We have been a few times. And every time, the staff is friendly. The place is clean. Service is great, and the wait for the food is not long at all. We love going here and will continue to.

The food was very fresh and delicious. The sauces were delicious and could tell it was made there. The meatballs were large and flavorful. The plate portions was very large. The help need to be a little more attentive and the floors were very slippery when walking around. Other than that the food was very good.

I had been searching for a place where I could enjoy spicy seafood pasta like ones I've had in Houston and Dallas. This quaint and tucked away restaurant did it. It was not on the menu, but when I asked if they could make the seafood combo with the Diablo sauce, they said yes. It was fantastic! My husband had the Snapper Romana, and my son had the Linguine with lemon sauce, all of which were delicious. The portions were large enough to have more at home, which is always perfect when you find a delicious place to eat. The only thing that affected the score on the atmosphere was related to the fresh flowers at tables. They need a few Zevos close to the flowers because the flies and gnats were quite annoying. Fortunately the food was so good we didn't care. This Italian, Spanish, and Mexican family will definitely be back for more. Delicious food and great service!

We really liked this place! The restaurant is clean and nice inside. The servers are super attentive. I ordered the baked ziti with meat sauce and my husband the chicken Marsala. Both dishes were very tasty and portions were generous. Delicious mozzarella sticks too! Good prices for good food!

Had lunch today. I never knew it was here. Very good food, clean and our waitress was very nice. Cloth napkins are very clean. We will be back. Won't be disappointed. The best in Corpus.

Cafe Italia serves a nice meal. For two couples who migrated from the Midwest ten years ago we were used to better. For the Texas Coast, it was pretty good. The place was about full with a steady take out flow. We dinned on traditional Italian pasta. We saw many 18 inch pizza boxes around the room and out the door. The to go boxes spoke to generous servings. There was a large parking area serving a newish strip mall with numerous eating establishments. There is also another strip center across Staples Street, both serving hungry Walmart shoppers with numerous good culinary choices.

I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed. Always good food and good service. Large portions at great prices. My only complaint is that they don't serve cocktails, only beer or wine on the adult drink menu. That's not going to stop me from coming back though.

Good is delish. Fresh made tolls top it off. Service was lacking as we couldn't get refills on drinks. The server was lacking in service and personality. Quaint clean place with great food.
