Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Caffè Italiano delights with "great food" and "superb service." Highlights include rich mushroom ravioli, excellent tiramisu, and top-notch pizza and filet steak. While some dishes like the spaghetti and meatballs need improvement, the attentive staff, especially server Ally, elevate the dining experience. It's a "great restaurant for seafood, Italian, and steaks!"

All was great however the sounds of the slot machines created a less relaxing atmosphere. There should be some sort of sound barrier

Our experience was excellent. The service was outstanding. The food was excellent, thank you to the chef and the price was reasonable. The overall restaurant was simple but inviting. Surprisingly the noise level in the restaurant was very low and our conversation was fluid but not interrupted by the 4 ladies chatting next to us. We are looking forward to having brunch with you in the near future. Please pass on our thank you to the pleasant, attentive server who provided us with the excellent service . Lily

At a table of 6, all of our food dishes were excellent. Our service though was very slow and forgetful with several errors ending up on the final bill.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. We were there for a late lunch and had peameal bacon on a bun with roasted peppers. Absolutely delicious from the first bite and served with crisp fries. The serving was quite substantial and we’ll definitely order this again.
