Cafe Alaia Reviews
Everything is always delicious
Friendly service and terrific food. Will definitely return.
One of the worst dinners I’ve had in a long time. And we go out at least 8 times a month. Extremely rushed service, very small tables, food tasted like it was prepared yesterday and just warmed up. And worst of all the owner came over and poured gasoline on the fire. Our food was served about 7 minutes after we ordered. No time for our cocktails and the wine, which we asked to be served with dinner came at the same time as our drinks. It was like eating at a diner. ...read full review

Cafe Alaia offers a welcoming environment with impeccable service and delicious, creative food. The wait staff works seamlessly together, creating a friendly and warm atmosphere. The ambiance is perfect for a fancier night out, although prices can be a bit high. The crispy hen with vegetables remains a favorite, along with the outstanding mussels and pasta dishes. Visitors also enjoy the peaceful setting, making it a popular spot for special and tasty meals.
The restaurant features a charming and elegant, modern Italian decor. Freshly baked bread and biscotti are made in-house, and the extensive list of specials is worth ordering from. The espresso is exceptional, and the service from Fabrizio is outstanding. The owner is very welcoming, and the quaint decor is complemented by a lovely atmosphere. The staff are super nice and quick, and the Sea Bream/Orata dish and gnocchi are both delicious. While the cucumber salad special did not impress, the oversized wine glasses are a nice touch, and guests are eager to return.
