Candela's brings the very essence of Italy's culinary heritage to the heart of Midlothian with amazing pastas and New York-style pizzas (they're the best outside of the Big Apple!). Owner Sal Candela is a first generation Italian-American and second-generation restaurateur; this namesake eatery is an opportunity to showcase his years of hospitality experience and share his passion for creating northern and southern Italian dishes. Friendly staff and a relaxed setting are the perfect backdrop for every lunch and dinner visit. Specialty pizzas are made to order with premium ingredients and available in crowd-pleasing combos like Buffalo chicken, vegetarian, Greek, or the hip-to-be-square Sicilian. You can also create your own pie from their selection of gourmet ingredients. They also offer calzones and strombolis with a gluten-free option! Candela's delivers on the pasta front with saucy classics (marinara, mushroom, meat or cheese ravioli and tortellini, fettuccine Alfredo) and baked favorites (lasagna, ziti, stuffed shells, spaghetti). The rest of the menu includes a delightful collection of subs, burgers, and specialty dinners (gnocchi Bolognese, shrimp scampi, etc.). With all these delicious options, don't forget to save room for the cannoli!
