We eat here once or twice a month. Very exceptional. Wednesdays are 1/2 price appetizers and 1/2 price bottles of wine. Over time, we've had almost everything on the menu. It's always fresh and prepared correctly. The staff and service are tops also. You could drive by here every day and not notice this place, it's tucked away in the middle of a strip center, but don't let this stop you from checking this place out. read more

Can't believe we passed by this place for so many years! Best Italian food in the area! We have loved everything we have tried! The capellini San Marco is my go to! read more

Exceptional dining at a reasonable price. The restaurant is a casual sit down place with waiter service . Perfect for us. We had a pizza and chicken parmesan on this trip. It came with complimentary garlic rolls and a small salad. The pizza had very high quality meats and distinctly good flavors, unlike many pizzas you get today that are rather bland. My wife loves the thin crust cheese with black olives. The chicken parmesan was also seasoned well and the portion size did not leave you feeling hungry. It was our first time there and we will definitely be coming back. I forgot to publish the first review so I will just add my second. We are becoming regulars there. About once per week so far. This time we had the lasagna and pizza. The pizza was great as usual. I thought the lasagna could be a little more seasoned but it was still very good. Just picky I guess. It was certainly far better than most. We have lived within 3 miles of this place for several years and never knew it existed until I saw it on Yelp! Now we can get good Italian food without having to drive to Star Pizza or Antonio's read more

Chicken Alfredo was amazing and your pizza was tops. I think we found our new Italian place. Black and white mouse cake was perfect, not to sweet but I wanted a bigger slice... overall.. highly recommend this place. read more

My wife and I just moved into the neighborhood and we needed some Italian food to help us get our second wind for all the unpacking. Saw this place and thought we'd check it out. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food was amazing. Everything was fresh tasting. The portions are enough for two meals and it tasted like homemade. The wait staff were very prompt and respectful. Since it is family owned they genuinely care that you have a good experience. I will definitely be returning. read more

First time here and last time. Food was bland and flavorless had better pizza out of the frozen food section at the store. The owners yelled a lot. Only thing redeeming is the free bread. read more

This is almost a really good restaurant. There's clearly some talent in the kitchen, and a strong effort is being made at every level - menu, décor, cleanliness, cooking. But...it's not great. The Caesar salad is weak, with a bland dressing that seems intended to not offend rather than to impress. The meatballs are okay - chewy, almost sausage-like, but again, a little weak on flavor. Pasta was excellent - cooked properly, light and delicious. The caprese salad suffered from tasteless tomatoes, bland mozzarella and insufficient basil. Chicken parm was very good, nice tomato sauce, nice breading. Service was "youthful" - good effort, great care, but still slow and forgetful. It took 10 minutes before we had water, 15 for bread, the wrong salads came out, but all with heart-felt apologies and immediate correction. We'd rather not have the slowness or mistakes to start with. This place is popular - on a Sunday night it was 3/4 full and there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Almost all were families from the surrounding neighborhoods, dressed in shorts and t-shirts. Nice, friendly, casual atmosphere. With a little more experience the young servers will smooth things out. I'm not so sure the kitchen will be making the same improvements. We may come back again, in a few weeks, but maybe not. Our search for great Italian food on the north side continues. For now, the reigning champ stays Carrabba's at Champions. And that's not great either, but it's very good. A step up in quality and décor, but in cost as well. read more

Best Pizza in the Spring/Klein area. Kind staff. Excellent service. Super impressed with this place. No one in the area has better Pizza.

I had the chicken piccata and it was awesome ! Great waitress and big portions. Can't wait till I get back!

We love this restaurant! Food is always delicious. We actually have not tried any pizza here, but we have tried multiple pasta meals and have not been disappointed! The garlic/bread rolls given are delicious too. My favorite thing about this restaurant is actually the size. It's pretty small inside and intimate. We have never had to wait for more than 5 minutes for a table and that's on Friday and Saturday nights too. When we want a relaxed italian meal and don't want to wait an hour for a table, we always go to Italian Cafe. Since the restaurant is so small the waitstaff has always been great and quick. read more

We love this place! We live very close and still come here all the time and we don't get sick of it. The owners and kitchen staff really do their best to create a unique and excellent dining experience. The little garlic bread squares and the homemade salad dressing are awesome! My Wife and I have had almost every dish there and have never been disappointed. Service is always on point too! An absolute diamond in the rough. read more

My wife and I have never been here before and WOW! The food was amazing from start to finish. For dessert we tried the Cannoli and spot on!! Definitely coming back again soon. Oh and the garlic knots UMMM some of the best and couldn't stop eating them. Highly recommend this place. read more

We found this place as a result of the wonderful reviews found on Yelp! We have been here a total of three times now and let me tell you, CONSISTANT! It has been fantastic each time we have been in. We have tried something new on each visit and so far EVERYTHING has been great! They have the best garlic bread and they will keep it coming. I am a huge iced tea fan and they have the best. I recommend this to anyone looking for great Italian food. read more

Best Baked Ziti I have had. Portion are just right. Highly recommended. Also, got try their key lime pie.

Have eaten here 3 times, have been impressed each time. Excellent food, very attentive service, great experience overall. Recommend this place for a good meal!!! read more

Recommended by a friend. Don't be fooled by the simple strip mall exterior. Food, atmosphere, staff were all great!

Moved to Spring from New York 7 weeks ago and my family and I have been searching for a place to call home for our pizza needs and we finally found it! I am excited to do a sit down dinner and get to the rest of the menu but for now we are pleasantly surprised to have a piece of real pizza pie. Thanks! read more

Great small Italian restaurant. Very attentive wait staff and pricing is reasonable. Had two baskets of the bread while enjoying some wine. Ordered the Fra Diavolo, a spicy sausage and ziti pasta dish, with tomatoes and mushrooms. I like spicy, so this was right up my alley. Also, had the house salad, which was nothing special, but was not bad either. A classical guitarist was playing, which happens on Thursday nights. Nice ambiance and a perfect place for a nice, un-rushed dinner. read more

The wife and I met a college buddy for supper and picked this place because it's halfway between us. The reviews looked good, so it fit the bill. Wow, did we chose well. This place is amazing. Excellent service, wonderful food and reasonable prices. We will be back! read more

Awesome little hole in the wall place, I had the cheese ravioli and it was great. Their garlic knots are delicious, definitely can't have just one. You can tell that everything is fresh here; there's an open window that sees over the kitchen, so you can watch them making their breads and pizzas. The restaurant is small compared to others but the food and service is great, the hostess was attentive and friendly to everyone, she had seated us as well as brought out our beverages, took our orders and brought them to our table. She was awesome. I will be coming back indefinitely the next time I'm craving homemade, fresh Italian. read more

For our 37th Monthiversary dinner, we went to one of our Most Favorite Spots... the Italian Cafe on Kuykendahl. It's Saturday night and we know they are going to be packed and that we might have to wait...and it was. We arrived at 6:58pm, just 2 minutes ahead of the crowd. We only waited about 2 minutes and were seated at the last table that was open. Right when we were seated, 9 people walked in the door. Our waitress, Zoly, which we had before, was right there and stayed on top of everything the entire night. She is terrific. They brought out their very garlicky bread rolls that were deliciously wonderful. I ate two basket fulls (wife had 2 breads). We started off with some Cabernet Sauvignon which we really love. Great tasting, very smoooooth wine that soooooths ones tummy and satisfies the brain. We did not order any appetizers because we know they serve a lot of food on the plate and I wanted room for desert. My wife ordered the Special..the Seafood Shells; Large Shells stuffed with Shrimp, Crab, Whitefish & Salmon with Creamy White Sauce, oven baked. (this is not listed on their menu but they hope it will be). I ordered the Chicken Napolitano; lightly breaded & fried Chicken Breast, topped with Roasted Red Peppers, Ham, Mozzarella Cheese & Tomato Sauce, oven baked. Our waitress brought our salads which had cold, crisp, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, shredded carrots and a dressing that was really tasty. This was the best salad ever. The main entree's arrived as we finished the salads and they looked beyond delicious. My wife said that this is by far the Best Stuffed Shells she has ever had. Each bite was filled with the taste of all the S.C.W.S. inside and with that Creamy White Sauce...it exploded in your mouth an unbelievable deliciousness. I know, I ate the last one. My Chicken Napaolitano was the most tastious I have ever had. The Chicken was seasoned throughout and the toppings were just the right touch...this Chef knows what he is doing. When we finished, I was full, but still wanted desert. They write on the Blackboard what deserts they have that day and listed was 'Pumpkin Cheesecake'. Hey, it's October and that is 'Pumpkin Month'...so naturally I ordered the Pumpkin Cheesecake. I was not disappointed. This Cheesecake had a light Pumpkin taste that was really, really good.. not strong at all but not weak. The texture was very creamy and rich but not overly sweet. It came with carmel drizzled all over the plate and Pumpkin Cheesecake. I ate it all and never regreated being stuffed to the hilt...whatever a hilt is. We love the Italian Cafe and tonights dinner is the reason why we love it here. Yes, our waitress, Zoly, received yet another 'Dollar Bow Tie'....and she does remember the other ones she received from us. When we left at 8:45pm, there were 12 people waiting for a table. This place is really busy on the weekends, but it is worth the wait if you have too. We try to come here during the week nights to avoid the crowd. If you have not ever been here, do yourself a 'flavor' and do so.....and save room for desert. read more

This place is awesome. Great food, good price, very responsive service. as crazy as it sounds even the ice tea was great.

My wife and I stumbled across this little gem of a cafe. The food is AMAZING, and the staff is very friendly. We have been back several times and always love the different dishes we have tried. Be sure to ask for the bread, you will not be disappointed! read more

One of the best places I've eaten in a long time. I've become a regular here and that's because of their AMAZING food. The garlic bread rolls they give you are fantastic. Try the spinach and artichoke dip!! They have half price appetizers every tuesday. Their fettuccine alfredo is also to die for. I never ever leave unsatisfied. read more

This was our first trip, and the Service was great, ask for Sarah, She was on her game tonight! 3 kids shared the large pizza, and loved it! Good recommendations from the staff, and the dishes with cream sauces were good. We'll go back for a red sauce dish. Also, we've lived in the area for 3+ years and driven right by because it seems like a hole in the wall, don't judge the book by its cover!!! Place was full, and there was a wait by the time we left, well worth it! read more

Came here for date night and enjoyed my overall experience. Upon arrival we were seated and were presented with delicious garlic knots. They were so soft and buttery. I could've ate 100 of those and been pleased with my overall meal, but luckily I did not. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti and it was delish. The serving was huge and you can definitely taste that the sauce was homemade. We finished up with a tiramisu & it tasted as if it was store-bought which is preventing me from giving this place a full five stars. read more

This is my boyfriend and i's little date night spot. Thursday's they ah e half off appetizers so it's we get some Togo for the weekend as well. Such a cute little restaurant but they have an open kitchen concept which is freakin awesome, coming from someone in the service industry. We love this place and recommend to anyone. We've gone twice a month for the last four months and have never been disappointed! The spicy chicken pasta is the BOMB! read more

This was a really nice place, nothing fancy. I had lasagna, and it was excellent! When it came out it looked really small at first, but look can be decieving. I was very full. The service was also excellent. The waiter was very attentive. I'll definitely be back! read more

Best service we have had at a restaurant in a really long time! Everything is fresh and oh so tasty. We have been here a few times and I have yet to be disappointed. Last time I got the Capellini Primavera with Chicken. The veggies (spinach, zucchini) were so fresh and yummy, the sauce garlicy and light. I wanted to take left overs home for lunch the next day...but I ate it all. The hubs got the Cresfollini which he loved as he is a Cheese-aholic. I can't wait to visit again and try the Pizza, or order take out! read more

2nd visit and it was even better then the first! The shit waiters are gone and are replaced with top notch servers! Good was on point! I will be back with a huge party!!!! read more

This is small neighborhood place however there is nothing small about the flavors of the food. The Chicken Marsala was excellent and the house garlic rolls were very good also. I wiil be going back. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. It is in a old shopping center but their food is amazing. We have been there 4-5 times now and tried several different meals and everything is yummy but the chicken parmesan has to be my fav. This is a must try! read more

Another great Italian spot. The staff, service,and food are excellent. The prices are a little up there, but I'd say they're probably worth it. That's how good the food is - and the desserts too!! read more

First time here - great bruschetta, nice house salad with herby homemade Italian dressing. My husband lived his lasagna and I enjoyed my fettuccine Alfredo with mushrooms added. We will be back to try again. read more

Love this place. Great food, great service! They make sure to take care of their customers. Portions of food are perfect! This is my favorite place to get fettuccine chicken Alfredo read more

We ate here last weekend and it was AWESOME! We ordered lasagna, cheese raviolis, pizza and spaghetti with meatballs, EVERYTHING was delicious! and don't get me started on the freshly filled conolli's! The service was excellent and we will be returning customers for sure! read more

Our experience here was awesome great food great service! Their garlic bread rolls are delivered piping hot straight out of the oven. We ordered the meat amore pizza and an Alfredo pasta both tasted spectacular. They helped us pair a wine with our meal by giving us some wine samples which always helps to decide on one. A detailed side note are the actual fresh flowers on the table we had lilies at ours and they help set a welcoming environment. Overall wonderful experience definitely am planning another visit soon. read more

We had the classic italian pizza and the pasta scampi romana. I liked the crispy pizza crust and not greasy pasta here. My husband and I are really satisfied. read more

Had the seafood soup. Very good. I thought the portion would be bigger, not that you can't make a meal out of it, but I think if you have a big appetite, order the seafood pasta. My 3 yr old had the kid's pizza and it was very large. Overall very good food and great service! read more

The pizza is good, the house salad is good, but the rest was a huge let down. We were excited by all of the great reviews, but the food just didn't measure up. There is a lot better Italian out there. read more
