    It is cute and very different vibe. I liked the glass my drink came in. A little pricey.

    Banan nut waffle

    Super cute ladies brunch spot! It has all the things for this category: - Super cute atmosphere (think lilac accents, 3 disco balls, a beautiful Renaissance ceiling and a flower wall) - The menu! (Thibk banana walnut waffles, strawberry French toast with cream cheese layers and the fresh mozzarella on the panini's!) - 2 pages of specialty martinis (and they do floghts) - Specialty coffee It was a girls brunch day and I loved this place! The music was bumping. The food was delicious. I would highly suggest Cafe Italia! (I had a strawberry mimosa, we shared buffalo chicken dip- those litanfried pita crackers were delicious, banana walnut waffles- so flavorful and chocolate peanut butter cake- think more peanut butter mouse inside. It was ok.) Our waitress was sweet but they were out ofna few things like brown sugar falling for a lof of drinks and my friend ordered a salad that featured fennel and they had no fennel.

    Hot & iced toffee latte
    Christine S.

    Been seeing them all over social media and the tempting flights they offer. Went on a Sunday for brunch and tried the hot toffee latte which was fine. Boyfriend had the iced version and it was not up to par, legit tasted like milk and no espresso. The milk to espresso ratio was not it!! He had the breakfast burrito and strawberry French toast which the French toast was so good!! The burrito looked good too but I was too full to try it. Was well made, fresh ingredients and thicccc. I had the bbq ck flatbread which I really enjoyed. Flavors married well together and overall quality of the food is good. Price was not but it's fed hill so that's not surprising. On street parking but during holiday season is free for a certain timeframe.

    Banana Cream Pie

    What an absolutely dreamy cafe! We shared a latte flight, which was a great way to sample several drinks at Cafe Italia. From peanut butter cup to pistachio, my vote goes to the matcha. Even with the alcohol, the earthiness of the green tea still came through, which I really enjoyed. The presentation was adorable, and I appreciated that each drink in the flight was labeled. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the vibrant design and beautiful art on the ceiling. Cafe Italia really nailed their interior, capturing that dreamy, angelic vibe throughout the space. There were plenty of seats, but it seemed we came in on a super busy night when everything was full. Luckily, we snagged a window seat overlooking Federal Hill - a total win in my book. I had mixed feelings about the banana cream pie. The cream was delicious, but the graham cracker crust didn't hold up as well as I'd hoped. The caramelized banana could've used a bit more time, as it tasted slightly underripe. Still, the presentation was lovely. A good spot for dessert - I'd definitely come back on a less busy night. We did have a bit of a wait, but our waitress was so friendly and personable that it made up for it!

    I came here with a few friends for a bachelorette party brunch. Prior to this day, I had never ever realized this place was on the Atwells strip since there are so many small business side by side. I arrived around noon, and when I pulled open that door it felt like I had transported to another little world. There's a lot of light pink and purple, lots of Greek mythological looking statues and concepts, along with gold fixtures. Oh, and a disco ball! There is a more private little elevated area by the window that could comfortably host a party of 5-6 people and the bar has about 5 chairs. Since we were going to be a group of 9, we sat at the tables. The tables are nice for smaller groups of 2 or maybe 3, but for large groups it can get tight since the tables are small and round - but we made it work. During our time there, it got really busy, and it seemed like there were only two servers so it was sometimes hard to get small stuff like water, utensils, napkins. Considering this, our food came out at a good time, and still warm. I ordered the Turkey BTLA, but requested to have pesto mayo added to it, as well as  truffle added to my tater tots. I thought it was a good sized sandwich, with good flavor. I would've liked if there was pork bacon, but since they're halal, they only carried turkey bacon. I was also able to try the buffalo chicken dip and though it was not spicy, it was creamy and the pita chips were extremely good. For a drink, I sipped away at a strawberry latte. It was a very pretty drink, but it was a bit too sweet for me. I definitely recommend mixing it all together for a homogenous flavor. For the ambiance and the location, I would say prices were fair, and the menu is long - both drinks and food - so there is something for everyone. Parking can be terrible depending on the time of day but there's usually spots open on side streets.

    The turtle martini was so good! The establishment is so pretty, with good music. The service was great as well with good recommendations.

    Cute spot to hang out. Great drink selections and the best creme brûlée Ive had. Staff was super friendly and attentive upon entering. Sat us down right away but we only wanted to order drinks and leave. Would love to go back and enjoy their brunch menu.

    Café Italia on Federal Hill is an absolute gem. From the moment I walked in, the service was top notch--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I ordered the Caprese Avocado Toast and was pleasantly surprised to receive not one, but two generously topped slices. The combination of creamy avocado, fresh mozzarella, and juicy tomato was spot on--both in taste and presentation. It felt like a great value for the price. To drink, I tried the Spicy Mocha Latte, which delivered just the right amount of heat to complement the rich chocolate and espresso flavors. Unique and delicious. The ambiance of the café really pulls everything together. The decor is warm and thoughtfully styled, making the experience all the more enjoyable. If you haven't checked out Café Italia yet, I highly recommend giving it a try--you won't be disappointed.

    Cranberry mimosa
    Jamie A.

    Very impressive decor here! The walls and ceiling have cherubs, angels, and gods painted~ they seem to serve breakfast foods for most of the day and drinks. I had a turkey pesto panini and it was good. Not the main reason I'd come here. The fries were perfectly crunchy and warm. I would definitely come back for more of the drinks. The fruit loop martini was delicious~ the menu was long with different flavors and k truly enjoyed and want to try more of their martinis! Service was good. I was checked in on, and even if I didn't get my server, someone jumped in and added to my order. They seem to have great communication because when k updated the server of my addition, they all knew what I ordered and from whom, and apologized for being busy. There was a bit of a wait due to the busy hour I arrived at. The evening menu looks like something I'd like to try next!

    Thin mint
    Vijay S.

    By day, it's a cozy coffee shop; by night, it transforms into a cocktail bar. The space is decorated with Greek mythology art and features a disco ball, giving it a unique vibe. I tried the mezcal espresso martini and the Thin Mint cocktail. I was skeptical about the mezcal at first, but the martini turned out to be delicious and surprisingly good. The Thin Mint drink made for a great dessert-style cocktail, perfect after a night out on Federal Hill. The drinks were strong and the service was excellent. On the downside, cocktails were around $16-17, but it would've been helpful if the menu included the prices. Also the ambiance and the lightning could be improved at night. Overall it was a good experience.

    The bar/ half the restaurant
    Madison K.

    I saw a lot of hype for this place online so I was excited to try it! I enjoyed the food, but I will say it was nothing fantastic. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not itching to go back. The tiramisu iced latte was great! I will say that the highlight was definitely my drink. If did take over 10 minutes for them to bring it to the table after ordering it, however. We were probably one of three tables in the restaurant, but the presentation and taste pretty much made up for that. The food itself was good but nothing crazy. I was surprised that the caprese panini wasn't really a panini, but rather pieces of mozzarella and tomato on a tiny toast triangle. The tater tots were also too hard for my liking. My friend got the pancake tacos, which were just pancakes served in taco holders to give it that shape. You didn't eat it like a taco. She said it tasted good but if she had had some butter on there, it would've been great. As for service, you sat yourself, which is fine. But no one came over to give us an additional menu to the one that was already on the table, so I had to take one from the table right next to me. And again, there were only three occupied tables when we came in. We got waters right away but our drinks took forever. I also asked for the check, which is something I never do, because it seemed they weren't going to bring it out after checking on us toward the end of our meal. Ambiance-wise, the place is well-decorated, it's like disco-coquette-Italian. The decor felt on par with Kids Adventure Cuts- like they put a lot of work into maintaining the theme, but everything is a little cheap. But still! It was nice. Out of the ordinary. The patrons next to you will be right next to you; it's a small place on Atwells Ave. so you expect it. Street parking, paid meter, all that jazz. I'd still recommend giving it a go!

    Strawberry cheesecake french toast
    Mike P.

    What an amazing place to have breakfast and lunch. Firstly, Liz & all the people work there are wonderful. Top notch service. The banana bread martini was out of this world. The strawberry cheesecake french toast was great. Portion sizes are perfect. I took some paninis home. The chipotle chicken is fabulous. The chicken parm is good, but, the sauce is bland. It really needs something. Definitely coming back.

    We sat with a group of seven, understand that's not easy but they make it excessively difficult and tried to charge us all for extra drinks.

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.
