The first thing we were asked when we walked into the restaurant is if we had a reservation. Since it is a very small place I thought perhaps it was an invitation only place and was turning around to leave but was encouraged to stay since it was so early. As a Sicilian I immediately noticed that this was a... more

I go in Italy, and often they are to Bologna but in all the taverns where they have been I have never found plates like those introduced in the menu of this restaurant. The typical plates of the zone are very various from these, lasagne, tortellini, humid, simple plates but many bonds. The appetizers with crescents some and tigelle and... more

Without doubt a restaurant to miss - simply a dreadful experience - do not waste your time or money. The food was inedible. The staff were unaffected by our comments nor did they show any concern - food was salty, tasteless, unappealing to look at - just masses of "homemade" pasta that was awful - too bad that the "family... more

It was a such a treat to find this hidden gem on the edge of Falmouth Center. If you are into heavy cream sauces, large portions, chicken parm and large menu selections....this IS NOT the restaurant for you! The owners are from Italy. They make the food the way Italians really eat. Simple, fresh, and homemade is what the menu... more

This reataurant is serves the worst Italian food I have ever eaten. The menu is very limited with a lot of cream sauces, there is not a single veal dish on the menu and the pastas were very basic. We ordered the shrimp and scallops pasta dish. There were 3 small shrimp and a few scallops the sauce was described... more

La Civetta is a wonderfully authentic Italian restaurant, owned by a young Italian woman whose family came often to Cape Cod, and as a result, she decided to open a very traditional Italian family restaurant. We have traveled in Italy several times, and this restaurant is just like being in the small neighborhood restaurants of Italy. The menu is wonderful,... more

What a charming restaurant! Loved the old building with wood floors. Each table and all of the chairs are different. Casual but upscale. Breads, oil, pasta, and wine all delicious. Romantic restaurant. Highly recommended. more

The restaurant on a Monday night was empty when we (2 people) asked for a table early in the evening. We were given the worst table, near the kitchen, which had a door that needed lubrication. We also noted that another couple got treated similarly (they got the 2nd worst table). strange for a restaurant that had plenty of open... more
