CAFFÈ ITALIANO RISTORANTE is a neighborhood gem that offers a dining experience often described as cinematic, with soft lighting and the quiet sound of clinking glasses. The service is wonderful and friendly, though it can occasionally be a bit slow. The dining area is small and popular, so a reservation is recommended but not required. The food is excellent, with standout dishes including the best gnocchi, braised lamb that falls off the bone, a perfectly executed risotto, and salmon piccata that is to die for. Other menu highlights are butternut squash risotto, lamb shank, salmon with pasta side, and delicious clam chowder. The marinara sauce has a balanced acidity profile, and the pasta maintains proper firmness. A lemon cello shot or limoncello is always a tasty end to the meal, and the dessert offerings, like bread pudding with ice cream, are amazing. The house Malbec is also recommended.
