The pizza was fantastic, fresh brick-oven pizza. The service was terrific and the atmosphere was family friendly and relaxed. Will definitely visit again.

Not only does JV have great food, drinks and service, But their proactive actions on social issues and latest pandemic make them a gem of El Paso!

Cafe Italia is a small cozy pizzeria on the west side of El Paso. Stopped in just my daughter and I for a quick bite while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby. Their menu is very small, literally one page. They offer authentic Italian style tomato pie one size only for 15-17 dollars, calzones, antipasto, salads and some plain pasta dishes. The gentleman running the tiny scratch kitchen looked to be of Italian descent and the waitresses are locals. We where greeted immediately and then virtually zero customer service the rest of our meal. The pie was ridiculously greasy. They do not serve alcohol but you can bring your own wine etc at a 6 dollar cost per bottle. They offer outside seating as well but there is no cover and it is to hot for that here in the summer. There is over 200 restaurants on Mesa street so with all that completion they need to step up their game. Bottom line... go somewhere else!

Food is really over priced, especially on the weekend. Their online menu states with a pizza you'll get a side soup or salad but a restaurant employee informed me that it is only available on the weekdays. Additionally, no complimentary bread was offered. At least the pizza was high quality and had enough cheese. If I could, I would rate it 3.5 stars

Spaghetti was really good. They oven brick cook their pizza and bread and it's yummy! I really liked the bread loaf with the garlic butter. The atmosphere is nice and you can bring your own wine but be ready to pay a small fee for doing so. The menu is very minimal at the moment, not sure if it's a covid thing but that didn't affect my rating. The service was ok, our server seemed really distracted and aloof.

Café Italia is our family’s destination for celebrations. Staff is always so welcoming and kind. Tonight was no exception. Thank you for making my mother’s birthday celebration so special.

Wonderful food and terrific service. Lives up to its "bohemian" reputation with funky interior, original art and lots of laptops in use by regulars. Lattes were perfect. Avocado toast w eggs was the best I've ever had. Perfectly flavored with a side salad sporting light turmeric dressing, walnuts and strawberry slices. Hubby got eggs, bacon and toast and it came with this amazing thick sliced bread that was yummy all by itself. Eggs perfectly cooked for both of us. Bacon was melt in your mouth amazing

I brought my family of 5 to try this place for my mom's birthday (we didn't make that apparent to staff). The gals working there were good looking and were friendly but we had to grab our own seating for the table we picked since it didn't have enough chairs since some were missing. My cappuccino didn't have foam added to the top of it, even though the menu stated it would, and tasted like half milk, half coffee. The mocha my partner got tasted like a hot chocolate instead of a coffee drink. My brother got the cafe bon-bon and said it was overly bitter. Odd that a cafe wouldn't know how to make good coffee. My bread with avocado, hummus, cucumber, & tomato was absolutely delicious but the 'salad' that accompanied it did not compliment it and wasn't too my liking. The dressing is some kind of sweet mango sauce. The oatmeal my partner got had no flavor to it and it was made with water instead of with milk how the menu stated and was watery. Their meat dishes like the breakfast burger, bratwurst, and pancakes with egg & bacon are great but their coffee and vegetarian options seem to need some improving.

Food was cold and service too slow

This was a nice find. Went with my parents and we all enjoyed it!

Everything is delicious but the all meat pizza is the best!

Food so good that my friend and I forgot to speak to each other

Wonderful environment. On date night we ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with an all meat pizza. It’s was so delicious. Perfect portions. We shared the pasta and pizza so it was a good portion. I highly recommend them. We are inside, next time we will be trying the patio;)

First time. The pepperoni pizza was great. And, where else can you go and get a large plate of fresh roasted veggies...so good! And, the chocolate pastry dessert was delicious and sized to share. We loved this restaurant!

So good! Bring your own liquor. They don't charge to open. Food is Amazing and the servers are all so nice. Best staff and food I've had in a long time. Salad big enough to share, pizza has the perfect amount of crisp yet still soft and tasty.

It's a café type of Italian restaurant, simple menu and simple taste, somehow it makes you feel like home. Especially like the lighting decorations of their patio, will look forward to dining there during summer time.

I went on a date with a beautiful woman here last Thursday. I loved it. The caprese salad was the best part of the meal. The tomatoes are grown by the owner. They also make their fresh mozzarella. I considered wearing a tracksuit to feel Italian, but I didn’t think it would be par the course. Yummy.

Super hip place. Love their food and service. I recommend the 420 fries, any brunch item, their coffee is sooo good and they do nice coffee art. Excellent customer service, happy gals!

Hipster cafe with alternative decor and modern art. Attracts a creative crowd, but for the most part they do things right. Coffee is my biggest complaint, but not a deal breaker. The breakfast menu and lunch menu are great, however. Spicy salsa and a great beer and wine selection. Gypsy is how I would describe this place in a single word. Grungy feel, but the staff has great personalities and are very sweet.

Great breakfast grub and coffee!

Great service, great food, great atmosphere and I'm 12!

This coffee shop has a fun vibe. It's cluttered in an interesting way that keeps your eyes busy. I probably would not come here to study, but it would be a nice place to sit back and have some coffee or food with friends. The cortado was very frothy, and the coffee itself was nothing special, but it wasn't bad either. It was very neutral and balanced. If I was going for a coffee, this is the standard taste I'd expect. The staff was very friendly and talkative, and there were a lot of good food options in addition to drinks.

Anthony is awesome. Great service!

Love this place. Ive had their breakfast a few times and it's different but everything ive tried is great. Life tge iced chai and i loved their burger aand fries too. Tge avocado toast was great. Tge omelette with the house potatoes is very good, especially with the chorizo and ham. The breakfast sandwich with the fried egg was a dream and of course the 420 fries were delicious. I do wish they had better parking, but that is a central el paso issue, not really the restaurant's. Love the red salsa too. Order that with everything!

Really good vegan food, service is friendly and welcoming

420 fries and veggie sandwich was delicious, would definitely recommend. Service was good ?

Yall menu sux, it get worse every time I go.. need new management

I am so in love with this place!!!! The service is great! The food and coffee are incredibly good!

I remember this place when it was just opening, over 6 years ago. From the beginning it was totally my cup of tea. I knew I found my favorite hiding spot! They support local art, play awesome music and set a great vibe. Their food and drinks are delicious too. The menu is very diverse. They have meat and veggie options! They offer everything from burgers, to yellow curry with rice to bratwursts. They have an awesome beer selection too and offer fresh baked pastries. Please try this place out! I will always be a fan. Oh and you have to try their signature 4/20 fries!

Best ambiance in central! Love it

Adorable place. I had the picadillo plate and it was really good and spicy. The art on the wall was impressive and I bought 2 pieces. Lots of coffee options. Had a smart crowd

Best coffee shop in town! Staff is beyond amazing!

¡I love this place!

Hours state they are open till midnight daily. Showed up and they had about 6 people inside yet claimed to be closed.

Great food, and amazing customer services.

Beers ok foods ok but the service sucks here

Good food and good beers...thanks

Delicious!! The Chai Tea with Oat Milk touched my soul. Great staff also!

It was awesome! First time here with a friend! Great service, venue, atmosphere and of course food. Great place to hang out and chat. Thank you! I definitely recommend it. 👍

Service was fast, friendly staff, and great choices for a cafe

They were out of a bunch of items on the menu, took forever to get our meals out and the server had an attitude. Not a good experience.

Different. . good food.

found this place by chance and i am forever grateful. my latte was handcrafted by god. the food? SLAPS.

Amazing food, coffee, and beer! I love this place

Solid coffee, friendly staff.

Like home.

A quiet place to study and relax during the day, as well as a few beers in the evening. Low key hangout and a real gem in central El Paso.

$5 delicious burgers on Mondays!...Cruising on bike on a Saturday, stopped 2 get ☕. Not 2 busy, asked for french press?. All coffee choices served in ceramic cups?,hot food served all day.Breakfast items until noon.

Amazing place

My favorite place to stop between Phoenix and El Paso.

Had a really good burger. Servers were great.

Great place with amazing atmosphere. If you love coffee, the "Cafe de Olla" is a must do in this place. Their Cappuccino is so-so. The service could be a lot better, other than that, its a good place for a caffe, or to grab a burger, and meat with friends.

Highly recommend going here!

First time customer 12/11/19 nd Great staff and shrimp Cocktail was riquisimo :) definitely coming Back , keep up the friendly service ! ❤️

I love it ; great customer service

Liz is a great bartender very attentive and makes you feel positive. Will definitely return thanks liz

420 fries!!

Cozy spot for romantic dining inside or outside with vegan options and a view of the sunset from the patio

Great Breakfast place.

Mellow place with a good selection of beers

Nice place to enjoy beer, wine, steak, and pasta along with oven brick bread.

Fantastic Lunch. I had spaghetti and meatballs with the house salad. The house salad was fresh with slices of apples (or pears) and roasted walnuts with a yummy dressing (a honey mustard vinaigrette). The meatballs were homemade and the sauce was nice and thick with a sprinkling of cheese on top. It really hit the spot!

This is a very cozy but busy and jam packed place. However, the food is absolutely delicious, especially their brick oven baked artisan pizza.

Bring your beverage of choice to pair with Cafe Italias excellent menu. You can't beat the homemade mozzarella cheese or anything else that comes out of the kitchen. Expect a wait but we'll worth it. Service is top notch.

Genuine Italian Food! The bread loaf was very good and the vinagarette dressing with the salad was to die for. Booming with genuine and authentic Italian flavors. Servers were spectacular as was the chef.

We were visiting El Paso, and found this delicious little restaurant. The food is phenomenal ! I was sold on the homemade mozzarella, which is so fresh and delicious! We had a pizza and chicken Alfredo, and both were so good! We are taking food home for dinner! I highly recommend trying this restaurant !

Amazing fresh mozzarella in the caprese with the freshest tomatoes and basil I've had in a while. I do not say this lightly: truly inspired bread and dough. I love eating bread of all kinds and rarely enjoy the crust of most pizzas but this was just delightful. Do yourself a favor and come here to taste true Neopolitan pizza. We come as often as we can and am never disappointed. A true staple in the greater El Paso area.

italian food and the scene at this place is super good. It has a great interior.

Do not let this gem pass you by!! Inlove this place. Tge inside was nice and cozy with aout eating area as well. They have BYOB at this location, but the drinks her are cold and inviting. The salad was perfect for a hot day, and the pizza was awesome piled with pepperoni. The staff was very nice and their recommendations were on point!!

Cimmaron park location menu very limited and overpriced. $15 for a plain pizza the size somwhere between a small and medium most places. Sauce on linguini and shrimp nothing but tomato sauce they added a little garlic to

We went to the new Cafe Italia at Cimarron Market. We ordered 3 pizzas, 3 meals and one caprese salad. No complaints on the food at all! Decent service. There were 8 of us. Myself and my husband and our 6 kids. I would give the restaurant 5 stars, but I can't. I understand when restaurants add gratuity for large parties. I mean we're a large family, but to add gratuity for parties of 5 or more... seems a bit desperate. They don't disclose it verbally. You're lucky if you get to that part on the menu where it states it. I mentioned service was decent. Nothing amazing, but maybe because they assume they're getting a tip already, so why try? I'll go back, but unfortunately not with more than 4 people. We like the BYOB idea and as mentioned, food was great.

Ordered spaghetti with meatballs and sausage, $19.00 plus tip $3.00 for a total of $22.00. The spaghetti was not cooked enough the sausage was cold the only good thing was the bread. now for $22.00 at least get it right.

Great hole in the wall place! The caprese salad is excellent as well as the bread and butter they give you. I got the half order of shrimp Alfredo linguine and loved it! We also got the gracies pizza which was delicious. Great place!!

Never disappointed*_*your always treated like family*_*an the food is Awesome*_*true homemade Italiano food!? Just like Nana's cooking! ?"AMEN"?

I would like to make a report because you and your workers didn't wear mask and even gloves in this time of the covid-19. There a new texas law signed by the Governor of Texas that is obligatory to wear mask and gloves if you wants to open your business and another things your pizza for the first time was not good, mozzarella was not fresh and dough pizza was like a gum. Please fix this mess for you8and for your business. The best pizza in town, I like the appetizers and pizzas. I reccomend it to European, if you like to have a Italian pizza, go to cafe Italia.

Cafe Italia provides some of the best Italian food I've ever had. Clearly fresh ingredients, excellent service, and you can byob!

Fantastic!

Soo good, sometimes there is a wait but it's worth it.

Lovely place, awesome food and friendly service!

Real Italian pizza. Best in El Paso!

Delicious pizza every single time. Their roasted veggies are incredible and we always order a side of alfredo with their bread. Service is fast and friendly, we love it!

Best Pizza in El Paso, TX

Good pizza

Really really good food. Space was a little tight but the conversation of the table next to us was interesting! Love the byow feature

unforgettable

I lived in Rome Italy for 3 years, and one year in Comiso Sicily. This is the closest that I have found to real authentic Italian pizza. The owner really got it right. I love this place. We will make it our only pizza place to go to when in El Paso Texas. Simply the best brick oven pizza in America!

Fresh mozzarella Margherita pizza is out of this world

It was very tasty, the sauce was homemade, but the bread was very thin, I would return.

1st time here. Service was prompt & the food was good.

Delicious mozerella and bread and the best pizza

outstanding pizza & great service. a real hidden gem!

Good thin crust pizza!

Good pizza

Great service! Pizza was amazing! Complements to the people who make the pizza!

Good food. Slow service

Everything is delicious here.

I was disappointed in this location since they don’t have steak like the one on the east side does. My friend wanted a side of veggies for her baby to eat and they would not sell her a side. She was going to have to pay full price of eight dollars for the veggies.

The pizza was great!!!

Good food!

Love going with friends or boyfriend. Bring your own beer/wine with a $6 uncorking fee & the pasta is incredible

Super nice, low key restaurant with a pretty patio looking out on the arroyo, good prices, good thin crust pizza and nice service and BYOB. Will be coming back.

By far the best place for fresh Italian style pizza. Nice cozy environment and warm wait staff.

Cozy place, great customer service, tasty food. Just don't forget to take your winne 🤭

The Bottariga pasta was EXCELLENT! Will definitely go back for that. We ordered the Seafood Lemon Zest Squid ink - it was good but the pasta wasn't a linguini... Nice, cozy place. Good wine!

Best Italian food in town. Service was quick and food was delicious. You can and should bring your wine botttle but do know they charge extra :)

Absolutely best Italian in town. Wood roasted vegetables are a great appetizer. The pizza margarita was spectacular. Fresh mozzarella, sauce was perfect.

We order from this location often. We eat late because we get out of work late. The staff is always friendly and always take late pick up orders. They also make THE BEST pizza in town. I have never had a bad pie here. 100% recommend from the taste to their great customer service they’re a fantastic local small business.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. The mozzarella is delicious with the caprese salad. I did miss the drizzle of balsamic vinegar I've had at other Italian restaurants. The mushroom and cheese pizza is very rich. I definitely would order with basil and/or tomatoes added to break it up. Crust and bread was delicious though. Kids lived the spaghetti with meat sauce. Overall great experience and will definitely return if in the area.

Such a wonderful little find! We are in town for the weekend and tried this place and everything was spectacular! Service was great, and all the servers made sure you were taken care of! This is such a dying mentality and it truly makes for such a better experience! The only semi negative thing I have to say is they don't have a kids menu, so that was a little disappointing but we made it work.

First time here, wonderful family atmosphere. The Caprese Salad is absolutely astounding! Large round sliced Mozzarella with equally large and succulently fresh and chilled tomatoes. Adorned with basil and drizzled with balsamic glaze, golden olive oil, and topped with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  It is the perfect summer meal that you will definitely enjoy!!

This place is a gem! The food was delicious, and THEY MAKE THEIR OWN MOZZARELLA!! 🤤 To start, we had the Caprese salad and the Pane Rustico, which was like a charcuterie board. The mozzarella was on point, and the tomatoes they used were so flavorful and juicy. Also, the homemade bread that came with the board was fantastic. It was dense but airy with a great flavor that complemented anything you put on it. Truly magical. For the main course, we ordered Andy's pizza and the chicken Alfredo. The crust on the pizza was Neapolitan style but substantial. The sauce in it was somehow buttery or velvety while still being so flavorful. As for the chicken Alfredo, it was bomb: super creamy, tender chicken, and freshly made. I cannot recommend this place enough. Can't wait to go back.

The food is always good and the atmosphere is always nice. Bring some wine and they'll open it for you and put it on ice if you'd like. Also the veggie pasta is WAY underrated. We get it every time we are there now!

Family and I have come to eat here on several occasions. Food is great. Pizza is really good. They have wood fire pizza which is bomb. Prices are a bit steep, but food and service is good. The other thing to keep in mind is that parties of 5 or more a gratuity charge will be applied automatically. We were hit with it without knowing or told until the bill came. I would continue to come to eat here just be warned of the gratuity and prices.

Easily the best pizza that I’ve found in El Paso to date. Salad and pasta were also fantastic, and the service was warm and friendly as well. No kids menu, but our little guy loves pizza and was happy grabbing a couple slices from our pies. They do have high chairs for the little ones.

Delicious Italian food. First time here but I liked it so much. The restaurant is right at a valley on Mesa St. So, it is great to come here right before the sunset and enjoy your food on the porch. Also, BYOB. $10 for a bottle of wining opening service charge.

Beautiful cozy place, perfect for a date night for sure or a good relaxing time with friends. The menu is not so variable but they have good dishes. The pastas are always good and I’ve been serve fairly quick. Also, the sitting outside is very nice and outstanding from the usual. I like to go here to disconnect and unwind! Cool thing, is BYOB.

Tiny place, but pretty obviously a locals place, and the atmosphere was really comfortable. Ordered a pizza, and it came out super fast, and was absolutely delicious. The crust in particular was fantastic. Can't wait to go back and spend a little more time enjoying it! I noticed people were bringing their own wine in, and I will definitely do that next time we go!

Delicious food, I'll be honest I was a little bit worried that they would try to kick us out super quick based on some reviews, but that was not the case. We celebrated my wife's birthday. If you want great service and attention PACO is your guy. Thanks for a great event Paco.
