- JJohnCentral Kentucky •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoFood and service were outstanding. We had a reservation for 4 but by the time we arrived we needed to another one more. OperaCaffee accommodated our request without any problems. We ordered a variety of pasta dishes (Ravioli Fattore, Ravioli Boscailoa, Fettucine Alfredo, Gnocchi Asiago Cacio & Pepe) and Caesar salads that were all excellent. The wine list includes reasonably-priced bottles (Reds starting at $38). Tiramisu and cannoli were delicious. Our server was helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Definitely recommended.More infoOperacaffePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.7

- JJenniferPhiladelphia County •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 13, 2024Food was awesome, big selection and everyone loved their meal which included salads, pasta dishes (Pappardelle alla Vodka so yum) and filet. We sat inside as it was cool out but it was noisy; two large parties made it almost impossible to hear my table mates so maybe outside is a better option? Other than that it was superb!More infoAsti RistorantePrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown•4.6
- EedwardHawaii •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024One of us has mobility issues and need to use a scooter. We eat early to avoid crowds. The staff was incredibly nice about getting the scooter off of the street and parked out of the way. On top of that, the food was really good. Service was also outstanding even after the good impression with the scooter. It really helps that it was before the evening rush, but you would be surprised how often the service is poor just before the dinner rush.
