Caffe Piazza is such a great Italian spot. The food has been excellent every time I have dined. This time, I had the Sunday Stufato special that included a meatball, sausage, and braciole. The meat was all so tasty! The homemade paperdelle was perfect, and the sauce was spot on. The service is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Caffe Piazza!

Warm, wonderful service. Delicious and authentic Italian food. Limoncello parfait is a special not-chocolate dessert. Service was attentive and knowledgeable. Homemade pasta, real red “gravy” and generous portions. Leftovers the next day were equally enjoyed.

Always outstanding. Tonight Greg took care of us. He’s learning well from Antonio. I tried the veal vodka and my guest had the gnocchi. They were willing to adapt the recipe to adapt to dietary needs and were on top of everything.

All dishes we tried were flavorful and delicious. The Polipo appetizer was so tender; the home-made Italian sausage with broccoli rabe and beans delicious. The main entrees of Gamberi Genova and the Calamari Aromatico were equally flavorsome. Finally, the tartufo, heavenly! Service was specially personal and the whole family running it was so attentive! Plus it is BYOB! Looking forward to the next dinner, this time with friends and family with us! Thank you, Chef Antonio, Greg, Michaela, Isabela, Brianna ~ awesome experience!
