We have been going to Cafe Jordano for years and as they have grown, the dining experience isnt quite what it used to be. As usual when you walk in the tables are full and there is usually a wait. The tables are crowded together and there isnt enough waiting space, but we like the food so we wait. Tonight was no different. We were a party of 5 and waited 45 minutes only to be placed at a small table by the kitchen and next to the ladies restroom in a tight corner. The table was barely big enough for 4, let alone 5. We asked for a larger table, and said we would wait for one. We were denied that request by the hostess. Our waitress requested for us and we were offered another small table up front, but this one did not have room for the 5th person to put his legs under the table. Again we said we would wait, but the hostess denied our request again. I didnt think were were being unreasonable as we were not in a hurry. When another member tried to talk to the hostess she said that they were expanding. That really didnt help us out tonight and we were not offered another table when it became available. We decided to leave and ended up at another italian restaurant where we had great service. Cafe Jordans already has a good clientel, so it didnt matter when we walked out that door. Too bad, we wont be going back.

We were told 35-40 minutes and waited over an hour. After we were seated, two groups that were still outside after us had gotten their food and almost finished before our plates came out. The Buffalo Bolognese had a very blandly seasoned batter-fry. I was giving my date a bite, she was pointlessly blowing on it to cool it down, it had come out cold. My date got "Gregs Favorite" and said it was okay, not worth the wait, though. Im not a seafood guy, but my date got the white wine mussels and said they were also okay/good. I dipped the some bread in the broth and thought it was pretty good. We had each eaten about 1/4 of our entrée and asked for boxes. As we were finishing up we saw the owners sit down to a table, when their food came out the server had to use hot mitts and the steam was rolling off the meal, my date still says that looked way better than both of our dishes. We got some cannoli and tiramisu to go. So far the cannoli was good, my date says the best part. Well be back to try one more time, hopefully well get better dishes and actual hot food.

Uhh... Can I put no stars? I dont even write reviews so take my word. The worst service. It doesnt even deserve one star. ITS THAT BAD. Once we walked in we werent seated because our whole party was not in at the same time. It was 3 of us and we were missing 1 person. Theres a booth that seats 4. You would think they would seat us since they seated a couple before us at another booth that seats 4.... I mean, why couldnt we get the booth and then wait on our 4th friend? Its not like we are taking up unreasonable space right?! The worst part is she told us that if she sat us down and our 4th friend shows up she wouldnt seat her. Her own raspy smoker voice words were "call her and tell her not to come because I wont seat her." WTF? But then I saw this old lady come in and find her party that waived her down to sit with them... LONG STORY SHORT, WE WALKED OUT. IF YOURE DINING ALONE THEN MAYBE YOULL BE OK... BUT IF NOT THEN DONT EVEN BOTHER. BELIEVE ME, I WILL SPREAD THE WORD, & WE WILL NEVER EVER EVER RETURN.

The food is delicious however the owner completely ruined our experience tonight and i will never go there again. We went with a group of 11 people. Made reservations for 5:00, they told us to be there at 4:45 which is fine. When we showed up, the owner insisted we never made reservations and was unbelievably rude to my aunt (whose birthday we were there to celebrate). She was yelling at her and telling her she never made reservations and we needed to be gone by 6:00. I will never go here again. Waitress was really nice however. The owner needs to learn what customer service is. Very disappointing

Cannot stand this place. The food is below mediocre and the the service is absolutely terrible. Waitress disappeared for 15 minutes came back reeking of cigarettes. Served the sorriest excuse for a salad. Tip.... a few wilted unwashed lettuce leaves does not a salad make. Took the foul smelling waitress 2 1/2 hours to finally bring this misery to a close. I dont understand the attraction for the overweight soft pudgy middle class crowd to this imitation chef boyardee slop hole. Hate this place, poor food, bad service and smelly wait staff. You can have it, not me not again not ever

was looking a place to eat around my area. saw this place with decent ratings so we decided to check it out. ordered the alfredo because it was cheap and because its a simple dish, they wouldnt have a problem making it. waited over a half a hour for the most disappointing dish i have ever seen in my life. food came out very bland and the presentation was absolutely boring. its like they slapped some noodles on a plate and poured watery sauce all over it. Ive had microwave t.v dinners that tasted way better than this and for only a fraction of the price.

Im not one to go out to eat at an Italian place since we always make Italian food at home, but we decided to give it a try. Interior is quaint and feels like youre walking into Grandmas house. Menu is large and had so many good options, but I finally decided on the gnocchi. I was a little disappointed when it first came out because my dish was smaller than everyone elses, but the taste made up for it. The pasta came in a cream sauce that was one of the best tasting sauces I have ever tried! Everyone in our party loved their meals!

I cant say enough about this Italian restaurant. Best comment would be that they dont serve BS "pretty" pasta (the kind where you can see the pasta at the edges with the sauce neatly piled in the middle). Pretty pasta = under sauced pasta. I got an Alfredo dish and almost died of a cheese induced coma. Amazing. The Atmosphere isnt anything to bowl you over, until you learn that all of the photos are family photos (I dont know which family member took them). Then the walls take on a whole different level of interest.

They have gluten free pasta. But they wont seat you until everyone in your party is there. The restaurant is practically empty but they wouldnt seat me to even order a glass of wine until my friend gets here. I like the food well enough if a friend really wants to go there but the staff arent particularly helpful, knowledgeable or nice. 5 waitresses and waiters are standing around being loud and annoying but I cant even get a glass of water?
