Me and my boyfriend went here last night from a suggestion of a friend. We usually explore restaurants in the city and this one's made it to our TOP list! -- It did NOT disappoint. The staffs are very friendly, and welcoming. For our first time, we ordered the flatbread and Carpaccio Veneziano for appetizers, sooo tasty and will be my usual orders once we get back, along with the octopus, I will for sure try! For main, of course we had to try the pastas, especially when I saw it's handmade and fresh! I had Parppadelle Bolognese, my boyfriend had Rigatoni with chicken, 10/10, I love how you can feel the home of Italy. For our dessert, of course the legendary one, disappointed that we had to share, LOL! We had Bellini and Moscow Mule for drinks, then Limoncello to finish, kudos to the bartender. It is for sure a hidden gem, I don't leave reviews even though I go out to restaurants from time to time, but this one really deserves it. Definitely will come back! read more

I came for their opera night and WOW she is so talented! Highly recommend coming to watch the performance as it's truly world class and insane that it's just an add on for no extra cost! The food is seasonal and delicious. The chefs/owner take care to curate the menu to every season and for our late summer, we have a plethora of seafood available so I got the seafood pasta! The squid ink pasta is a perfect al dente, the variety of seafood is absurdly abundant and the amount of seafood was plentiful. The sauce was not overpowering at all and completely balanced with the food, bringing out the best in the seafood. The bread? To die for. Fluffy, warm, exquisite, addictive. Bellinis? Give me 20. Stat. The interior feels like a lively Roma restaurant with the buzz of clients chatting and servers quickly getting the food to you. A perfect place to get a meal. 100000000/10 read more

Cafe Tiramisu is such a charming little spot with that classic, old-school Italian feel. It's classy without feeling stuffy and would be such a nice place to gather with friends, family, or even stop by for dessert after dinner. We sat at the bar and the service was wonderful! Everyone was extremely kind and hardworking, and they were even happy to make me a customized mocktail. There's something about sitting at the bar here that really adds to the old-school Italian experience. Now for the star of the night: the tiramisu. This might genuinely be the best tiramisu I've ever had. It was incredibly creamy, light, and not overly sweet; exactly how I like it. I could easily come back just for this! We also tried the cannoli, which was delightful, but one of my favorite surprises was the Moscato & biscotti. You dip the biscotti into the Moscato and OMG... such a simple but delicious pairing. Definitely recommend trying it if you've never had biscotti this way before. We ended the night with a cappuccino, which felt like the perfect way to finish everything. Overall, Cafe Tiramisu feels like a little old-school Italian escape in the city. Come for the cozy atmosphere, but do not leave without ordering the tiramisu! read more

Pasta Saturdays = new pasta spot. Tried Cafe Tiramisu and had a nice dinner with an easy dinner vibes. We got there early and were greeted warmly and promptly seated. We grabbed drinks and their dirty martini hit the spot. The bread with solid and the both pastas were exactly what we expected. No frills just good. We came early so it was only us and 2 other tables but by the time we left the place had started to fill up. Overall 10/10 will be back! read more

What a wonderful place to share a family meal. Great vibe. Best staff ever. So kind. Very helpful. We started with bread and lobster escargot. Delicious. The bread served with olive oil, balsamic glaze, fresh grated Parmesan and red chili flakes. Then Parpadelle, Nero Seafood, cheese and spinach ravioli. Every dish was perfect. Seasoning spot on with every dish. The seafood spaghetti was perfectly executed. I didn't try the ravioli but was assured by everyone at our table how delicious it was. The most loved by the kids was the Parpadelle. We ended our journey with Tiramisu and cheesecake. The best Tiramisu we've ever enjoyed. Not a bite left of our cheesecake. Loved by all. read more

We made a reservation the day before to celebrate Bastille Day. When we arrived at 5:45, the place was packed! Very fun vibes with everyone wearing cute green berets. For food, we ordered the eggplant parmesan to share, which was fine. I ordered the lasagna of short ribs as my main, which may have been one of the best lasagnas I've ever had in my life. The pasta tasted super fresh and I loved the truffle sauce the lasagna came with. My friends all agreed their pasta dishes were the stars of the show. For dessert, we had to get the tiramisu (of course) as well as the basque cheesecake. Both were tasty, but I think the basque cheesecake was actually the favorite among the table, which was surprising given the restaurant is named after the tiramisu! Overall decent food with the pasta standing out. Given that it was a special event with Bastille Day, the service was quite slow. We had to wave down waiters at least three times for each request, whether it was getting our menus, ordering the food, or paying the check. Our dinner ended up taking nearly 3 hours for something that was supposed to be quick and casual. I do appreciate that they were working hard the entire time, but I think they may have been shortstaffed for the event. Still a good time with friends though! read more

Authentic Italian in a 'Little Italy' type setting with checkered tablecloths & old school Music. Also, the Food is awesome. Starters - Nice Lobster served Escargot style, fresh & light grilled Octopus but Eggplant parmigiana a bit lacking. Mains - Huge grilled Salmon with a tasty sauce, yummy Pappardelle, Cheesy Cacia de Pepe. But the piece-de-resistance was the Cioppino - full flavor lobster broth with generous amounts of clam, mussels, shrimp, fish. The best I have had this side of the pond. The namesake Tiramisu lives up-to its name. Tasty fare, friendly & efficient service, must try. read more

Located in an unassuming alleyway downtown, this spot is work a visit! Dining here really feels like being transported to Europe with all the stone walls and tile art. Service was nice, and it was easy to grab a table for early dinner on a weekday. Drinks are strong but taste delicious. Aperol spritz was amazing. The peach bellini tasted like real peach juice. For appetizer, we got the tuna tartare. It's wrapped inside a crispy cannoli, with chunks of avocado and a siracha mayo sauce. The fish was so fresh! Finished this in about three bites. Pasta portions are generous. I liked how rich and creamy the mushroom ravioli was, can definitely taste the earthiness. The seafood pasta was my favorite. Comes with a very flavorful sauce and black noodles. It was like a seafood boil with all the toppings like shrimp, calamari, and clams. A very cozy Italian restaurant, and now one of my new favorites in downtown. Would love to come back here to try their iconic tiramisu. read more

Celebrated my fiancé's birthday right before Thanksgiving this year at Cafe Tiramisu. We made a reservation for 10, and our table was ready before we got there. Hidden in an alley right on the border of Chinatown and the Financial District, right next to the historical Sam's Grill, Cafe Tiramisu is an intimate yet inviting place to go for dinner. Their menu changes with the seasons and availability of produce. I didn't keep track of what everyone ordered, but for the table, we ordered the grilled octopus with avocado, celery and a chimichurri-like sauce, and their bread served with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I cannot emphasize enough how good their bread is- it is fluffy yet crisp focaccia that is toasted perfectly. We ended up ordering six orders of it for our table of 12! For main courses (from what I remember), we ordered the linguine vongole (comes with clams), spinach and cheese ravioli served with pesto, spaghetti nero (like a frutti di mare, but with squid ink pasta), and cioppino. Everything was beautifully made, and my fiancé loved the cioppino! The ravioli were plump and al dente, and the clams with the linguine were fresh and perfectly cooked. For dessert, we got tiramisu, affogato, and the sundae with gianduja ice cream. Their tiramisu is known as a "PICK ME UP" (all caps), and they're not kidding! The coffee and alcohol are strong, but make the dessert. The affogato was a perfect end to a great dinner experience. I highly recommend going with a couple of friends for a fun time with delicious food and great service! read more

Great spot for a work team dinner! We had a group of 10 and Cafe Tiramisu handled us with ease. The service was super nice and very efficient. Standout dishes: * Crab Escargot, Tuna Tartare, & Carpaccio: All excellent starters. * Branzino: Fresh and expertly cleaned tableside. * Tiramisu: A must-order! The vibe is great and the restaurant is spacious. We had a wonderful time! read more

Superb. I sat at the bar on a Tuesday evening and had the arugula salad, Bolognese, cannoli, and drinks. Matteo was able to navigate the fine line of interaction and giving me peace. The food was excellent! Everything tasted fresh. I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. Small. Intimate. Personal. The pricing is fair for the area. I'm looking forward to the next time I can return. It was a little difficult to find using navigation, it's in an alley, and I had to go through the international restaurant to get to it. read more

Came here with friends because we were in the area and wanted to try a new dinner place! The food was very tasty - we got various kinds of pasta, and I tried a bit of each of my friends'. Each pasta was very unique in flavor but very delicious nonetheless! We also shared the berry crème brûlée, and it was wonderful - not too sweet with delectable berry flavor! The service was also phenomenal, as the waitstaff checked up on us periodically. The seating area is a bit small, but the ambiance is great still! I like the rustic quality of the interior as well as the general vibe :) Overall would definitely come back to try new dishes ! read more

Restaurant week! I visited with 2 colleagues for a business lunch & were happy that we were able to fit in a restaurant that was participated in Restaurant Week. I made reservations online which required a credit card (for no-shows). For $35, you can choose an appetizer & entree & everyone gets a slice of tiramisu cake for dessert. I'm writing this review 6 hours after I ate lunch & will probably skip dinner because I'm still full. The restaurant was pretty busy, but servicr was very good. I had the burrata which was delicious & had a bite of the beef carpaccio, which was very good. The pappadalle was so good that i devoured every bite. The tiramisu cake was light & fluffy, so we were able to finish our dessert although we were pretty full from our entrees. Service is very efficient & friendly as they are accustomed to the lunchtime crowd in the financial district. read more

Is this place really still open. They are terrible. Terrible obnoxious servers and managers and in an alley

Cafe Tiramisu is a charming Italian place serving up special dishes in the heart of financial district. There is an old world charm to the interior and it was packed on that Thursday lunch hour we went. With a reservation, our party of 5 was quickly seated and we ordered mostly pastas. Bread is $7 but worth it. It's a cheesy focaccia that can be shared. All their pasta is homemade and the sauce that accompanied it was very flavorful, even if it took about 25 minutes for it to come out. Linguini vongole was filled with plenty of clams and garlic butter. Our only thing would be that the "crispy chicken" entree on the menu wasn't very crispy (more like roasted). Otherwise, great place for a holiday lunch or work gathering. read more

I'm glad I gave Cafe Tiramisu a try. It's a cute little Italian spot with solid pizza, nice atmosphere, and staff that is both welcoming and slightly abrasive at the same time. It's a bit tricky to find, because it's in an alley off one of the main streets, but that does kind of add to the charm. Be sure to save space for the cheesecake. It's amazing. read more

This place does the job if you're looking for Italian food and happen to be nearby. I had the Pappardelle with (I think it was pork and beef) ragu. It was not very flavorful, but it checks the box. The pasta was also a little soft, but it also checks the box. Same with the glass of wine I had with the food and the tiramisu dessert (it could have used some coffee liqueur and one more layer of ladyfingers). Essentially, this is not a place to go if you're looking for stronger flavors and textures, but it checks the box and is great if you especially want to avoid sodium in your diet. P.S. The table next to me offered me a bite of their pizza, though, and it was actually pretty terrible... I wouldn't recommend. read more

Came here for dinner the other night and this pace was great spot! The staff was super friendly and the food was simply fantastic. I really loved the seafood pasta. It was light, refreshing and was just absolutely perfect for dinner. The portions were pretty large that we had plenty to share. For appetizers, I really loved the mushroom rage. It was a great combination creamy deliciousness that really stood out. Of course for dessert, we had to get the brownie sundae and the tiramisu. The tiramisu was light, fluffy and airy. Absolutely loved it! Cannot wait to come back soon. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

SF restaurant has come to close and it's time to post the $65/person dinner from Cafe tiramisu! Lobster "escargot style": Nice buttery pieces of lobster! Had some sort of bread crumbs sprinkled over as well for a nice change in texture Steamed mussels: They were good, but nothing to write home about. The sauce/broth with them was very flavorful Cioppino: Great seafood, none that were "fishy" HOWEVER it tasted very very similar (if not the same) as the sauce/broth that came with the mussels. So a little redundant but nonetheless good flavor. Rack of lamb: We asked for the lamb to be medium rare, but it definitely came out medium (sorry no money shot). My not so picky boyfriend still ate it up and loved the asparagus that came with it. The lamb itself was alright flavor wise. Caprese cake: The cake was decent and my boyfriend was a big fan as it "wasn't too sweet." Maybe a tad dry, which may be how it's supposed to be, but I wouldn't know (so take my opinion with a grain of salt). Tiramisu: At long last, the dessert that the restaurant is named after. I will admit it is definitely one of the better tiramisus I've had. the mascarpone was so fluffy and light and I liked that there was a decent layer of the lady fingers that didn't get completely overtaken by the mascarpone (although hard to see in the picture). I thought the flavors were very well balanced, not overpowering in any way. Overall, the restaurant wasn't too bad and had good tasting food BUT I'm not sure I'd come back without the discounted/prix fixe menu price. read more

My dad D. Sullivan recently took us to this delightful cafe. The service was excellent, the food amazing (we had the carpaccio, lamb chops, ciopinno, potato gnocchi, and various desserts) and --as a history buff--I loved the ancient Roman and Italian motif. I highly recommend this charming restaurant. :) M. Sullivan read more

The food was pretty good at this place but it was kinda challenging to choose because the day we came there (it was on a weekend evening) they were not making any pizzas as their owen was broken and also they didn't make gnocchi. So we went with pappardelle and spaghetti nero both of which were fresh and portions were generous. The service was fast and friendly but I was lacking an atmosphere (maybe because we got a table on a terrace). Anyways, it's a decent traditional Italian restaurant, and worth trying out but be aware that the menu doesn't always match what they actually serve. read more

Decided to plan a last minute with colleagues during the first day on a work trip. This location was conveniently closely and Italian was safe option. The interior is rustic and homey with kind staff from the host to our waiter. However, the experience itself was underwhelming and lackluster. The restaurant needs some more upkeep as I noticed their table clothes were still stained... We weren't feeling that hungry for appetizers, so we decided to straight into entrees. The dishes are eye catching, but the taste was satisfactory to a point. My colleague and I shared their pasta, and the waiter was nice enough to split the dish for us in half in separate plates. Yet, I didn't find anything special with the dish. My colleagues liked the place, but it wasn't a strong like. Our waiter did give us bread, but he neglected to tell us that we would be charged for the bread for $7 per portion for the table. The place has charm, but I would explore other restaurants next time. read more
