Relaxed atmosphere, vibrant bar, good wine cellar (Wine Spectator Award of Excellence), great food, delicious house-crafted gelato and house-crafted pasta. Guests may request a semi-circle booth for parties up to 8 (Max capacity is reduced due to pandemic restrictions), or a nice table.

    Had a great experience but it seems like they may have changed the recipe for the tortellini cuz it was super thick and almost inedible.

    Slow service and indifferent staff. We have been here before, many times, disappointed this time and will not go back. Slow service and the food quality was different - we ordered two items from the specials menu, and both lacked flavor.

    The customer service is very good. The food is EXCELLENT! Everyone at the table was happy with their meal. The best meals of the night were the veal and the Mignon. The drinks were so good I’d come back just for a few drinks with friends. Definitely a favorite spot of ours from now on.

    Had a great lunch with my friend. Service was great and so was the food. I had the shrimp and crab pasta and my friend had the ham and cheese panini. Food was well prepared and tasted great! Will be back again soon!!

    Tonight was dueling pianos, the entertainment was great. The service the best. We ordered off of the menu not part of the package as we are not wine drinkers. The food was very good too, a great night out

    The atmosphere is great, however a little hard to see even with the table lamp. Our table had the kitchen behind it and we could hear chatter and dishes slamming throughout the dinner. The service was very good, however we both agreed the food was a big disappointment unfortunately.

    Cafe Gelato does a special prix fixe menu, with good and varied options, in and around Valentine’s Day. They are a packed house as a result, but even with that challenge, the restaurant did a great job getting courses out to us. A pasta in a brown butter and sage sauce was wonderful, and the gelato always bears special mention.
