081 Cafe offers a mix of experiences, with the service being excellent at times and delivering food promptly. Customers have enjoyed delicious meals like crab cakes and old world house salad, and the fish specials are also popular. However, there are occasions when some dishes, such as shrimp scampi and pork caponata, fall short. Despite this, the pizza remains a reliable choice. The overall atmosphere is pleasant, although it can be a bit loud when busy. The staff can make a significant difference in the dining experience, but recent reviews indicate that some new staff may not be as welcoming or attentive.
Customers have particularly praised the octopus appetizer and the homemade truffle pasta with mushrooms, with many calling the truffle pasta something special that they will not forget. The stuffed artichoke appetizer, however, was not as well-received. Customers are willing to give the restaurant another chance, believing that if they order the right items, they could become regulars.
The cafe has also become a go-to spot for ladies' night dinners, where customers have been welcomed and treated well. Takeout orders have been a positive experience. However, there have been some complaints about slow service and issues with the BYO wine policy, such as the waiter taking the cork after opening the bottle. Overall, for those seeking a fast and tasty meal, 081 Cafe might still be a good option.
