Caniglias Original Restaurant

Caniglia's is one of the better 'Old School' Italian-Style Steak Houses (see Cascio's, Angie's, Mr. C's, Johnny's, Anthony's, Piccolo Pete's). Food quality is generally very good. Decor hasn't been touched much in a long time and actually adds to the ambiance. Great Prime Rib special on Tuesday and Friday: i think it's a 10-oz. cut, soup or salad, choice of potato, side of pasta, bread and butter, glass of wine, spumoni and coffee for $13.99! It's an excellent deal! Too bad the place is closing. The owner attributes the restaurant's failure to the inability to compete with all of the West O places and lack of patronage from non-neighborhood residents. This is unfortunate. Another long-time family run business ground beneath the strip-mall mentality. more

Caniglia's original restaurant is an american steakhouse with a big dose of old world italian thrown in. For under thirty dollars, two people can get prime rib dinners, complete with an appetizer, a soft drink, salad, a potato and a side of spaghetti. The food is really good, and the place has an oldworld kind of ambiance to it. It doesn't pretend to be upscale, just comfortable and homey. more
