There are very few atmospheric and beautiful seats near the window, and you'll likely need to reserve them. If you arrive alone, you'll be seated in the aisle. Inside, you're greeted by an open view of the kitchen and chefs, along with a beautiful long bar. There's no music, only the sounds of conversation. I ordered pasta carbonara, lasagna, two salads with tomatoes and mozzarella, something like Caprese, and a cappuccino. The first and second courses were delicious, and the cappuccino was also top-notch. It cost 500 shekels with tip. I can't say anything bad, except for the table arrangement, which isn't the best.
We arrived after several years of pause, to find that the restaurant greatly improved. We also found that our long gone dish returned in the specials: hot chicken livers salad. Each dish was simply fantastic, well made, exact and very tasty. The empty dishes proved it... Roi the waiter was amazing - tidy, helpful and unintrusive. Saturday is families day, so many enfants and small kids raise a lot of noise and hassle, but that's part of the deal.

Everything was absolutely spectacular!
Starting with the excellent service, and continuing with the great food, including the dish I love the most, a real spaghetti carbonara, which is rarely found here in Israel. Absolutely perfect, we really enjoyed our visit ❤️

Some places just get it right.
Cafe Italia in Tel Aviv is exactly that kind of place.
A classic Italian restaurant that feels effortless and precise.
I started with a great carpaccio, continued with a fresh and well balanced salad, and finished with a tiramisu that was simply perfect.
The portions were generous, the ingredients high quality, and the execution clean and accurate.
Sometimes all you need is a restaurant that does simple things - and does them very well.
Excellent experience.

First time in this Italian-vibe resto and its relaxed ambience. We had the mixed variety of nature divine mushrooms along with the Asoboko meat, both recommended!
Also the pie filled with pistachio & chocolate is a must. You won't regret!
