Review below is no longer acute! Service and food have suffered greatly and the prices are up! Plates sat on our table for 45 min!! Food is surprisingly good for what the place looks like! If you wanna go and have a few cheap rounds of drinks and hang out at the bar, this is your spot!

We enjoyed such a great meal outdoors on a beautiful night! It was our first time at Bar Cilento and we can’t wait to come back. The Pizza was a fantastic starter for the group and the entrees were delicious.

My in laws were looking for a place to hold a rehearsal dinner for my husband and I this past fall. Not being from the area they stumbled into Bar Cilento, let me tell you I am happy they did! I can not say enough great things about the staff, owners and the food! They were attentive, friendly and made us all feel so welcome. They even had a cute little menu printed up with our names on it, such a cute touch. Our families and bridal party all talked about what a nice night they had and how great the food was. We will definitely be going back when we are back in the area!

We chose Bar Cilento for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was the best decision! From the decor to the food, so many said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Sam, Geraldine and their daughter Irene did an incredible job and the staff was just amazing! The food is always wonderful at Bar Cilento and it was even better on my special night! The appetizers were served butler style then there was the amazing buffet for dinner which was loved by all! Thank you to Sam, Geraldine, Irene, the chefs, bartenders and servers for making sure our special day will always be remembered by us and our guests!

What a lovely surprise. We went there based on a recent recommendation from a friend. I felt like I was at someone's wonderful backyard family party. The owners are so warm and friendly and the food is fantastic. Do(!!!) Order the eggplant fries...they are so delicious. Wonderful homemade pastas, great salads, there is really something for everyone. Can't wait to return.

Great service, great beer selection. The burger flavors were great but the bun was dry.. as a burger fan thats not good! Sorry guys but dont miss the basics. Again the flavor fantastic!!!! Finally the bar had some guys really loud saying the f word 100 times so better to sit outside if you are with kids

My brother wanted to propose to his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day and he asked the owners if he could use a tent outside so we could decorate and have their puppy be included in the proposal. Not only did they say yes, but they were SO flexible, welcoming, generous, and the most helpful staff to make this moment AMAZING. From putting the tarp on the tent, to setting up a heater to keep us warm, to tending to every need, they were AWESOME! Special thanks to Irene for being so great! And of course she said “Yes!” :-)
