Since they are closed on Sundays, we made a reservation for Saturday night at 9:30pm. A heads up for anyone using a Groupon or Living Social coupon here: 1. Reservations are required for coupon redemption. 2. Alcoholic beverages are not included. 3. Confirm with your server that the items you are ordering can be redeemed with the coupon. 4. Your bill must exceed the coupon value for credit notes or cash back. 5. Dine-in only, no takeout. As for the food, we ordered garlic cheese bread, an Italiano flatbread pizza, a pasta dish, a Pepsi, and an espresso. Portions were generous, with the pizza being the size of a medium pizza and tasting better the next day. The pasta was average, but the garlic cheese bread was delicious. The total bill was $46. Service was quick, possibly because we were the last customers ordering. The ambiance was quaint but I found the television unnecessary. Prices were reasonable at $12-20 per person, with large portions offered. The restaurant had an elegant yet relaxed vibe. Overall, I may consider returning.

The atmosphere is pleasant, the decor attractive. The service was polite and attentive. As some have said, it's a bit noisy and cramped, but that's why they call it a caffe and not a restaurant, and why their prices are rather reasonable. We'll definitely be back but probably not for pizza.

Located in the heart of Wellington Village, this intimate spot is a great date night.
