Really the ricotta filled ones are sfinge, but they are so good! It's really tough to find sfinge, too, so it was amazing that they have them. And since I was there I got cannoli, as well. Yummy! Gonna have to come back for lunch sometime. Sandwiches look great! It looks like when weather is nice they will have some outside seating, as well. Parking can be challenging and there is a small lot behind the building, but I couldn't tell if it was only for the apartments that are there or also for customers of the cafe? I will have to ask next time I go. If the parking lot is available that makes it so much easier.

It has an intimate atmosphere with a great menu - the gnocci is made in-house and was some of the best gnocci we've ever had. We also ordered the Osso bucco, Agnello (braised lamb) and the Salsiccia which were great. The prices are fantastic for the quality of food and service you're receiving so I'd highly recommend Mele for a date night or small group dining. We will definately be back and kudos to the chef for creating fresh, simple meals with lots of great taste.

I had the lasagna, which was hearty, cheesy, and delicious. My wife ordered the Lemon-Asparagus Salmon, and it was amazing -- perfectly cooked salmon that was tender and flaky, paired with a rich, creamy lemon-butter sauce. The veggies were cooked al dente, with the asparagus and charred tomatoes adding a ton of flavour, and the rice was beautifully cooked and seasoned. Even the side salads came out with great presentation and fresh flavour. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves Italian/Mediterranean food -- one of St. Catharines' gems!

OMG it was outstanding. Four of us shared some appetizers, each had an entree and dessert. SO GOOD. My absolute favorite was the mushroom soup and I can't wait to come back there to have it again.
