This place’s correct name is “Italian Cafe”. This is according to the sign on its entrance. Also there is the letter V on the top of the entrance door. It is still a restaurant and a cafe. We met some friends here over coffee and refreshments. I loved the decoration in this place. I didn’t eat here so I’m not reviewing the food. Nice Italian restaurant, I ordered pizza, Alfredo pasta, Caesar salad and shrimp.. We were very happy with the delicious Italian food in this restaurant, especially the pizza and Caesar salad!! :) (The service was great) Gianna”from Philippines and “Faiza”from Tunisia were there for us and very quick when we needed something and they were very nice in dealing with us!! I recommend everyone to try this restaurant ,it is my favorite👍⭐️⭐️⭐️ They have amazing pizza, pasta and risottos. They are perfect and the most beautiful thing is the employees, especially fanus. I highly recommend it!!! The place is beautiful, amazing and I thank them.

Well, I've definitely had better Lasagna, but the tiramisu is quite good especially in terms of portion. The Lasagna: like bro, please, lets find a way to fully heat the dish if its precooked. Im not asking for a lasagna from scratch especially on a monday in a practically empty restaurant, but at least half baked and cook off on demand, i'm being realistic I think. Flavor is good, littke on the dry side and could have a little more filling and sauce, and will emphasize on the "lukewarm" center of the dish. Tiramisu: pretty good i must say, could be taller instead that wide and the presentation could be better, but the texture is on point, it would have reached traditional level with a few fixups but yes, well done on that. Service: lovely Joan is the right amount of friendly and straight to the point, not overdoing the hospitality and very respectful, also the managers visit to the table is extremely presentable and well standing. Service wins the race here for standard. I like the setup, the decor and colors: comfortable. Will give it anothwr shot on a busier evening and will update this review if needed.
