This was our first visit to this restaurant. The restaurant was a delight from beginning to the end. Service was spectacular, and the food was delicious. This is definitely a restaurant worth visit over and over. A place to WOW out of town guests. Did I mention the dessert are out of this world? So Good!!

Food was great and staff provided amazing service with a huge crowd.

Great place for our work event. Nice ambiance. The building was restored from an old motorcycle shop built in the 1920s. The buffet they served for lunch was delicious. Service was wonderful.

My first experience at Cafe’ Notte was a food and wine pairing. Both were exceptional and I was happy to leave with a bottle. I can’t wait to go back to try more from the menu.

Me and the wife attended the Italian Wine Dinner last night. What a wonderful event. Cozy, friendly atmosphere. Great wine and food pairings--our favorite was the Filet and Confronto Rosso. Both the staff and the fellow patrons were so engaging and pleasant. I am looking forward to going back very soon.

We had a private party there during the day. The food was amazing and the service was fabulous.
I would love to go back for dinner.

We went here on Valentine’s Day last week and since then we have not been able to stop thinking about how much we wish we hadn’t gone here.
I made an online reservation and when we showed up, the lot was empty enough to not have to use valet. Walking into the front it was nice right off the bat. Got seated relatively quickly as well and was able to pick where we sat which was nice as well.
When we sat, I was shocked to see a fixed menu, which was not disclosed anywhere. My fiancée hadn’t looked at the menu prior to our visit but I had and was expecting the dishes I thought she’d love to be on the menu. Immediately disappointed right off the bat. I was also very surprised to see not very much range in the pricing of the entrees. Three of them were 60+ and the other two were under 50. I ordered a drink and it came very quickly and was also delicious. I ordered the Vera or something close to that name. We decided to order one soup and one salad to share since we couldn’t decide on an app. We placed our food order and got our soup and salad relatively quickly as well. The soup was smaller than I would’ve liked it to be for the price and the same goes with the salad.
From the limited menu I got the sea bass and my fiancée ordered the seafood Alfredo. My entree was cooked and seasoned very well and I enjoyed it. My fiancées seemed a little clunky. The pasta was handmade and I thought it was super thick and undercooked/doughy. Taste overall was nice but for an almost $50 pasta dish I expected way better.
All in all we spent $200 tip included and looking back since then we could’ve gone almost anywhere in the city and spent less and had better. We don’t go out very often but we have been able to dine at some really nice places downtown and we would have rather gone somewhere else and spent way less.

HIGHLY recommend. My boyfriend doesn’t like or eat fish-he loved/eat the bourbon glaze salmon I ordered. I don’t like steak or eat meat-I eat some of his filet. The food was outstanding and the drinks are amazing! Romantic vibes and the service is amazing. A must stop!

I found this place via Google and decided to take a shot and try it for my birthday dinner tonight. I’m so glad I came upon it because it’s my new favorite Italian restaurant. The food was amazing and flavorful, it came out in a timely manner, the drinks were amazing. We met the owner and he asked how everything was, which we much appreciated. I will be back again!

Very nice atmosphere! First time going there despite passing it a million times. Met the owner in the parking lot, not knowing who she was and she was very friendly, as were the entire staff. I didn't eat due to an earlier meal, but I was in the company of 3 grown men who absolutely loved their meals, drinks and appetizers. Since it was a little family gathering, the owner ( I'm sorry I didn't hear her name!) moved us into another area away from the live entertainment so we could talk. We dined in front of a beautiful fireplace. Again, everyone went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. My boyfriend and I will definitely go back on our own. Although I've been vaccinated, it was reassuring seeing staff and customers adhering to Covid safety policies. This would be a great place to meet up with friends or for a nice romantic dinner for two. You won't be disappointed on any level!! Update: had dinner there last night 11/29/24. The maple glazed bourbon salmon was divine! My grandson, 10 had a large portion of chicken fingers and fries, husband had veal parm. The other 2 young men dining with us had chicken parm and lamb ragu. Everyone loved their food. Along with the hot bread and extentisive drink list, I loved everything about our meal. Also, every time I have been there, the chef is guaranteed to come out and make sure you are enjoying your meal. I truly appreciate that touch, especially being a chef myself. Wonderful place, wonderful food and wonderful staff! Try it....soon!

We’re new to the area so we weren’t sure what to expect. I got a Negroni to start which was solid then I ordered the short ribs with papardelle and my partner got the notte pasta (meatballs). My partner’s dish could have been a tiny bit hotter temperature-wise but mine came out perfect and I was really happy with the flavors and quality of ingredients for both dishes. We got the tiramisu for dessert which was a bit heavy on the chocolate syrup but delicious nonetheless. The owner came out to greet us during our meal which I love. Great experience, would go again.

Cafe Notte is a beautiful hidden gem of a restaurant for large parties, rehearsal dinners and and events where quality and excellence are of the upmost importance. I recently held a rehearsal dinner for my son and his wife, the wedding party and other important guests. The dinner was beyond delicious and the staff was excellent. Debbie Santucci, their party and event coordinator is top notch at her job. Every detail was carefully planned and carried out. Her goal is to make your event as perfect as possible, and she did just that for me. The restaurant has an incredible chef, (Debbie's husband) bartender, and wait staff.Every member worked to make our evening flawless. I would definitely use them again!

Wanted to give a long overdue shout out to Café Notte for making a hard event easier. I held my husband Rick Matthews Celebration of life here on July 21. It was a beautiful event and the food was superb. Debbie and Jerry really worked hard to come up the perfect food choices for the type of event and time of day and the fact that it wasn't an RSVP situation made it trickier but they did an excellent job of guiding to make the event wonderful. David also made the bar and technology set up easier too.
We had our wedding there as well 9 years earlier so has a special place in my heart for sure.
5 stars all the way

We just had our wedding at Cafe Notte last night 9/21/24. It was the most incredible event! We rented the whole restaurant and our family and friends raved about the venue, food, and atmosphere. The food and drinks are amazing. Debbie and Jerry made the day go smooth and seamless. The staff members were so nice. Our guests have nothing but incredible things to say! I would have another event at Cafe Notte in a heartbeat and we will be back for dinner often. Thank you for such an incredible day we loved every moment! -The Aikens
