    This place is fantastic. Forget the Secret Garden, forget the local bars downtown. We visited over 5 other bars, and none of them came close to this. The craft cocktails, amazing service, skilled bartenders, and friendly owner more than justified the reasonably priced cocktails we enjoyed here. Ask Daniel for a cider, and it won't disappoint! I will 100% come back here anytime I am downtown.

    Pretty tasty coffee. Super strong, but not bitter. I had an expresso with lots of whipped cream....so tasty. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area and there's a parking space. Negatives... parking and not many tables & not a cozy spot to hang out.

    Caffé Di Firenze is lovely coffee shop located in a historic building near Market Square Park and the Theater district downtown. We ordered a mocha and a latte, both were made to perfection. We also had a sweet cream filled pastry- divine! Caffé Di Firenze uses Italian beans and has a stunningly beautiful espresso machine- this thing is a work of art! The space is stylish and roomy, perfect spot for studying or relaxing. The owner was so friendly and we really enjoyed our chat with him. He also serves paninis starting at lunchtime, and will soon have a breakfast panini on the menu. He also said WiFi will be set up the following day. He mentioned that he’d like to start serving wine, as well! Would love to see some outdoor seating to enjoy in the Spring and Summer. Five stars for lovely atmosphere, extraordinary service, and delicious coffee!

    Love the coffee here! It always tastes really well brewed and the pastries are just as amazing. You have to try the raspberry and Nutella pastry! We also got some food here and it was also delicious. Check them out during your lunch break or for an afternoon coffee break.

    Bar manager Matt made these beauties for us. Very friendly, upscale bar with plenty to offer. Will be returning soon. Definitely a place to "trust your bartender" location. They treat you right here! Thank you Italian Job!

    Go try the The Lucky Italian! They have some of the best coffee we have tasted. They use an authentic Italian espresso machine and Eddie was amazing! Super knowledgeable on how to make a killer coffee and mixed drink! When we are back in the area, we will be back to visit! The food is also really good!

    Such a cute place with beautiful art. Great espresso. Tasty chai latte (a bit too sweet for my taste but if that's what you like). Wonderful baristas - had a great chat. Also a cocktail bar so if you are not sure if you are feeling coffee or a cocktail this is the place to be!

    I’ve been here a couple of times and had a great experience every single time. The service is fantastic and so are the drinks. Perfect for a morning or after work drinks. Absolute favorite place to get a flat white. Ask for Matt, overall great bartender. He makes delicious mocktails. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    Great coffee! If you live in Houston they will do Custom roasts and you can pick them up. Great vibe, very chill.

  • 5/5 The Alaskan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely awesome place. Best coffee I've personally ever had and the food is superb. I feel like Italian cuisine is one of the few cuisines underrepresented in the Houston area and this place does a good job of providing an Italian food option at a medium price point. Also they have the best espresso martini ever, hands down. The employees are all really cool and outgoing and have their own personalities that bring a different experience every time. The owner David is a really nice and humble guy who is a great example of a local entrepreneur serving the community in an authentic way. Check this place out.

    I went here on a trip because the rating was so high. I went in and wasn’t greeted ( No big deal just odd). Once he was done talking to friends that were there he asked what I wanted. Got the coffee and thought it would be great since clearly environment and service weren’t the reason for the high stars. It was basically sugar water.

    Swung into the Italian Job last night for a quick drink. Our bartender, Matt, was very hospitable & knowledgeable. I chose a drink called the "The Stallone" which was super fresh. Would definitely pop in again!

  • 5/5 Alejandra T. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee and the pastries are both amazing and the staff is amazing. They also have cocktails which look good. Matt made us feel so welcome, he really gives the place a personal touch that is hard to find in most places nowadays. The atmosphere is relaxed, everybody looks to be enjoying themselves. 100% recommend coming here.

    Very refreshing twist on coffee. Got the white chocolate with coconut milk and the after taste along with the initial sip was amazing! Staff was very helpful. Eddie and Erick were beyond amazing and helpful with helping us get a coffee to our standards. They’re personalities along with skills are very admirable.
