One star is for the location and ambience, we went there today first time. Don't think there was any chef, everything was from frozen food, server didn't had any clue about food. They cannot do had meat half veggie pizza even in two attempts, server confused between what is fresh vs canned jalapeños. Not going there again, sorry! read more

I've now been to this place 3 times for dinner and can honestly say it's my new favorite Italian restaurant in Memphis metro. The location is cozy and charming, in an old house by the railroad on the Collierville Square. The atmosphere is elegant yet casual. I find the service to be consistently friendly, professional, and very focused. The menu has a variety of Italian options, with my favorite being the pizza. 3 people can split one of the large pizzas. And the salads are big. They can be split too. They have wine but no liquor. Usually I'd deduct a star if I can't have my martini apertif, but this place is too good. read more

The place is too small for a lot of people. The service was awesome, and they do refills on drinks. The meat ravioli was good with that marinara sauce. Even the pizza was great, and I ate the mushroom first. The mushroom type is Portabella. The lobster bake is the special, and with those breadsticks you could dip them in it. We are returning. read more

So, we came here on a very strong recommendation from some fellow foodies and honestly I challenge their recommendation. 1. Service - 5 * all the way. From walking in the door to walking out, phenomenal customer service! 2. Atmosphere - also 5* quality - in a quaint old house with old wood floors and enclosed deck seating as well. Romantic and fun! 3. Menu - I'd give a strong 4 *. It was a front / back menu, so there were options. 4. Quality of food - This is where I feel like they fell flat. As all of my other reviews have stated, I am a bit snobby when it comes to Italian food but I'll give any place a try. My husband's "Make your own" pizza was great!!! Bravo! Now this is where we go down hill. I ordered the Caprese salad for an appetizer. Although tasty, very disappointing. It was halved grape/cherry tomatoes with what seemed to be 1 slice of mozeralla cut into 1/4 inch cubes, with large fresh basil, balsamic and pesto. Like I said, tasty but disappointing. Next, my main course. I ordered the Maryland blue crab ravioli. Sounds delicious, right?? Very wrong! First, it comes out with a light brush of sauce on it. (It comes with alfredo but I substituted with what I thought was a pesto sauce). Still, it looks delicious. First bite, ravioli is al dente but the story goes on. Second bite, there's a slight chill, "Was this supposed to be a cold dish?" Because the 3rd bite was the breaker! Not luke warm cool but refrigerator cold. Hum, Nope! Now like I said, the service was phenomenal!! The waitress was very apologetic, took the dish back and had a NEW entree done for me. This one was very toasty warm!! Still the dish just lacked for me. Lacked in sauce for sure, taste - a bit bland, and just overall - blah! Now the question is, would I go back again? Good question. Possibly for the pizza but probably not likely. They were a great little place, just not up to this snobs preferences. Sorry!?! read more

Service is excellent, food is k to good. Appetizer I had the Brioche and wow that was delicious! I wish I had ordered more for my dinner instead of the lobster ravioli. Lobster ravioli was extremely fishy tasting and it was like biting into crunchy shells sometimes. read more

The food is good but a little bit heavy for my liking. I had the crab cake panini and it was just too rich. Pizzas are tasty but unless you get a lunch special they can be pricey. decent sized piece of cake though, couldn't get through even a third of it. read more

Great food. Great service. Warm setting. Had the bleu salad and added grilled chicken. Artichoke/crab dip is great, too. Will return. read more

Cafe Piazza - Pizza Near Me - Collierville, Tennessee

My old man loves this place for some reason; I've tried it a few times and was never impressed with anything beyond their desserts. We went tonight after the Xmas tree lighting on the square because everywhere else was on a wait. Our server, Jennifer, was attentive and did a good job. My old man had a pizza, wife had the crawfish pasta, and kiddo had the fried ravioli. I opted for the special, a penne lobster pasta (similar to lobster Mac & Cheese) for $18. When the food was delivered mine was piping hot out of the oven, covered with a healthy portion of mozzarella cheese. It was too hot to eat, so I dug the top layer of cheese off to reveal the pasta and lobster portions- this is where the disappointment set in... the lobster portion was non-existent. So much so that I made a point (since it was still too hot to eat) to pick out the lobster pieces and pile them on one side of the dish. It took 5 minutes or so, but when I finished there was almost a spoon full of tiny pieces, slivers really, of lobster. When she came back by I asked Jennifer if this was normal, she advised me she would inquire with the kitchen. Upon her return she informed me that the "Chef" advised her that the majority of lobster meat in this particular dish was puréed into the sauce of the pasta. WTF?!? I've had a few lobster pasta dishes in my travels, and normally with an $18 dish you can at least find 1 or 2 decent chunks of meat, but this dish literally had a spoon full of tiny slivers of lobster meat (and a small piece of shell, which was larger than any pieces of meat). I finished the dish, with the exception of the original roof of mozzarella that hid the disappointment. There was no follow up or recourse. I suppose it's par for a Collierville restaurant. On the bright side I can now brag to my friends that I roll enough bank to pay $18 for Mac & Cheese.... One final irk- they don't offer a side salad. My wife and I ended up splitting a $9 Caesar. Dressing tasted like it came out of a jar, lettuce was warm, and it was terrible underwhelming. The final cost of dinner (with no alcohol) was $82. Definitely overpriced for 3 adults and a child. Hopefully they close and someone who has a talent for food can open a decent restaurant. If you're in the area and hungry, try the Pharm2fork. Or go to this place if you're craving dessert. read more

We shared a salad and the Smoked Chicken with Ravioli; it was very good. During the meal, we added the Bread Sticks filled with cheese accompanied with sauce. The Bread was good, but actually the bread that came with the meal, seemed to have better flavor. The sauce with the bread was extremely hot, burn the mouth type temperatures, had hoped they would regulate that better. Completed the meal with a Berry Cobbler, it was very good, would do it again. On our next visit, we will probably go down the Pizza route, with the Salad once more. read more

Their breadsticks are so good. If you like Olive Garden breadsticks, these are 1,000 times better. I had the toasted ravioli as an appetizer, and they were the best I've had. For my entree, I had crab ravioli. The stuffing was good, but it tasted more crab cakey than I expected. The alfredo sauce was creamy and delicious without being too heavy. I got a cannoli to share. Don't make the same mistake I made. Order your own cannoli. read more

Always the best. Absolute fave is Lobster Ziti. Followed by the tuna panini and wedge salad with bacon. The desserts are sensational. Coconut cake and caramel cake Just like my mother used to make. The Millionaire cake is to die for. I have never had a bad or even mediocre meal. Kudos. read more

Whenever I'm traveling, I check for good local pizza places, and I really enjoyed Cafe Piazza. They have a great menu, and it's upscale without being uncomfortable. The service was average, and it did seem like the food took a little longer to get to the table than at a chain restaurant. But it's not a chain, and the food was definitely a reminder of that. The pizza is a thin crust but well done, and the different cheeses available made them stand out. Wish I had room for dessert, but maybe next time. read more

Food is always the best and the music in background is pleasant. The staff super professional and very polite. They never rush you while you enjoy your dinning experience. read more

Have been coming to this little quaint 5restaurant for many years but haven't been able to get there due to the illness. Today I said self it's past time for his famous lasagna. Every thing about this place is truly old world Italy . Highly recommend read more

Quaint little cafe in a charming location on the Collierville square. The food is always amazing and a wonderful choice for locals or visitors. You can tell the owner is from a real Italian family because the ingredients and seasonings all taste super fresh as if they just purchased them that very day. A great place to try and if you do...you will definitely return. read more

Very cozy atmosphere, as if you were right at home! The restrooms are clean and well-kept. Staff is very friendly. Although a bit pricey, the food is delicious. Especially the desserts, I would highly recommend the tiramisu or cannoli. Overall, I would absolutely come back! read more

Listen. I know authentic! The meat sauce takes me back to my grandfathers kitchen in the north east. His father came over from "the boot" if you know what I'm saying. Their meat sauce here is legit. It's the closest I have ever had down here. And the cannoli, "Fuhghettaboutit". So friggin good. We got our meal carry out and could not have been more pleased. Even the carry out service was exceptional. I look forward to enjoying dinner at their place next time. The notes and labeling on our boxes is just that extra special touch that you don't get from chains. Yeah with good fresh food you are gonna pay a little extra but believe me it's worth it. Go out of your way and enjoy this gem. Unless you are already in Cville then it's not out of your way. read more

I wanted to like this restaurant, I really did - especially because they have such a quaint location and atmosphere. We went to celebrate my sister's birthday - we had 8 in our party. We brought the birthday cake, deciding we'd just have it there. The waitress heard about the cake then said they charged a $10 cake fee which included plates and silverware. Huh?! There were a lot of misses after that - the food was just okay - an expensive okay meal at that. read more

Ate here last night for the second time. The artichoke dip is really good. We had the red pepper bisque, and it was good, too. My husband and I both had fettuccine Alfredo for our meals and it was honestly the worst I've ever had. I regretted my decision after the first bite. Three bites in my husband asked me if mine was any good because his had zero flavor. Disappointing $60 (before tip) meal. read more

This was one of my favorite restaurants in Collierville, however I can no longer support a business whose owner has no sense of customer service and who drives his patrons away. I'm getting married, and we are having a very small ceremony. Because this restaurant holds special value to my fiancé and me, we wanted to have a group of 10 here for dinner after the ceremony. The owner declined our request for a reservation even after explaining how we chose this place specially. He said we would sit too long. Let's not forget that we would be spending tons of money on food and alcohol and would be spreading the word, but no. He was ugly and rude on the phone, and I suggest no one goes to this restaurant anymore and instead go somewhere you as a paying customer are appreciated. read more

my husband and i love this place! we were so pleased with ourselves the first time we found it, but apparently the secret has been out for some time! highly recommend the meatball pizza. it's the sort of manfood a woman stabs her husband over. also delightful is the spinach artichoke dip, Parmesan peppercorn dressing, and all of the desserts. weak links in our opinion have been the crab ravioli and mozzarella breadsticks. decent wine list, and Stella is on draft. staff is very friendly and welcoming. be prepared for a wait during prime hours on weekends. it's nice to see local businesses thriving in the suburbs! read more

Cafe Piazza - the crabmeat artichoke dip is not to be missed! - Pizza Near Me - Collierville, Tennessee

I took the wife out on a date night...... The atmosphere was nice, service good, food was good, the waiter share my name so easy to remember always a plus, and a overall good experience. Parking can use an upgrade. The crust of the pizza was so thin but supportive and tasty. Wanted to try some of the apps, but soon realized they run out of things fast. We will be back to try more and enjoy ourselves. Try it! read more

I can only speak of their salad and pizza, but what else do you need? This is such a cozy little restaurant with a friendly staff. Try to get a table in the front and hope for a train to pass by. read more

I've never loved a restaurant so much in my life. For a Collierville native, this place is definitely my pride and joy. I refuse to bring out-of-town friends/family anywhere else. The location is perfect, the staff are friendly/sufficient, but the food has never let me down. I will always choose this place for Italian & pizza. It's costs more, but I guarantee you'll be happy you came. Also, the owner, Pat, is honestly one of the nicest people you'll encounter in your life. read more

Food and service are good. The only problem with this establishment is the lack of space to stand or sit while waiting to be seated - and waits can be long during busy time. The restaurant also offers carry-out which may be easier than waiting sometimes. read more

This was our first visit to Cafe Piazza after many great reviews from family and friends. We arrived right before the dinner rush and were seated immediately. The hostess was very friendly to us; however, there was a younger gentleman who arrived first in his party and was rudely told that not only would they not seat him until everyone arrived, but that all their larger tables were taken and it would be almost 2 hours before he could be seated. I get it- it's dinner rush on a Friday night- but there is no need to be rude, especially in front of other customers. Our waitress was friendly, although a little more preoccupied with a table of people she knew. This particular table had a little girl and she kept hugging her and playing with her hair, then would go to the kitchen and bring out food. I feel certain there was not any handwashing going on in between the trips and seeing as how it was my food she was delivering, that would have been appreciated. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and my husband had the crawfish pasta. We also split an order of garlic breadsticks. Seriously- do not miss out on them. They were amazing! My husband really enjoyed the crawfish pasta and said it was very fresh and flavorful. The spaghetti and meatballs were also very good, but my portion was much smaller than my husband's and there was too much sauce in comparison to the pasta. Good thing the sauce was really good! Our waitress asked about whether we wanted dessert and boxes for our food before we were done eating. When we declined both, she brought the check, leaving us feeling rushed and that it was more important to turn the table over to the next customers. I think we will return because the food was worth it, but the service could use a little finesse. read more

Hubs and I came here for lunch for the first time recently. We were seated in a back corner instead of the open area at the entrance, which would have been much nicer! The Hewlett & Dunn pizza was good, but very very greasy! The plastered walls of the back room were rather distracting, but not as much as the ravioli we were so excited to try. Blue crab ravioli left much to be desired, especially for the price! If not for the name of the dish, I would not have known it was even crab. The sauce used on it was more of a bland béchamel sauce and not cheese-based. Very disappointing dish! Service was excellent though! read more

I thought I got food poisoning from this restaurant but then the next day I found out I had the flu. Food was okay and the service was eh.

Amazing !! Came here with my date and I fell in love with the homemade meatballs and spaghetti. Had meatballs elsewhere but these are something else. And I don't remember the name of the dessert but it was chocolate and raspberry? Melt in your mouth goodness! read more

Great food with wonderful atmosphere! Our favorite place to have lunch in Collierville

The food was very good, they in fact customised the pesto afredo fettucini pasta for us. How sweet!

Cute little restaraunt. The salad and soup are yummy as well as the pizzas! the pizzas are very light and delicious.

We recently moved to Collierville from the Chicago area and have been looking for a good Italian restaurant. Sadly, this place is not it. I ordered a simple dish of spaghetti and marinara sauce. They didn't drain the pasta and it was swimming in water. This also made the marinara sauce very watery. I could have honestly made a much better meal at home with a jar of ragu. read more

Why can't this be closer to my house?!?! When I think of the best pizza I've had in Memphis, this is definitely the meal I remember. It's an old house converted into a restaurant but they don't take reservations so if you try on a Friday/Saturday - you may have a wait. It was definitely worth it for us - we had two pizzas and two deserts along with wine and beers and it was great! I highly recommend it if you are in the area! read more

I wouldn't label this restaurant as pizza. It's Itallian. They have a lot more besides pizza and sandwiches. The food is excellent as well as the service. It's located in a former house. It almost feels like having dinner at a friend's or relative's home. read more

Adorable, unassuming, and peaceful place to lunch. Lot's of natural light, jazz, and the owners make up part of the wait staff which makes the place more home-y and special. The artichoke dip is delicious and so are the salads! Definitely a good place to be if you want to eat clean and light read more

This restaurant was fantastic! First of the restaurant itself is in a beautiful old house. Beautiful large windows, white table clothes, the decor was perfect. I could very much see the decor of this restaurant be photographed and repinned over and over on Pintrest. Our server was extremely personable, fun and helpful. My dinner party order a bottle of white zinfandel and all had different Italian entrees. I serious recommend this restaurant. read more

your service was horrible and the prices were outrageous and when I got my pizza it was cold and the dough was soggy and I even got the wrong frickin pizza 10/10 never going back read more

It's adequate. I would not stop here again if passing through. The salads were the best part. Although the pizzas (great variety) sound fantastic they are not good. It was like a cracker meal dough. Very cute building and nice staff. They cheapen their restaurant by having mozzarella sticks and toasted ravioli. Need a decent salad stop in. read more
