" This place blew me away! I was visiting Buchanan and stopped by on a whim. The old-time vibe is nostalgic and charming. I ordered the chicken bacon pesto sandwich and a slice of their key lime pie. Both were incredibly delicious! The sandwich had the perfect amount of pesto and the dessert was a refreshing end to my meal. The owners came out to chat with us, which made the experience even better. I can't wait to come back and try their pasta special next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff were delightful, and the atmosphere was charming. However, I felt the prices were a bit steep for the portion sizes offered. My pesto pasta was good, but not enough to warrant the pricing. The gelato was impressive, but I left craving more food than I had received. " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere exudes charm, and the staff are such a delight! I couldn’t get enough of the fresh gelato. I ordered the Italian beef sandwich, which was quite good, but the portion left me wanting more. Overall a wonderful experience that I’d recommend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this café after hearing rave reviews, and I wasn’t let down! The chicken Alfredo was creamy and satisfying, while the cannoli was a perfect end to the meal. I would recommend stopping by but be prepared for a busy atmosphere on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Cafe Italiano a few times and each visit has been equally satisfying. The meatball sub is fantastic if you enjoy robust flavors. The staff are kind and attentive, and the decor adds a comforting touch. The only drawback was a long wait time on my last visit, but the food was worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit let down by my last visit. The food was good, but I felt that the service was lacking compared to previous experiences. I enjoyed my sandwich despite the high cost and didn't feel full afterward. I hope my next visit is better. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Gelato here is fantastic! I tried a few flavors during my visit and was quite impressed. However, I felt that my meatball sub was just okay. It was tasty but lacked a bit of the authentic seasoning I expect from a true Italian deli. The service was attentive, making for an enjoyable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
