What RachelW likes about Cafe Cruz Rosticceria:
Meals are always consistently delicious! Service on this particularly night was EXCELLENT and attentive. They brought over a dessert treat for my mom’s birthday. View all feedback. What Effie Ritchie doesn't like about Cafe Cruz Rosticceria:
I've been going to Cafe Cruz for over 20 years, but it's only two times since pandemic. The food was very disappointing. My burger, ordered to be moderate, came medium rarely. Prosecco immediately gave me headaches. The noise level was almost unbearable. I won't come back. View all feedback.

We had swordfish with wild mushroom risotto and salad nicoise with a nice variety of olives and generous serving of seared ahi tuna. Delicious.
