It's hard to imagine finding an Italian restaurant of this caliber in an outdoor mall, but here it is. With a cozy atmosphere, excellent food, great service, and reasonable prices, you can't go wrong. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed!

Linguini Putinesca? OMG and WOW.(and not in a good way!!). Tonight’s meal sucked. Tasteless fodder with way too much broth and lacking ingredients! There wasn’t a Caper to be found anywhere in the dish (as advertise) and Black Olives ARE NOT calamata olives. Also margarine is NOT BUTTER! We asked for butter..that lard they served up just killed the otherwise nice bread. All in all it was a very disappointing experience. Come on Crivellos, you’re better than that!

This place was unknown to me until yesterday, and I'm so stoked that we came across it while out shopping. The restaurant was nearly full, but we were fortunate to get a nice table, and we were greeted, served promptly, and the menu was packed with traditional dishes, all of which sounded awesome. But as is my way in a new restaurant, I went right for one of the most difficult dishes to execute....the manicotti :) While I fully expected to be underwhelmed, when it was brought to the table, I was immediately surprised (pleasantly) rather than using manicotti pasta shells, the chef had given it a twist, using a scratch made crepe as the shell to hold the delicious ricotta parmesan blend. I could instantly tell the marinara was handmade, adorned with a beautiful fresh cut chiffonade of basil sprinkled over the sauce and plate. The smell was amazing. And then, the first bite.....omg! The balance, the fresh ingredients, bright marinara sauce, creamy ricotta, fresh basil, absolutely amazing and delicate. It was a 10 out of 10. My wife ordered the italian sub, panini style. It was also packed with beautiful fresh cold cuts, tomato and cheese, perfectly pressed and warmed. Delicious! It isn't often that you encounter someone in the kitchen that truly knows what they're doing, but Sebastian blew us away with his approach to Italian/Sicilian dishes. He is absolutely a master chef. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone. Can't wait to go back. I was told by our server that the Tiramisu is a family recipe, and on a scale of 1-10, it's a 100. Definitely on my list for next time. :))
