Candicci's Restaurant & Bar
To the “Big Hill” in the heart of West County!
We at CANDICCI’S are proud to serve you fine Italian cuisine - pasta, veal, seafood, chicken and beef dishes - made from only the freshest ingredients.
When I first opened CANDICCI’S in 1980, I took as my model the wonderful neighborhood ristorantes that populate New York’s famous “Little Italy” section. I wanted to recreate that special intimate ambience - a blend of attentive, friendly service, casual atmosphere and classic Italian cooking.

"We went for a Mother's Day Brunch so I'm not sure what the "usual" food is like but the food served was just OK. I most likely will not find it worth going back."

"Mother's Day Brunch was very expensive. Food was pretty good. We made reservations but still had to wait on a table then they sat us at a table for 4 even though we had 5 in our reservation party. Very cramped and uncomfortable. Not what we had hoped for. Waiter told us to "wait for the line at the buffet to go down a bit then we could head on up". Line never really went down so we finally just got in it. Considering we drove an hour, would not do that again."

"Went for Mother's Day brunch. Food was less than average for the price. They also kept running out so most of the time they didn't even have buffet refilled. Will not go back."

"the waiter was pushy, 7 people at the table and he demanded everyones attention. When bill came i did not know that they included 18% in the bill. i gave the guy a 20% tip---i did not know that i totally overtipped until i looked up the restaurants policy on their website the next day. he could have said something. Not going back there!"

"I am a regular here and I am never disappointed at all! The food is amazing, it is so nice to have such an amazing Italian restaurant so close to home. The atmosphere during the weekend is great, they have live music and dim lighting......perfect for a date or a quiet night out. Not really the type of place to bring your kids, I think it is more of an adult type of atmosphere. Pricing is very fair for the amount of food you get, I always end up with a 2nd meals worth of leftovers! I always get the Chicken Cordon Bob for my entree and the toasted ravioli or garlic cheese bread for an appetizer is amazing!"
