This was our second visit here within a few weeks as we absolutely love the food and service. They even went above and beyond and made me something that wasn’t on the menu. (FYI the mushroom risotto is amazing). This has become our favourite place. Absolute must

I hadn't been here for 5 years, it popped up on my Facebook memories, we went in for a snack, ended up having a 3 course meal, lovely owner, the chef popped out for a chat, it was early on a Saturday evening as we wanted to get back for the rugby, wish I'd stayed for another glass of the great house red and more of the cheesecake. Could not fault this great little place.

Found this charming place and decided to pop in for lunch. The food was incredible. Great value for money as well. They had an offer for 2 for £12 for small pasta dishes (much bigger than expected having seen the price of the offer!) which were so delicious we stopped off again for dinner. Pizza was incredible and we made the most of their happy hour offer and had a couple of cocktails each as well! Service was incredible, very friendly and chatty. Definitely will visit again, next time I'm in the area.

Found by accident. Good eclectic menu. Cooked fresh and very flavoursome. Staff lovely. Both times the food was slower in arriving than in other places but that's the cost of freshly prepared food, and we'll worth the

Stumbled across this cosy Italian gem when we were visiting friends in Melton. It was a lovely setting and atmosphere to relax in and we started off with olives and bread, which was yummy. The pizzas looked and smelt amazing so we ordered the white pizza, it was super tasty and the dough had a lovely texture. We will definitely be visiting this proper Italian cafe as much as we can! Thanks to the staff who were super attentive and welcoming :)

This little family-run Italian restaurant/cafe has been my regular go-to for coffee or lunch whenever I'm in Melton because of the friendly and cheerful welcome one always receives and its authentic food and atmosphere. In the last few weeks, the younger generation of the family has taken over and are injecting some fresh energy and ideas, while taking care not to change the fundamental nature/appeal of the place. The newly-refreshed brunch menu, which my husband and I had yesterday, offers lots of interesting options. I chose the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on brioche, which was really delicious, and my husband had the full vegetarian breakfast which looked great. We sat on one of the tables outside and enjoyed watching the world pass by. The restaurant's location down a pretty cobbled side street just off the Market Square means that it could easily be missed by visitors to the town, which would be a great pity.
Melton Mowbray Center itself and yet, a secluded charming alley. "Caffe Italia" - because that's what we're talking about, a family, friendly atmosphere. Charming and always smiling service and,...professional. To the point. I am not an expert or reviewer of any cuisine. Here, in "Caffe Italia", it surprises me every time with an incredible fantasy of flavors. Each dish that was served to me is a set of carefully selected sounds. A meal in this place is a symphony for the soul and palate.To sum up, if this place is True Italian Cuisine, then I love the Italians and the Cuisine they created. I would highly recommend. Andy N.

Delicious food, so good I am thinking of going all the way to Melton just to go to the restaurant again. Unpretentious small place, friendly service, with the best cheese and pepper pasta I can remember having. Everything we had was so tasty. No room for pudding but the cakes and pastries looked lovely.

This is always our go-to place and has been for many years (since they were in the next door deli as it was then). The food is great and authentically Italian, with great daily specials. Fungi pasta, antipasti board and the breakfasts are our favourites. I always take home some cannolis, as they are the best I can find anywhere. Great at any time of day, highly recommended.
