingredients (NO CANOLA!) and the selection of classic and upscale Italian dishes that provide something for everyone--even pizza.
I sampled Nana's meatballs, which seemed like the the kitchen must have been hiding an Italian grandmother to direct things like using grilled semolina bread for the binder. These meatballs were so delightful and delicious, you will want them every visit.
And the portions--well let's say two people could share this appetizer portion and be quite satisfied.
I also ordered the Brussels sprouts Agrodulce, which if you are unfamiliar with "dolce" will be a sweet surprise in an expertly prepared cabbage. Again, ample portion for two.
I also enjoyed one of Peter's amazing pumpkincello, his autumn version of a classic limoncello type after-dinner liquid confection. This was so good. Can't wait to see what he designs for Christmas, both food and drink specials.
Be sure to stop in, even is only for appetizers or drinks, but the entrees, salads and pizzas will also please. The atmosphere is a respite from casino frenzy, and has a modern ambiance.
