The food and service is always exceptional. I always leave a clean plate.
The food was impeccable and the service on par with what we’ve received in the past. It was quiet and you could hear other talk.
The food was delicious. We had the crab corn chowder soup, very good temperature and great taste. Same with the eggplant parmisian. The flavor of the sauce was perfect. In addition, the wait staff was both attentive and friendly.
This place was amazing, from the moment that I tasted the first bite it transcended beyond any expectation I had. The place is small but cozy and for a romantic date with your partner is perfect. I strongly recommended.

It is a nice little restaurant. The patio was romantic. The food was great. The staff was also very nice. Great place to go for a date.
Charming, quaint atmosphere. I felt like I was at an Italian family’s home for dinner. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
I had chicken scallopini, I didn't taste any wine in it, it hardly had any mushrooms, the chicken was very tough, the gravy tasted like uncooked flour. I also had the spinach salad which hardly had any Gorgonzola in it, just a few morsels. The salad had no flavor. On the other hand my daughter had tortellini which she raved about. For dessert my daughter had crème brûlée which she did not care for and I had cappuccino which was delicious. The ambience was delightful. I would be willing to try the restaurant again to see if perhaps I just ordered a bad dish.
The atmosphere and service were very nice.

Not one person spoke to us for over 30 min, staff was rude
Food wa very good the service staff was great
Consistently great food and service. Always feel welcome.
The food was good but not fabulous. Because the prices are higher you expect more. Marinara sauce was very salty. We have experienced this in other visits. Service could be more attentive. I did not like the ravioli appetizer. Calamari was oily and not golden.
the son is worting hard
I brought my husband and in-laws here b/c it was always so good in the past. They say us upstairs, alone at 1st, but 2 other tables occupied shortly after. That's when our service rapidly declined. It took a good 35 to 40 minutes before we got our meals. It may had something to do with our waitress talking about European living with a couple at the other table. Just when I was going to interupt her and ask her to check on our food, she excused herself and told the couple " so sorry but I must check on their meal" and downstairs she went. She arrived 10 minutes later with our meals. My salmon dish was cool and not edible. She brought back another hot microwaved plate of food. It seemed to have that microwave touch but to their credit, I couldn't prove it. At the end , I did leave our waitress a 20% tip on the full amt of 180.00 before the coupon was applied. My husband was a little miffed at me for leaving 20%. He had to remind me that tips are a reflection of the service.. A reminder I won't forget again. My in-laws frequent Giovannies Italian and the food and service is better hands down. I do hope this was just an off night for this quaint little place. However, it's too far to travel to take another chance.

Server was great, check with us several times during our meal. Food couldn't have been better, cook perfect, and good portions.
Server was very pleasant and accommodating. Good value for good food.
Impressed with friendly staff. We enjoy the cozy dining room.
Aggie our waitress was wonderful
Server was great. Food was terrific!
Everything was excellent except I made the reservation online, and when we arrived exactly on time for our reservation they said they weren't open yet I picked the time based on options on the website. They still seated us and we had a drink and waited the extra 30 minutes until we were able to place our orders. One would assume if you have an online reservation system someone would have known about it and contacted me.
Very quaint and charming restaurant . The food was excellent and the service was excellent .
Quiet, pleasant atmosphere. Delightful and actively engaged owner. Excellent choice and taste of food.
Small intimate setting and fantastic food. Waitstaff was excellent
We love everyone that works there. They are wonderful people.
Great atmosphere and tasty food
Wonderful morning atmosphere sitting on the patio watching all the activity pass by.
Intimate atmosphere with in/outdoor seating options, friendly and attentive service, well-executed Italian food, fair wine selections, and if I were you, I wouldn't skip dessert. You can thank me later in between bites of tiramisu. I'll be returning. Very soon.
My boyfriend and I had an excellent time together for dinner. Our server was friendly, polite, and very knowledgeable about the menu. It was great to have her assistance in chiding our entrees and wine for the meal. The food itself was fabulous as well. At the end of the evening, we were both too full for dessert.
Service was slow and wait staff never smiled
Italy has come to American. Everything was just superb. Looking forward to going back to Cafe Trastevere next visit to Orlando.
REAL Italian and the most wonderful family that runs the restaurant. Everything is fresh and cooked when ordered.
service horrible..... seated quickly while waiting for friends 15 minutes. Elder gentleman brought butter and bread BUT our waiter didn't bring menus or water until other couple showed up. A preview of the service to come? Food was excellent but we had to track down our waiter for everything we wanted. At end waiter took the plates but didn't offer coffee or desert!!!! Asked for cork for remaining wine. 15 minutes later had to ask again for a cork for the wine and a check! Too bad, the other couple work close to there and although the food was excellent, hesitant regarding waiting and fighting to get service from waiter.
WONDERFUL AND FOOD AND SERVICE
Best grouper and pasta dish in my life. No kidding.
Friendly staff, explained menu options well, great selection, excellent portions, authentic Italian
Really great food, authentic Italian food and the waitstaff was really friendly and attentive! We loved it here!
We really enjoyed the Atmosphere!
Nice place, tasty food, it would just be nice if the employees were a little mOre friendly. The bartender Didnt even look at us when we walked in and the others were not very friendly, maybe because we came with our baby.....
The experience was great but honestly the food was a bit salty. Use less salt!
I placed a reservation. When we arrived they had us stand in a crowded, small space, that was not suitable for a lobby, for about 5 minutes. What made it worse is that this "lobby area" was also where 2 dining tables are and the guests were looking at us as if we were in the wrong place. Although we had a reservation the man that greetes us said he only had outside tables. We thought this would be okay but the table outside was a very small maybe 12"x12" table (tiny) that barely anything fit on. Then it started raining. No one came to ask if we wanted to move inside. Then it started pouring so we went under a larger table that was a few feet away that had a patio umbrella. It took us about 90 minutes before our entrees arrived. It was a pretty poor experience. We ordered calamari, it came out chewy. We expected a lot more. I wish I could get my credit for restaurant.com back.
Great pizza and subs!
Very fair drink prices and their pizza flavor is one of the best around!
Fantastic food and friendly people. Thanks for a lovely dinner!
