    The food here is always delicious! Start with the fried olives. I’ve had them in other restaurants, but they’re never as good as they are at Garre Café.  everything is always fresh. I usually have pasta, which is always great. Yesterday I had a turkey club, which was really good. Always a great place to go when you’re in Livermore.

    They need to learn how to cook Italian food. You do not put cheese in seafood pasta, they have no idea how to make a carbonara sauce. And the pasta was way over cooked as was all the fish. They intermingle flat bread and pizza terminology as one dish when a flat bread is different than pizza. I can go on. The sandwich my guest had looked good and she really enjoyed it and I did see other dishes come out to other tables that were not Italian looked good. The two appetizers we had were average to good. My guest wanted to go there but if I had my choice after reading the menu on line I would not go.
