" I'd give this place a try if you're in the area! The food was excellent, although I found the lasagna a bit salty. However, the service made up for it! The staff was friendly and personable, and I appreciated that they checked on us regularly. The restaurant itself felt cozy and intimate. The garlic bread was a highlight, prompting my craving for more. I could see myself returning, with a new set of orders next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a regular at Cafe Italia, and it never disappoints! Every visit leaves me feeling as if I've tried the heart of Italy. The osso buco is perfectly tender and rich, while the bruschetta served as a delightful start to the meal. The chefs truly know how to highlight flavors without overwhelming the palate. It's great to see the family run their business with such passion and care. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Italia is a true gem! Every time I visit, I'm amazed at how consistent the food quality is. The gnocchi was light and fluffy, just the way it's meant to be, and the pesto sauce was luscious without being overpowering. The staff members always ensure you're happy with your meal and come by often to refill your drinks, which is a big plus. I'm excited to introduce this spot to some of my friends who are fans of Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing experience at Cafe Italia! The family atmosphere combined with the flavors of lovingly crafted Italian dishes makes every visit a joy. The pasta dishes remind me of my grandmother’s cooking back in Italy, with each sauce made from scratch. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana, which was perfectly baked. The chef, Valerie, is a magician in the kitchen! I left feeling satisfied and can't wait for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went out for dinner at Cafe Italia, looking for quality Italian food, and we certainly found it here. The atmosphere is very inviting, with warm lighting and welcoming decor. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. My partner got the penne alla vodka, which was also excellent! The portions were generous enough that we both left satisfied. The service was good overall, and the owner was seen actively engaged with diners, adding a personal touch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here and while my experience was decent, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The ambiance was great; however, my pasta dish was mediocre and underwhelming. I did enjoy the service and the staff were quite friendly. Maybe next time I’ll be more adventurous with my order. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mediocre experience at Cafe Italia. The food was decent, but nothing to write home about. It might have been an off night, but the service felt rushed, and I didn't get to enjoy my meal as much as I hoped. The ambiance was nice, but it didn't quite make up for the shortcomings in the meal. I might try a different dish next time, since I've heard their specialties can really shine. " (*Curated Review*)
