My 2 friends & I had a fun evening at Canti Osteria, food & service were great & our server Gabrielle was fun & attentive. However, we do have an issue & can not get it resolved & it is impossible to get any response from anyone at Canti Osteria. We have emailed & called & have not been able to resolve this. We bought tickets & dinner combo for Cyndi Lauper concert on October 18, our tickets were scanned as we entered the restaurant. We had a table reserved & told the host that we had concert tickets/dinner combo. We ordered dinner & drinks & then paid the bill & did not notice till later that the cost of dinner (previously paid for) was not subtracted from the bill. We tried to get back into the restaurant but was not allowed, we called numerous times over the next few days & could not speak to anyone at Canti, we returned to the restaurant on Saturday, October 20 & could not get in. We are happy to pay the difference, we just want Canti to refund the overage. Can someone please reach out & suggest a way to resolve this. Much appreciated.

I would only recommend this restaurant if you are getting a deal when you buy tickets to an event. The regular menu prices are not worth it, as the food is mediocre at best. I purchased a meal deal when I bought tickets for Jurassic Park Live. I bought them because the menu was appealing but when we got there, they switched the menu so I ended up paying $45 for pasta & 3 meatballs. I couldn't eat my dessert because it was frozen solid (I ordered cake). Service was nonexistent as there were 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant. Took forever to get our food & then we were billed a tip on the regular price of the meals & not on the meal deal we received. $30 tip was not worth the service we received.
