   We have been going to Candelari’s for many years; the food has always been great, but the recent update to the environment has made it even more enjoyable. Great food, great people, great prices!

   Always love the ambiance and food but disappointed the deep dish pizza is no longer offered as that was the dinner we were after and it’s not easy to find in Houston.

   Lovely restaurant with a patio as well. Family friendly, but also a cute spot for date night. The chicken fettucine alfredo was very good. My aunt ordered the red snapper with lump crab meat and it was AMAZING! The cheesy garlic bread was also very good! The hostess gave a lot a of recommendations' on the menu and our waitress was very sweet and provided great service. We drive all the way from Sugar Land so you know we love it! :) Mitch Jacobs is great and plays during Sunday Brunch...would definitely recommend!

   Went for Houston restaurant week, but will definitely be back again. Food was delicious. I had crab meat tortellini. It was delicious , especially the sauce . Had pistachio and double chocolate chip gelato for dessert. Yum! I was told their gelato, pastas , and most of their sauces are all made in house. service was friendly and attentive. Prices were good. Everyone in our party decided we want to come back again.

   We have been going to Candelari’s for many years and always enjoy the food, and entire experience. Their recent upgrade in environment, i.e., table cloths, flowers, reservations, only make the experience better!
