My husband and I just tried this place for the first time and I honestly cannot wait to go back again. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are in an Italian cafe including the sound of the staff speaking Italian throughout the meal. The food was amazing, flavorful, and authentic. The service was quick and professional.

This was a great hidden gem in Eugene. I hadn't heard of it before trying it but I will definitely be coming back. Amazing service that doesn't rush you out or check in too much and the food was great. The place felt just like a restaurant in Italy and had a great selection of wine and cocktails, plus some of the best bread I've ever had!

We absolutely loved this restaurant!! We are new to Eugene and come from a big city known for its good restaurants - and we were very impressed!! From the moment we arrived we were nicely greeted with a smile, and sat in the gorgeous front dining area that feels like you are in a greenhouse. The music was great, and now the food - WOW!!! We could tell the ingredients were top quality - as could my husband who trained in culinary arts. Thank you for a lovely experience - we will be back again and again! 🙌🏼

A True Hidden Gem in South Eugene! Cafe Med is hands down one of the best-kept secrets in Eugene. Every visit feels like coming home to family where warmth, hospitality, and delicious flavors meet. The Italian cuisine is consistently outstanding, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with complex flavors. From the perfectly cooked steak to the delicate fish dishes and the incredible tuna tartare, I’ve never had a plate that didn’t wow me. Their cocktails especially the espresso martinis are divine, and the wine list is impressively curated. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, the service will make you feel like a VIP. The cozy, elegant ambiance completes the experience, making it a perfect night out. Plus this is where my significant other and I had our first date and we keep coming back as it is almost as amazing as him. Pro tip: Reservations are a must, and trust me you’ll want to keep coming back.

This is a great date night place. We had the branzino special, bolognese, and calamari as the appetizer. The latte was a wonderful after dinner treat with the mousse. The service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I highly recommend this place for dinner. We will be back.

We really enjoy this restaurant! We live very close by and have been here multiple times. It's been a go to date night spot as well as a really great place to have a cozy meal. The tiramisu is to die for, and I have had a lot of tiramisu. It tastes like someone's grandma made it, in the best way. The only comment I will make is that the service can be a little bit inconsistent, and sometimes they make changes to the menu that are not my favorite. that being said, it is nice to try new things on occasion but it's always a bummer when I see something I really loved disappear from the menu. I really love that they have a small menu, but execute those things really well. I would highly recommend this for date night, or any sort of special occasion. It's one of the hidden gems in Eugene, don't let the location fool you!
We were delighted to find this little restaurant nestled away in the south part of Eugene. The service was amazing as was the food. We split one of the specials (Lobster and Crab Ravioli) to start. A spark of lemon led the way, which balanced the seafood flavors perfectly. My dining partner and I both chose the Ribeye with Green Peppercorn sauce for our mains. It was perfectly cooked and so tender and yummy! Lemon cello gelato finished up a delicious meal in a cozy atmosphere. Once again, high marks to our server. She made things extra fun.

We met friends for dinner last night. None of us had ever been here. My wife found this place on a search for good restaurant and great reviews. We were beyond pleased with her choice!! Our server Crystal was a wealth of knowledge on their specials as well as their menu. She was on top of everything and the food was just as exceptional!! The atmosphere was also great and it wasn’t annoyingly loud in the restaurant we were able to carry on good conversation plus the bottle of great wine helped :)!! We will definitely be back and the 4 of us highly recommend them!! You won’t be disappointed!!

The truffle cream ravioli was a 10/10 dish. Flatbreads and espresso martini were on point. Service was perfect.

It was solid c. Food was not worth the price. It didn't have a lot of flavor. The atmosphere was cozy, but we were sitting right under ductless hvac system. We were so uncomfortable with the heat. We asked to move immediately, and they said they couldn't move us, but they would turn the heat off. Another waiter turned it on right away. We told him tonpkease turn it off and proceed to argue with us about it. Instead of trying to fund a better solution. We all felt it was meh. Drinks weren't that great either.
