This restaurant is clearly one of the most pleasant place in the area. Always when I go there I am remarkably happy. They preserve their high standard service and the topmost level of dishes they give. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

I love Cafe Italia and not being able to visit during COVID (it wouldn't be safe for them to operate as usual) is one of the sadder dining related occurrences for me. You don't go to Cafe Italia for great food -- it isn't, it's middling Italian food that meets your needs. You go to Cafe Italia to escape to a different world -- a world where famous musical songs are sung by talented performers. One where children's dreams come true and those young at heart are reminded of childlike wonder by some of the most talented performers in the desert. I hope that Cafe Italia survives this pandemic and hopefully by next summer I'm able to enjoy Cafe Italia's new world once again. Ps: make a reservation-- they get very busy.

We came to this restaurant for dinner. we heard about this restaurant from a lot of people. Well, it was very successful. The staff members were very polite and we had a fantastic feeling. The food was just great. We had a great time and we will visit this place again. We recommend this place to all.

This place is a real gem of a restaurant. Tucked away in the corner in an unassuming strip mall surrounded by the cleaners and a postage store. And next to a vacated grocery store. But don't let that fool you. The p li ace is very cutesy and they have a lovely outdoor patio you can sit at if the weather permits it. Lovely tables inside for your dining pleasure. I love the singing at this place. A real bonus getting free entertainment. About every twenty minutes the staff begin singing while you done at your table. They would never hire me because my singing voice leaves much to be desired. All the staff are really good singers. I'm just waiting for the day I see one of them on American Idol. We arrived just after 5:40 and were fortunate enough to take advantage of the early bird specials. For about twenty bucks we had our choice of six delicious items. Along with a soup or salad and a delicious spumoni ice cream. I had the caesar salad which actually had real anchovy on it. Something you rarely se these days. It was excellent. The lasagna was cooked to perfection. The ravioli were cooked just righ and were so tasty. I'm definitely coming back for more.

Lots of fun. Recommend the $20 dollar deal at 5:00 pm. The Italian food is nicely done, the singing entertaining and good Spumoni .

What a pleasant surprise and a great gem of the desert. Quite intimate without any booths, reservations here are a must! The italian cuisine is probably the best I've had and I've been to Italy and Little Italy in NYC. We ate here twice within 2 weeks. On the first visit I had Polenta with sauteed mushrooms, marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese! Outstanding and simple dish. We ordered garlic bread after we got our entrees and it took longer than it should and the staff comped it without us even asking. We saw that they have a $20 early bird menu from 5 to 6 and the second time we went we made 5:30 reservations. They serve your choice of soup or salad, a choice of one of 6 or so entrees and Spumoni for dessert. We had the lasagna which was excellent and the same size that my husband had on our first visit. We were with friends and ordered a bottle of wine that was very good and reasonable ($34). I won't give away the pleasant atmosphere presented by the staff but I can say they provide excellent and attentive service. Definitely a place we will go back to often.

great food , free fun live entertainment at your table. Ate there last year and we are back in the desert for a month and have 6 people going tonight. EXCITED 3 course specials 5-6pm
It doesn't look like much when you walk by and when you go In it definitely doesn't - looks more of a bingo hall then a restaurant avoid

The restaurant itself is small, but the food and atmosphere are awesome. You will need a reservation, but you will not be disappointed. The food portions are large so plan on lefties!

Good food, good service, good singing, good time. Go and enjoy. Reservations are necessary for this unique and small restaurant (seating about 75 people).

Food was awesome. Everyone raved about their meal. Then they started singing. The waiters sing opera and show tunes. Each one unique. What a different concept. This is a must see.

Staying a night at the Sands up the street before heading home tomorrow. Finished the round of golf too late for any of our favorite happy hour spots. Had a drink at the Pink Cabana (cool place) but not feeling the spendy and fancy food for dinner vibe. Quick check on Yelp led us to Cafe Italia. Tiny place in an unassuming space next to a grocery store. Don't be fooled - service was wonderful and entertaining. Singing staff was incredibly talented and the food was classic Italian done well. Great fInd and we will definitely be back next trip.
