What User doesn't like about Italian Cafe:
The Italian Cafe, highly recommended as one of the top 5 cafes in the Niagara region, left much to be desired. While the food was acceptable, the service was lacking. We waited 50 minutes for our food and 40 minutes for our drinks, despite there being only 2 other tables in the cafe. The owner's sarcastic response to our complaint did not improve the situation. The panini, although tasty, were served on a hard and st... View all feedback. What User likes about Italian Cafe:
This is not your trendy espresso bar, but an authentic good quality traditional Italiancafe that serves the community without pretense and with genuine pride. Rocco was most welcoming serving solid coffees (espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, latte, etc). Worth your time to stop here for something authentic. View all feedback.

No frills...just excellent non-trendy espresso, cappuccino, etc. Fine friendly welcome by Rocco. Many locals hang out here......the opposite of trendy Starbucks...

If you're in StCatherine's and you don't go here you've missed outThe espresso was perfect.

Best espresso! A real authentic italian cafe. Delicious subs. Quick service, clean place -which is tough to do with all this snow and ice.

Beautiful atmosphere and delicious food! The coffee flight was a unique experience. I'd go back any time.

The Italian Cafe in Niagara offers a mix of experiences. While some find it lacking in service and Covid precautions, others appreciate its traditional vibe and authentic Italian coffee served by Rocco. It caters to a range of customers, from locals looking for an unpretentious spot to groups celebrating special occasions. The food receives mixed reviews, with some praising the antipasto and cannoli pie, while others recommend trying the cannoli brownies. Despite some flaws, the cafe seems to have a loyal following and potential for a pleasant experience, especially on the patio during the summer.
