a lot of small things came together not so well to kind of leave our group frustrated- we were repeatedly given a heads up that an enormous group of 70 was slated to sit an hour after us. Most of us have been in food service and all too well know the storm that was coming, so we wanted to make it as smooth as we could for the staff. The several times this was reiterated we obliged and saw no issue being a little swift; what complicated this was the quality of the food was absolutely not a representation of the reviews given previously. Instead of the beautiful round stone fired pizzas we saw around us, our group was given lunch lady style oblong pizza that was also completely room temperature. When it was communicated the pizza had obviously sat for quite some time, the only offer was to reheat it. The pasta dishes were absent any real flavor, leaving us to dump Parmesan and lemon on them to revive them. The advertised sauce meant to accompany the chicken Romano of white wine, butter, and lemon was absent and in its stead a salty brown oil with no flavor or mention of the white wine or lemon. The garnish of zucchini was actually good, a bright spot in all of it albeit a very minor player given the scarcity. It was my wife’s birthday celebration, and not wanting to put dark marks on her day we basically kept going. Then, while she was opening gifts- literally arm in a bag and thanking her grandparents- the cake is presented candles lit and shoved in front of her. I get this was likely an effort to be helpful; by itself would have been understandable. Had they bothered to look up and recognize the terrible timing rather than proceed with pushing us along they may have noticed a good number of our party missing from the table and now missing the awkward happy birthday. Add it in with all around being rushed along at each stage I can’t help but feel like the objective was to push us out to accommodate the clearly oversized and daunting party of 70 in the actual banquet/party rooms. So oversized it apparently was necessary for a party of 14 to be seated three feet from the mens restroom and clearly in the way of kitchen staff moving full sheet pans of product from one area to another over the heads of guests due to restricted access and us being so close to active entryways. Everyone has bad days. This seems to have been a bad day for quite a few kitchen and wait staff that came together in perfectly coordinated fashion. A perfectly coordinated fashion that was endured so as to not make a scene during someone else’s celebration that had no place costing $150 for two adults and two young toddlers. Everyone has bad days. Unfortunately this bad day cost our group several hundred dollars and a wasted opportunity that would have been better spent at the places we’ve come to trust rather than branch out and explore like we did here. I’d rather have been told our group couldn’t be accommodated than waste an evening watching my crestfallen family convince themselves time and again that ‘this is fine’.

Hadn’t been here in like 5 years - came today for a friend’s bridal shower. Beautiful venue for private parties ! Staff were great and the food was delicious!!

I was introduced to Cafe Notte by a friend a few weeks ago, and I'm thrilled that I was. The ambiance is reminiscent of a charming little dark bar with a captivating mafia vibe. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is awesome, and the fact that it's family-owned adds a special touch. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend stopping by for dinner and indulging in a few cocktails or planning a romantic date night. It's a solid 10/10 for me.

Lovely and intimate atmosphere! Ceiling has a captivating "starry" effect. Great staff and delicious food! Absolutely loved the Calamari, Duck Wings & Branzino 🤤 A bit of a dead zone unless maybe if you try using their guest wifi, and there are the occasional flies, but besides that still highly recommended 👌

We had passed Cafe Notte many times, and were anxious to finally dine there. We were seated in due time, and the server brought us water. That was it! She never returned to our table after we ordered our drinks. Another group of 5 came in after us and their server immediately took their orders. After waiting almost 20 minutes, we left. The Hostess asked us if we enjoyed our meals. We told her what had happened and she was very apologetic. I should add that the place was not busy at all. Only two other tables were being used. I wasn't overly impressed with the decor, but the treatment we were given only made us decide to never, ever go here again.

I went to Cafe Notte to celebrate a friend's birthday during Restaurant Week. We hadn't heard of it before, but the menu looked delicious. We were completely happy with all of the food, but especially the crab cakes, salmon, risotto, broccolini, and short ribs. The service was phenomenal! We'll definitely come back to enjoy this special restaurant.

Really neat and cozy vibe. The server was super sweet, fast, and attentive. The chicken parm was delicious. Not too thrilled about paying $8.00 for a side Caesar salad (consisting of only lettuce, cheese, dressing, and croutons). Otherwise, this place is awesome. We'll be back.

It's a nice restaurant and our experience was generally good. The reason I'm not able to give them 5 stars is because the prices were higher than I would expect for the experience. Some of the food was great! Some of it was quite mediocre. The pizza was way below par and the ravioli was "meh", at best. That said, other's in my group said their meals were great! The salmon looked very good (but I unfortunately had the ravioli). The server was nice but was a bit slow to respond to our needs. The atmosphere was elegant, but they sat us at a table near a bar area that wasn't being used and the lights were off, making it feel a bit dank. Overall, it was an experience that would have been more on par at half the price.

Delicious meal. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

I was recently here for a private event and it was a great experience. The food was hot and delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were my favorite. The owner and his whole staff are super friendly and make you feel like you’re at home. They’ll sit and chat with you like they’ve known you your whole life. I highly recommend this place and plan on going back.

Went here for my sons birthday. Food was good. Service was good . Just three people and brought my own cake for my son. Was charged a service fee to serve my own birthday cake. I would understand this if I had a large group but was only me my husband and son.

We sat on the lovely outside patio and had a delicious meal with great service!

Delicious food, reasonably priced, great service, nice ambiance. I drive by this place pretty regularly and my wife and I discussed trying it sometime and finally did. Now I plan on stopping in more often in the future.

Was here for a private gathering and do not recommend this spot at all. Cold food, poor service at a high price. For boasting on the website their ability to handle large groups, they were not prepared at all for our group of 80 people. The luncheon was booked for 100 people, but apparently, not enough food or coffee was prepared and the event hostess was told they would " make it work". This should not have been the case. You will do better to rent the local fire hall and cater in food from one of the other, more reliable establishments in the area.

The food is always great here. My personal favorite is the bolognese. My husband loves the pork chop. We've taken a number of people here and they've all been very happy with their food. All this still holds true!

We had a family reunion/memorial at this lovely spot. Everything was fantastic (and reasonably priced) including apps, dinner, salad, desert, service and drinks. Debbie, the owner, was gracious, clear and helpful during the planning and execution of this dinner for two dozen. She even called us from her vacation to answer questions. We had salmon, beef tips, stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, meatballs, shrimp cocktail and more. It was a delicious feast. The bartender went the extra mile making rounds to every table and every guest to make sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed. The facility was spotless. Thanks for a great event, Cafe Notte!

Excellent bartender and the food is always great. Had the Berkshire Chop and took home the beef ribs over peppadalle.. Cocktails were fire too, loved the espresso martini@

We just went to Cafe Notte during Pittsburgh restaurant week, the food was delicious! Particularly the chicken with rosemary cream sauce - it was spectacular. It provided a nice balanced flavor with the rosemary and the chicken was cooked perfectly moist. House wine was good. Dessert - tiramisu & berry cake - tasted so fresh. What a gem!

Driven by this place for years and always wanted to try it. I regret not going sooner. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and most importantly…the food was phenomenal.

Things I love about Cafe Notte - good food, good service, Buckie the Thursday night singer, patio seating, dog friendly on the patio. Overall good vibes. Things I don’t like about Cafe Notte - I got nothing. Love it all.

Five stars. Our waitress was rushing around, but we didn't get bread for a while and she missed a few things. Regardless, it doesn't really detract from how awesome of an Italian restaurant this is. I came into this wanting to find problems with the food. American Italian restaurants tend to be greasy and full of cheese. This wasn't. Every appetizer, entree, and dessert we ordered was loaded with flavor. Everything felt light. We ordered two dessert dishes and both were terrific. My only complaint with any of the food would be the tiramisu. It needs maybe 1/3 the amount of chocolate syrup it had on it. The lemon mascarpone was one of the best desserts I've ever had. The owner came by and made sure we enjoyed everything and checked on every table before lounging at the bar. He seemed like a super approachable and nice guy. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try

I went here for a family reunion. It's a very old building with a lot of character. We had a great time here even though the food was really not that good. The beef was full of fat. The chicken was dry. The potatoes were awful. They were very short staffed but the staff that was there worked very hard. Not my favorite place.

All I'll say about this place is that my wife and I have been there exactly once during our nearly 13 years of our marriage and 15 year relationship. When the BEST THING you find on their menu is a conch salad for $25 (mind you this was back in 2010, I think?) GO ELSEWHERE!

Great little spot! We went here with a large party, and loved almost all the food and the atmosphere. The food particularly was thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. They make all their pasta and bread from scratch! The only downsides were: slower service than I'm accustomed to, and a louder space. Perhaps these were because it was a large party, or because it was busy. We also had one entree that we didn't like, enough that we didn't eat it, though everything else was delicious. Would recommend, would go back! (Perhaps on a slower night I'd give it a five star.)

Amazing dinner!! Great food and atmosphere for a night out. Bread pudding was amazing!!

We had a family Christmas dinner here. It was about 15 people including 5 small children. The experience was wonderful. Food was great, they very quickly got the food out for the children. Adult food came out much later, but that was our choice. Since the children were done, they started to get wild. The staff here brought out coloring books and crayons. This was a huge help. At the end of the night, they made themselves available to take family photos. Each year, we swap who picks where we eat and this was our first time going to Cafe Notte and everyone loved it.
