   Excellent food, fantastic service. Food was pricey, but everything has gone up. We ate on the outside patio which is unfortunately right next to the parking lot, so there was some street noise and no privacy. It was a lovely special occasion meal for us.

   Went for Mother’s Day - which is notorious for crowds and over bookings. Cafe Italiano was mobbed - and for good reason. Our table was ready when we arrived. The service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. The food was excellent despite the diversity of the dishes our party ordered. Salmon piccata. Seafood spaghetti. Lamb shank. Chicken parm. All delicious and served hot. The wine was delicious too tho the one list could’ve been more descriptive and saved me from having to Google the varietals. The decor is homey but nothing amazing. Comfortable and relaxed. This was our first time but definitely won’t be our last!!

   Great meal. We have never been disappointed with the Caffe Italiano Ristorante. Sergio, the owner is first class. We are so glad he opened this restaurant. My wife had the Veal Parmigiana and it was amazing, the best she has ever had.

    Wonderful dining experience! Cafe Italiano exceeded our expectations from the moment we entered to appetizers, entrees and desserts. Warm family-owned atmosphere friendly, knowledgeable service and we always gauge an Italian restaurant by the tenderness of their meatballs and flavor of their Bolognese and marsala sauces... all of it is delightful. We can't wait to enjoy their hospitality again!

    Pros: great efficient and friendly service by owner and all of the wait staff. Enjoyed the fried calamari appetizer, pear gorgonzola salad, gnocchi and tiramisu. Cons: tables close to each other so it's noisy, uncomfortable wood chairs. Lasagna was meh, risotto mare was fishy, prosciutto melon was tasteless. Prices are high for portion size ($21 for calamari, $18 for 3 slices of melon). All desserts are $10. Corkage $18. I may try it again on a weeknight when it's not crowded

    Amy the server was excellent! She was very friendly, attentive and very pleasant. However, at the end of the meal the manager/owner was kind of surly and we felt like we were being rushed. There were people waiting but we didn’t feel as though we were overstaying and hoarding the table. We had spent 100$, including a bottle of wine, desert 2 salads however we split a large entree. The manager was hovering and tried to empty the bottle of wine in my glass when I didn’t want anymore. When I quickly told him to stop pouring he was kind of indignant and walked away. He was just generally abrupt and really made us feel like we needed to “wrap it up” and vacate the table. We like this restaurant and will likely go back. But I will share my my disappointment regarding this last visit and hopefully get an acknowledgment. Respectfully Peter Phelps

    We are big fans of Sergio and glad to see how successful the restaurant is. We brought our daughter-in-law who had not dined here before. She enjoyed the wild boar for the first time. I had the lamb shank which was delicious, as usual. Finally, my husband had the veal Marsala. He said it was the best ever. There was a full house when we went on Friday night. My advice to those who haven’t tried this restaurant would be to make reservations before you go and then go and enjoy the food. Even though the restaurant was very busy, there was sufficient wait staff that the food was served without a long wait. There was a $30 bottle of Malbec as a wine special. It was quite nice.

    We chose to come back to this restaurant for Valentine's Day because they have always offered excellent veal dishes, however this time the veal Marsala was disappointing. It was cut much thinner than previously and it seemed to lack much Marsala flavor. Wines by the glass are limited to "house wines" that are mediocre at best, but still $12 a glass. Service was a bit slower than usual and prices had gone up from the last time we dined here. All in all, it was not up to previous standards.

    Loved all the dishes we've had..My favorite is the Fresh Homemade Lasagna! If you love Wild Boar Osso Bucca or never had like me WOW ! It is delicious and huge portion. Wife had and I got an awesome sandwich out of the leftover the next day!! Being an 63 year old Italian and Lasagna and food snob I rate this place #1 Italian restaurant in Northern California!

    We are regular patrons, so we enjoy coming here. The service is excellent and very attentive. The Caesar salad was very good and the large serving was a perfect appetizer for our table of 4. The entrees were mixed. The butternut squash ravioli and the risotto mare were excellent, but the salmon piccata was disappointing in its presentation and accompaniment of the smallest amount of barely dressed pasta, though with a good vegetable mixture like ratatouille., again in a small amount. For the price, we expected a plate more in keeping with the customary generous portions we have had in the past. The last time we had the salmon it was wonderful and plentiful. It's a mystery why this successful dish has been changed. We will continue to come frequently and enjoy the varied menu. Hopefully the salmon will change back to what it used to be.
