TL;DR, not worth the overpriced food unless you need a reserved room for some party. Went there for a friend's birthday in a reserved room. Honestly there isn't anything special about this place, the food weren't particularly standou. The lamb shank that I ordered, the shank was overly salty but the pasta that came with it were excessively dry and bland... The kids meals were disappointing. Deep fried pieces of chicken breast with fries and undercooked pasta with rose sauce... For about the same price, you can get a well made pasta from Lulu's.

Restaurant Calvi receives a lot of praise for its service, often described as warm, professional, and attentive, especially for groups or in private dining rooms. Several customers also say the food is very good, with generous portions and pleasant experiences for events. However, a few reviews mention slow service, uneven quality, and dishes considered too expensive for the value received. So it is a good choice for a friendly experience, but expectations should stay realistic when it comes to consistency and value for money.

Amazing
Very disappointing Mother’s Day experience. We waited over an hour for the food and nearly another hour just to receive the bill. The restaurant was not particularly busy, which made the delays even more surprising. To be fair, our waitress genuinely tried her best and remained polite throughout the evening, so this does not appear to be an individual staff issue. The problem seemed more related to the restaurant’s overall organization and service management. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a special family occasion became a frustrating experience. I hope management takes the necessary steps to improve operations moving forward.
Really disappointed with the mother's day menu, my mom and aunts weren't fans either. We came because we really wanted to try certain things on the normal menu and wish we were told when making the reservation there would be a limited menu. The ambiance in our private room was very bland as well, for a fancier restaurant. The portions for the price were small, I guess to be expected for the type of restaurant. Service was slow but nice. In all wouldn't go back.
Maître'd was pretentious and stuffy. I felt like was asking permission to enter a holy place 🙄 Server was too busy or distracted or indifferent to take our drink order fully. We asked for dirty vodka martinis but she walked away before I finished speaking (twice). We received dry gin martinis. When we finally got her attention again and mentioned the mixup, she had already walked away before I could finish saying dirty martini. Then we got dry vodka martinis. I just ended up asking for olive juice at the end. Food was ok, steak was cooked properly and the fries were actually really good, but overall nothing extraordinary. My friend's fettuccine was dryer than expected. Got dessert menus and a different serve finally took our order because our original server was too occupied clearing other tables. Chocolate cake 3 ways? See pic. Nope, just the one way. And tasted like it was sitting in the fridge too long. Really disappointing experience. Definitely not worth a second visit. Probably not even a first.
Even though you can reserve private rooms, the walls don't go all the way to the ceilings. So when we were there, there was a party upstairs and we constantly heard children yelling and screaming.
I was here for my friend’s engagement party, and everything was perfect.
