Reviews of Italian Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Joshua Packer

Good espresso. The Skor cannoli ' bad. There were a number of folks coming in for the gelato. Pretty big space with a washroom. CaSH ONLY! ATM on site.

Natural Chef Jess

Italian Cafe is one of the best spots in Niagara for authentic and affordable Italian foods and desserts. The atmosphere is so charmingly European, and you're always greeted by a friendly face! It's a great place for a date or to bring the whole family! It's a truly special spot :)

Drunks inside during the afternoon, kids in bar area, coffee server definitely not a barista, mediocre coffee.

Really fantastic food. We often get cannoli and paninis. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. The interiors are also very classy and relaxing for a sit down, and the proprietor is very friendly. Highly recommended if you're ever in the area.

The closest thing I have found to the cappuccinos I had when I went to Italy. Starbucks has nothing on these guys. They have so many different cannoli inspired desserts, but the brownies are killer.

Carol Day

super tasty

Sharlene Awat

Very good custer service! Must visit

Diana Richardson

Great place to visit. You might want to share the panini with a friend to leave room for gelato or pastry!!

Hyper Edge Inc

Great spot for that authentic Expresso experience. The staff are friendly and the shop decor is great, the patio is always a good spot.

Julie

Nov 2020: I'm hot and cold on Italian Cafe. The atmosphere is ok, but a little cafeteria like. The cannoli are very good, they make them to order to keep the shell crisp. The charcuterie board is quite good and well-priced. While the coffee (espresso & cappuccino) is very good they wouldn't serve it in china cups because their dishwasher was broken. Fine coffee in a paper cup doesn't cut it. Weird since they are a very small-volume place, and they had made an exception a few days earlier. This service-gap caused us to walk out and go elsewhere. It simply took the joy out of the moment my wife and I were having. I have hopes that they'll address this service gap. Unfortunately, Italian Cafe will no longer be our first choice for an afternoon coffee & treat.

Cute and authentic café. Love the fresh made cannoli and sandwiches. Friendly owners :)

Kate Frank

Their cannoli is to die for, as are the many flavours of gelato. Good coffee, and a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. This is my new fave place to take my kids! 10/10!

Deryk

Cannoli charcuterie is always a favourite, cannoli brownies are to die for, and you can't beat gelato.

Natalia Farina

Amazing cafe! Delicious food and great service! :)

(Translated) First visit today and not the last, we will definitely be back on our next visit to Niagara. This Italian cafe has a very nice box of cold cuts to go, ideal for a day exploring the vineyards. We tasted ours on the terrace of the Hernder vineyard and everything was perfect. They also make delicious cannoli, gelato, and coffee. A special mention for the owner who was very kind. thanks again (Original) Première visite aujourd’hui et ce ne sera pas la dernière, nous allons assurément revenir lors de notre prochaine visite a Niagara. Ce café Italien a de très jolie boîte de charcuterie pour emporter, idéal pour une journée à parcourir les vignobles. Nous avons dégusté la nôtre sur la terrasse du vignoble Hernder et tout était parfait. Il font également de délicieux cannoli, de la gelato et du café. Une mention spéciale pour la propriétaire qui était très gentille. Merci encore

A quiet little cafe thats definitely worth the stop. The Antipasti for two was amazing, full of fresh meats and cheeses! And the Espresso flight was awesome, so tasty! The cannoli is also a must have! If your in the area and looking for a taste of Italy than go no further!

Trxie

Everything is so fresh and so delicious. The gelato takes me back to my trip to Italy. Looking forward to trying some savory dishes next.

Haley Nemcko

Been wanting to come here for ages and finally made it happen! Soooo glad I did! All the cannoli treats looked amazing and I couldnt decide what I wanted. The lovely ladies working mentioned they had an extra sampler box available which was perfect! These ladies were so kinda and friendly, the visit definitely made my day! I brought the goodies to a friends house and everyone loved them so much, everything was delicious! My fav was the cannoli tarts! Can't wait to come back to try the coffee, gelato and sandwiches!

Daryl Pemberton

Really good coffees and food

Randy Walker (Reef)

I found this wonderful place on Google maps. I'm so glad I did. I bought a dozen canollis and 2 mini canolli pies. Oh my, these are some of the finest dessert treats I've ever tasted! My wife and kids approve! I will be a repeat customer.

Leo Giovenazzo

Been here a few times now. Had a sandwich, Pizza and of course the Cannoli Pie. Tomorrow is a 90th Bday party for my father so I picked up a Gelato Cake. Looks amazing. Carrie and her staff out did themselves with this cake. Also got the Pie. Showed pictures to my family before tommorow, now I am concerned I won't have enough.

Bryan Caldwell

Excellent steak sandwich

Denise Cairns

The canolis are amazing!!!!!

Lainy Smith

I popped in to grab a treat and was greeted by the loveliest staff. The food looked amazing and tasted even better. I've been back several times since. Highly recommend the cannolis, gelato and brownies!

Matthew Bodis

This place is a real gem of the city, you need to visit! Coffee is out of this world and so are the owners

Daniel Lepinoy

Fantastic food and amazing service

Mohammad Islam

Awesome cafe...

Joe

Very happy with the cannoli's, excellent place and would highly recommend. I've been looking for a good cannoli in the city, but this is the first I've found. It's like a real sicillian cannoli that you'd get in Italy.

tom kiroplis

Fantastic Steak Sandwiches!

Lynn Morrison

Staff not wearing masks, including the owner. No one being screened at the door.

Jackson Loncar

Delicious ice cream. Good coffee. Nice staff. Not much to say as it's a smaller restaurant with a decently small menu. But it was a nice place to stop for drinks and gelato.

Lynn Mckenzie

My new favorite place! A nice glass of wine and charcuterie board on the patio is a must! Service is outstanding. Highly recommend a visit to this new gem. You will be treated like family as soon as you walk in the door!

Matt Sherriff

Amazing Veal sandwich ???? yummy

Jamie Montague

Great food, especially the steak sandwiches. Great place

Melody Culp

Amazing Cannoli ! The assorted pack was a hit at the BBQ I brought them to

조지원

I didn't get a good grade. The staff is kind. But we can use only cash. And Steak sandwiches are only available on weekends.

Jennifer B

We live around the corner and just discovered this gem. The food is delicious and the treats are dangerous. We brought a cannoli kit camping and everything stayed fresh and was fantastic. There was the perfect amount of filling to pipe and chocolate chips to garnish! We also brought some brownies which were also delicious. And, we are picking up a variety box for our neighbour today as a thank you - we just keep going back! Like I said, it’s a neighbourhood gem.

Andrew Ruminski

Absolutely classic service and pleasant atmosphere. Very well made drinks.

vittorio porco

I enjoy the new look, and management are great bunch of people and make the atmosphere friendly. The espresso is good and the specialty coffees are even better. The new food menu is fantastic, but hats off to the new ice cream and pastries table both will satisfy your sweet tooth. Thanks, good luck, keep it up.

Claudia Matos

The best canollis and gelato in my neighborhood ????????

Cheryl Pahowski

This was our first visit wonderful atmosphere and service, lunch was delicious, ordered takeout for dinner. The fellow patrons were very entertaining we had a great time and will definitely be back to try something else. Thank you Carrie Ann See you soon, Carrie Ann, Cheryl and Tom

David Bergeron

Steak sandwich was great. Coffee was fantastic. Definetly going back this week

Steve Fulton

I always make sure to stop here for an espresso while in St. Catharines. The cannolli are also worth the stop

Kim Filion

Great place! Love their cannolis!

Kala Munsie

Amazing gelato

Cristian Preda

Quiet cafe with a nice patio... excellent coffee (and alcohol you can spike it with) and fantastic pastry (delicious cannoli). Had a blast chilling and enjoying the experience. Very friendly staff as well.

Kendall Hurley

Contacted them for hours and menu. Today is Saturday and they close at 8pm on Saturday. Made a point of going, to try them for a light supper, as they were newly renovated (and opened, maybe?)...They stop serving Paninis at 4pm (surprise) and the pastries were spartan, at best. They kept saying, "we have Gelato." as if that would suffice as our light supper. Also, nothing to tell you on their site or by email, but they take only cash (not debit). All in all, a flop.

Jackie D

OMG I think I died and went to heaven. Chicken parm panini the best sandwich I have had in forever, chicken was so tender and the sauce was amazing. Followed up by canolli cupcake that was to die for. And bonus the owner is so nice and down to earth.

Sandra Gabriele

Amazing and outgoing staff, so clean and the best Cannoli's in town!

Rohin Kurian

Chicken Parm Panini was delightful! Topped it off with a fresh cappacino! Will be back to try out desserts next time!

Andrea Palmer

Love the Saturday steak sandwiches! Great food! Great service! Very welcoming and friendly! Will definitely be going back soon! 10 out of 10
