What a great find! We were a party of 4, 1st visit for all of us & we cannot wait to go back! Apps = bacon wrapped figs & bruschetta, both very tasty. We all tasted each others plates (gnocchi, sun-dried penne, raviolis) & it was all great. Lava cake & lemon ricotta for dessert was also delicious. Service was prompt, polite, attentive & smart (brought us separate tickets without us even having to ask). We got there early so not a lot of crowd noise and we were able to enjoy a few songs before we left. We didn’t have any problem continuing our conversations while the music played (& it had gotten a lot more crowded) but no complaints about noise here. The band was the Shamus Hanlin (sp?) Quartet. Impressive! We’re new fans now of both the restaurant and the band!

Food, service, ambience was amazing. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary. They provided free sparkling wine to celebrate. The food was perfect, specifically the Wagyu beef, which was the best steak I have ever had. I couldn’t recommend it enough. The attached pictures are the Radiatori and Bucatini.

Both the food and the service were excellent. We had the lobster and crab ravioli .The raviolis were delicious and were served with a delicate,light lemon sauce. The desserts were also very well done. We highly recommend Cafe Med.
