Great outdoor patio with fountain plus delicious pastas! My friend and I visited on a Saturday just after their 11:30am opening and were seated right by the fountain. I ordered the ceppo riace and my friend ordered the gnocchi al pesto. The wait staff also gave a fantastic recommendation on the Cultusboni Chianti, even allowing me to try a taste before pouring me a glass. We were also served delicious fresh bread while waiting for our food. The pastas were both amazing and served in such large portions that we had enough leftovers to take home for a second meal. Highly recommend!

We passed through this restaurant a few times, and always were attracted by its outdoor setting. We finally had a chance to go there for lunch today, and it was really a pleasantly surprise that the genuine Italian dishes were so delicious, and the price was very reasonable. The restaurant has many beautiful paintings and the settings were clean and comfortable. The outdoor area has many beautiful sculptures, make me feel like dining in Europe. The waitress was friendly and polite. We will dine there more often. I would highly recommend this restaurant to you.

We had great lunch experience at Cafe Riace. It’s a charming place with great food. We went on a Friday afternoon and the place was empty so we got very attentive service. Food was all round great. I will be recommending this place to my friends and will be visiting again. Maybe trying in the evening. They have some interesting sculptures in the beautiful garden. Overall enjoyed the experience.

Had a lovely dinner at this beautiful Italian restaurant. We went on a rainy evening and we're seated inside. We had the tomato mozzarella, which wasn't very fresh for me. The eggplant appetizer was yum with ricotta cheese slices. I had the shrimp scampi special which was a bit lemony. Husband has the chicken marsala which was delicious with a glass of red. It was a nice place, good service and next time I would probably do an afternoon visit as I would love to set in their beautiful patio area.

I and my wife went for a weekday anniversary lunch. It was easy to find street side parking on the neighboring street. There were enough empty tables available and we were promptly seated. The inside was quite quaint and charming. We ordered the Melenzane al'aceto as our appetizer with the Linguine Tutto Mare and Ceppe Riace as our main course of pasta. The eggplant item was a slight letdown for us mainlu because we weren't really expecting a sweet sauce on the eggplant, but that's how the dish is traditionally made, I suppose, so nothing against the food/restaurant. However, the pasta dishes were exquisite. All of the seafood chunks in the Linguine were succulent, fresh and delicious. The same goes for the sausages in the other pasta. The sauce and cheese were perfectly portioned and made a great pasta dish. Overall, this is a great place to try out Italian dishes. Last but not the least the owner made our anniversary special by providing complementary tiramisu and cheesecake slice - much appreciated.
