About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem

Cafe Troia was established in 1986 by the Troia family, natives of Naples, Italy. When you dine with us, rest assured that you are eating foods that meet a higher standard than the USDA - ours. We have been doing Farm to Table for 33 years. Our natural meats have no artificial hormones or antibiotics. When possible, we purchase local produce to endure its freshness. All this is nothing new, we have operated this way since 1986 which is why we have such a loyal following.
We have three separate dining rooms, offering privacy for special events. We have the prettiest outdoor dining with a covered deck, an outdoor bar, and a piazza dining area.

Party of 6 for my wife's birthday. Wine list was extensive, but not a big wine drinker. Wish there was a bit more drink selection on the bar.
