For the third consecutive year, I pre-ordered my Thanksgiving meal from C’era Una Volta Kitchen & Catering, and once again, it did not disappoint. The entire process, from ordering to dining, was seamless.
I picked up my meal the afternoon before Thanksgiving. Everything was securely packed in easy-to-heat containers, making the holiday cooking process entirely stress-free.
Every dish was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared:
Portobello Tart with Puff Pastry & Brie: A truly delicious start to the morning. The combination of crispy pastry, flavorful mushrooms, and brie was a definite highlight.
Turkey Breast “Imporchettato”: The main course was a tender turkey breast beautifully wrapped around sausage. This hearty portion was generous enough for two people. It came with classic, well-executed sides, including mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, mushroom stuffing, and fresh focaccia.
Bourbon Pumpkin Cheesecake: A delicious conclusion to the feast, providing the perfect holiday flavor profile.
I highly recommend C’era Una Volta. Not only do they make holidays easy and flavorful, but their consistent quality is worth visiting throughout the entire year.

I had an incredible experience with C’era Una Volta. My family and I were out of options on Thanksgiving and stumbled on this gem. It was incredible and one of the best Thanksgiving dinners I’ve ever had! The owners were so nice and welcoming and I will absolutely come back in the future.

If I could give C’Era Una Volta Kitchen & Catering 10 stars, I would without hesitation! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with the kind of warmth and hospitality that only a true Italian gentleman like Rudy, the owner, can provide. Meeting Rudy was a highlight in itself—he’s not just passionate about his craft, but also genuinely cares about his customers’ experience.
But let’s talk about the food because it’s nothing short of spectacular. I put my trust in Rudy and let him choose my lunch, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He crafted a salad with toast points
that were both fresh and flavorful with fresh Mozzarella and tomatoes with a balsamic dressing that was amazing, setting the stage for the main event: ravioli with a meat sauce that was simply out of this world. Every bite was a testament to Rudy’s dedication to authentic, high-quality Italian cuisine.
The service was impeccable, the atmosphere cozy and inviting, and the food—oh, the food! Rudy is an absolute gem, and his restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food and an even greater dining experience. This place is an instant favorite, and I can’t wait to return! It’s a small space for dining in but worth the out-of-the-box experience.

We haven’t patronized C’Era Una Volta for over a decade, for good reason. We have high expectations with Italian food and unfortunately they did not improve with time. The best part of the meal was probably the bread, served with a warm, mustardy aioli that was both smooth and pungent, creamy but not spicy. The beet salad was so uninspiring, we could have done better putting a few pkgs from Trader Joes in a bowl and assembling something ourselves. Our daughter’s kids’ sausage pizza was served with mushrooms (wasn’t mentioned on the menu), husband’s melanzane Parmigiana was decent, but my Tagliolini alla Senese was a let-down. There was a giant clump of uncooked, unseparated noodles, and the sauce was supposed to be a chianti beef sauce but all I could get was tons of herbaceousness from a heavy hand (I forgot if it was thyme or rosemary, it wasn’t pleasant). The service was very lackluster (took a while to take our order, arms reaching across the table instead of going around to serve/clear, no one checked on us after our main courses were delivered). I truly wish they would improve because I would throw my money at a good Italian reataurant without a second thought (yes, we’ve been to Italy, from Roma up to Venezia) but it isn’t this place.

Nice restaurant, not really expensive. Food is great. The only disadvantage is it’s closed at 9pm, but they don’t force you to leave. Service is really great. I ordered Mediterranean fish special. Not greasy, just right.

Wonderful romantic place to dine with that special someone, whether it be adult daughter, significant other, mother or others. New, Italian decor, with upstairs & outdoor seating for warm weather. The owner remembered me & so did the hostess; Gigi the waitress was friendly & attentive. There’s a bar in the waiting area and another on the restaurant floor. Bottles of wine started at $30. My bill for 3 was $135.00 with wine.

Great food! Loved the fresh salads, side veggies and saffron rice full of veggies. It was a different feel from the delivery we’ve received from other places lately. It just felt good eating healthy, well cooked food. Great communication and professional staff. They didn’t have the dessert on the menu and called to ask me what I preferred. We ate every bite. Bravo!

Delicious Italian with an authentic feel. They accommodated all of our dietary restrictions and modifications with a smile and made us feel like VIPs. The entire staff was very friendly and made us feel amazing. And above all, everything edible that hit the table was made PERFECTLY! The food was so delicious we were amazed we haven’t been there yet. The meal ended with a fantastic dessert and a very affordable check. We are definitely coming back!

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant as a great addition to our area! (2 mins from our home)! The owners greeted us at our table, our server was excellent and the food and wine where fantastic! By far my favorite part was the decor! Wow!! I loved all the detail and custom barn wood design that was so warm and welcoming. We will for sure be bringing many friends & family to this new dining experience!

Very nice service. Pleasant place but the shrimp were seriously overcooked. Scallops were good. Just had an appetizer there, not worth the bother of a complaint. Would go again with a group because they were wonderfully accommodating and other dishes may well be better; but caution advised: some other people also had problems with some of what they ordered. However, when they complained, the response was gracious and the items were changed out.
