Caffe Boa is our go-to place that we proudly bring visitors to. This time, with guests in town, we decided to try their brunch for the first time. And wow, it absolutely exceeded our expectations. I ordered tea (I let them surprise me with the flavor) and was expecting a small cup of hot water and a tea bag but they came out with a tea press with loose tea leaves. Each of us ordered something different: crepes, a ciabatta sandwich, steak and eggs, and chicken and waffles. Every dish was a hit—flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. And our waiter (who I believe might be one of the owners), was great.

Horrible customer service first and last time I come here.

They did a good job on a conference center for 80 people. Food was tasty, service good, and the live jazz enjoyable.
Great pasta! However, it took over an hour to get our food and we had to take it to go once it was all said and done. They went out of their way to get us seated, though, which is a big plus. Would love to try it again in the future 😊

I ordered the Ribeye and it was completely unseasoned and uncooked. I typically eat my steak rare at restaurants but this one was completely uncooked. I said something and stated that I would still pay for half of it since I ate some of it but the manager wouldn’t even offer an apology. I’m not as disappointed that the steak was uncooked as am toward the managements attitude.

Food came quick. Salmon pasta was good portion. Good taste too. Close to offices.
My wife and I had our first date at the old location down the street over 20 years ago. We decided to revisit the new location recently. We both loved our pasta. If pressed, my only complaint would be the pricing. It's kind of takes the fun away from going out. $8-10 for a single beer? $26 for a plate of pasta that has $6 worth of ingredients? That being said, I had a great time and if it were more affordable, I'd be there more often.

Amazing spot. While the rest of Mill Ave is getting turned over, this long-standing Italian spot should stay forever because of how good it is. The food was amazing, the drinks were top notch, and the service was personalized and friendly. We had the calamari, voodoo penne, and cioppino, and would order all of them again. Our espresso martinis, blackberry Negroni, and glasses of wine were all exceptional. Definitely stop here for your next meal.

Authentic. Good portions for the price. Great menu selection. Probably the most authentic Italian food I've ever had. Everything is cooked perfectly. Easy 5 stars. Seriously. Check it out.

The quality, taste, and presentation of the food already makes this restaurant one of the best in downtown Tempe. Along with this, the romantic and calm atmosphere and the caring service makes this one of my favorite and most underrated restaurants.
