We walked here after seeing a play at the Curran! The place is small but cozy. We had the pear salad, meatballs and got the main entrees - lasagna, gnocchi and a clam linguine. Everything was delicious. The waiter suggested an Italian wine that was wonderful with the dinner and no headache the next day. For desert, we had lemon cake and cream brûlée! The brûlée was extra delicious!

Went for an anniversary dinner before going to a play (two major theaters are 2 blocks away). It was a lovely meal. Salad appetizers were excellent (I had one with prosciutto and melon) and our main courses were delicious. I had a lobster ravioli special and my wife had gnocchi special. Not lo-cal but very tasty and filling. No room for dessert. I hadn’t been to Cesario’s for years but will return soon, I’m sure. Service was prompt (got to the theater early) and ambiance is friendly and not noisy.
