Really fantastic food, my favorite we're the gnocchi s with Gorgonzola sauce. The staff there was on point the entire time, very friendly and price was very reasonable for how delicious everything was. Highly recommend

Went for my anniversary and just wow. Have lived here my whole life never been and kicking myself for all the years I have missed out. Hands down one of the best meals I ever had. The staff is awesome and friendly and the food is beyond amazing. Will definitely be back.
During the last 30 years we have never had a meal that was less than perfect. Cafe Italia is the best, food, staff, my favorite place to eat by far.
I can't believe I've lived less than 3 miles from this restaurant for the past 40 years and never ate there. The meal, appetizers, dessert and service (and it was a full house) was outstanding!!! If you never been there before....it is a must. A jewel amongst so many chain restaurants, nothing compares to original receipes and outstanding cooking.
One of the best Italian restaurants you'll find, great food and even better family. Highly recommend this family run establishment.
Tonight was our first night eating here. The food was some of the best Italian food we've ever had... But, better than the food, was the staff... who not only treated us as we've known them for years, but worked so well together... defiantly something you don't see often... the staff also knew a lot of customers by first name.... obviously return customer, as we will be.
Caffe Italia has been my favorite restaurant in the Capital district for the past 39 years. Others come and go but C.I. is that standard by which I judge all the rest. Their Bolognese is the best I've had anywhere, including Boston's North End. Seafood is always excellent and their Italian bread and seasoned olive oil is to die for. The long term wait staff are the best in the area, hands down. Don't miss this gem.
Get the lobster ravioli! � It's a smaller restaurant but that's what makes it great they take time with your food and are more attentive. Making a reservation is easy, service is always great and food is worth it. I can't wait to go back for a date night.
My wife and I have come here many times because the food and service never disappoint. Thank you to the entire staff for always making your guests feel like family.
Always the best! We've never had a bad meal here! The staff makes the experience authentic.
Great staff & Great food!!! The drinks were awesome also. I definitely recommend the choclate martini!
So much to say. First, service is second to none. EVERYONE waits on you. They are responsive. Fast, but not rushed. Your meal isn’t served until you are done with apps/salad. Portions are large (but not overly). Food is ah-mazing. When you are looking for someplace for a special meal, or just a nice night out, I highly recommend. Must make reservations. Word is out about good how they are and so they are often full. Oh and if you don’t get the Gorgonzola dressing on the salad we can’t be friends. I could eat that stuff with a spoon. From our party of 6, we give it a 12 thumbs up! On a side note, this restaurant sponsors youth athletic teams locally. Even more reason to patronize this local establishment.
The food and service was fantastic! We had an exceptional dining experience!! I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dinner.
One of the best restaurants in the Albany area! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is cozy, and the waitstaff is courteous and attentive. You won't be disappointed!

Live in Brunswick Ny wanted some good food decided to try Cafe Italia Ristorante. Atmosphere was very elegant and perfect for nice romantic dinner with spouse. All the staff was very courtesy and pleasant to speak to. The foods presentation was outstanding along with the quality and taste. If live in Albany or traveling through this is a place to make sure you stop and visit. You will not be disappointed. Meals are worth every penny and you will not leave hungry. Thank you Cafe Italia For a great night out.

Absolutely amazing food with amazing staff. One of the best meals we have had! Will definitely be back.
Love it! Great service, ambiance and food- all great!
My personal favs are the creamy Gorgonzola dressing on the house salad, chicken parm and the delish ricotta cheesecake. Best place for a date and to eat with friends.
What a pleasant surprise Caffè Italia Ristorante was. I live in the Binghamton area and came to Albany to visit my daughter. We were looking for a place to eat and my daughter suggested Caffè Italia. The owner and the serving staff were very kind, knowledgeable and accommodating. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing and our meals were out of this world. I highly recommend Caffè Italia Ristorante and look forward to returning very soon with rest of my family to enjoy what I enjoyed.
