    This wasn’t just a meal, this was an experience! Of course the food was amazing—uncomplicated and delicious! What topped it off was the service—the hostess was so attentive, checking in with me regularly. The chef himself came to the table to present two of the courses, kindly explaining them to me. Definitely request the tasting menu if you’re willing to spend a little extra!

    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!
