"We had a large group and Cafe Italia was very accommodating. Service was quite good for a large party. If you're a fan of Italian food it's ok. Several in our group had the special ravioli that night and said it was good, as did the person next to me who had a seafood pasta dish. My calzone was more bread than anything else and the salads were nothing really special. Overall it was a pleasant meal and we went there because they could accommodate our large group."
