   Went to the Italian restaurant had an appetizer with my friend and then I had the mushroom risotto. Both were delicious.

   We had a wonderful dinner at Caterina de Medici! The pizza was great - very thin crust and great sauce. My wife's salad was excellent also. The zuppa di pesce was a delight; the fish were all very fresh and tasty and the soup was the perfect compliment. The scallops were outstanding also - just like eating on Cape Cod. Dessert was the tiramisu which was a nice light ending to the meal. The bread and wine were great also; we'll be back for another special dinner soon!

   We had a wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary here last night. Loved walking on campus as well as dining at the restaurant. It was a beautiful experience overall in every category. Loved the fact that the noise level was so quiet. Don’t like to dine at places where it’s super noisy

   CIA is a great place to visit. Not only enjoy the food but they have a geogorous landscape. My slight disappointment was that some of the dishes needed more flavor. Now I understand that it's difficult when balancing the dish. But you are the "CIA" always striving for the best! This was our anniversary of 37 years. I didn't expect the card signed by students for my wife, which she loved, and I thank you. 🙏

   We celebrated my milestone birthday here recently. We'd been to another restaurant at the CIA but this was our first time at Caterina de Medici. I started with a peach and arugula salad with pecorino cheese. It was good but I wish there had been more peaches--there were only a few very small pieces. My son and husband shared the brick oven pizza margherita and the prosciutto e melone, both of which they really enjoyed. The bread, olive oil and amuse bouche (that night it was goat cheese wrapped in zucchini) were all very good. I chose the risotto al parmigiano with mushrooms for my entree. It was delicious! I brought home enough to have for my dinner the next night also. My husband had snapper with a livornese sauce, which he loved. My son's gnocchi al pesto was also delicious. Since it was a birthday, we all had dessert. My son and I had the tiramisu and my husband had the olive oil cake with strawberry lambrusco conserva and olive oil gelato. All the deserts were superb. The illy coffee we had was also exceptional. As usual, the service was impeccable. Caterina de Medici was a lovely place to celebrate a special birthday.

   Great overall experience. Food was good but not exceptional. The waitress as excellent and the service was incredible relative to any restaurant I have been to in a decade or so. Nice decor and great staff. May stop by again when we travel NH to PA. Worth a stop.

   Very disappointing. Took a long time to order and be served a bottle of wine. Fish overcooked (yet they gladly replaced order), stuffed peppers mediocre. Will not return

   Enjoyed a relaxing evening for a special event. The food exceptional, and our waiter Liam was very attentive. My favorite dish were the scallops with parsnip puree and pea foam. Looking forward to my next visit

    We made a reservation and asked to be seated by a wall rather in the middle of the room and we were accommodated. This is a leisurely dinner, so expect some distance between the courses. We enjoyed every single item we chose. Three courses is plenty and the portions are quite large. You’re in for a real treat dining here.
