Editorial Review for Italian Cafe – by Andrea Loera
In Short
Decor is casual at this cozy neighborhood cafe and eschews checkered tablecloths from photos of the owners' trips to Italy. Display shelves at the front (orders are placed at the register) provide sample plates of the day's special menu items. The menu of Italian classics features tasty starters like sausage and peppers, fried zucchini and house special mussels. The marinara sauce is always a sweet and spicy treat as are any dishes featuring fresh seafood.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoStaffers will bus the tables as the empty dishes pile up, but dishes, cutlery and glasses are at the back of the restaurant near the soda machine. It's self service for these items.
The ExtrasIf you forgot your bottle of wine, there's an Arlen's Market in the same strip mall.

go here if you want a charming not quite hole-in-the-wall italian dining experience in the midst of seafood joints galore. best enjoyed outdoors on the patio in front of the restaurant over red wine (BYOW: bring your own wine ... also there's a conveniently placed alcohol store next door) and good company. the food is decent, i've had better quality at other cozier italian restaurants. i also love how they display the food out on a table for all to scrutinize and ultimately pick a dish more to their preference. overall, if you just want to enjoy the weather and share stories with friends, this is the place to go. fyi: coffe oasis in just within walking distance if you want to grab some coffee and catch some live music after dinner.*
Pros: outdoor patio, bring your own wine
Cons: food quality, not cozy

If youre looking for an intimate, romantic, and great food for your money, this is NOT the place. It is a really busy and loud place during the evening. It has more of a family-screaming children ambience. They display a few of their main entrees as you walk in. The displays looked pretty sad, but I thought it was just because they might of been sitting there all day. I was wrong. Expect to pay 16.00 per person on a main entree. I felt that was a little overpriced considering the quality of the food i had. Pasta was a little bit too chewy. On the good side...Definately not your typical mainstream "Italian" place. Which im not sure if thats what they were going for. It would seem more of a place to go after getting drunk or a place to go get drunk (BYOwine) with friends and spend time.
Pros: Layed back, Bring your wine
Cons: Loud, Overpriced food, compact and busy
