    This hidden gem has the best italian food. I am super picky and this food was to die for! Everything was delicious. By far one of the best meals I have ever eaten!

    Cafe Torino
    Jack W.

    From time to time, since July 2016, I have eaten at Cafe Torino's. Their food has always been excellent, be it breakfast (scrambled eggs & bacon with bread), lunch, or dinner. Many times there is a large crowd in a small area at their tables, similar to a cafe in Italy. Outside seating is available. I arrived, with reservations, at 1pm for an inside table. I was surprised that all but one of their inside tables were taken as well as two outside tables. I was not expecting this large a crowd for a Thursday. I do recommend that you call to make reservations, especially for lunch and dinner. Cafe Torino stayed busy and also there were several people coming in for their called in takeaway order. I had the Reuben sandwich which comes with a bag of potato chips and I also had a glass of tea. Reuben is my go to sandwich order at a cafe or restaurant and I have never been disappointed at Cafe Torino. Their Reuben is on toasted focaccia bread with the usual corned beed, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and dressing. This was the best focaccia bread I have eaten. I was so surprised at how well balanced all the ingredients were. At other restaurants and cafes I have been served a Reuben sandwich that had too much of or not enough of the various ingredients and of course the Reuben did not have focaccia bread. I was surprised and disappointed that I could find no complaints with my Reuben. My wife had the chicken salad sandwich, which was also on focaccia bread with a garden salad and iced tea. She was very pleased with the taste and quantity of chicken salad. She is also a lover of focaccia bread. The garden salad was the normal type you receive as a side. We both enjoyed our sandwiches and look forward to another meal at Cafe Torino.

    Mushroom and black truffle pasta! Too die for!

    I have lived in a culpeper for almost 9 years and have never been here. My husband and I went for lunch and boy oh boy, I'm so mad I haven't been sooner. We had the best service by the owners son and another young man. The mushroom/black truffle pasta was HANDS DOWN the best I've ever had. The bread? Whewwweee, so so good! My husband had the chicken Parmesan. Everything was so fresh and you can tell they put so much care into their food. I ended up leaving with a key lime pie and salted caramel cookies. TOO DIE FOR AS WELL! We will be back, no doubt.

    Cafe Torino gluten free birthday cake

    Their birthday cakes are like a big city Italian bakery. They are as beautiful and delicious as New York bakeries. My daughter needs gluten free (gf) and their's does not make anyone miss the gluten. The owner and his wife are very sweet and accommodating of special requests. I plan on supporting this Cafe as item as possible to ensure they stay open, profitable and local.

    OMG! Fast, fresh, and fabulous describes the team and food here. Ordered the Salmon BLT. It was filled with fish and all the favors complimented well. My son ordered linguine marinara with meat balls. Everything was so fresh. Noodles homemade and the sauce was made from scratch. The bread complimented the meal perfect. My son who is a very picky eater licked the plate. Definitely recommend this place. Now for desert.

We started with the Shrimp Bad Bing and the baked meatballs, and both were absolutely delicious. For our entrée, my wife and I shared the Short Rib Ragu, and it was outstanding. We'd order it again in a heartbeat. Our grandkids loved their spaghetti and meatballs, which made everyone at the table happy. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. As we looked around and saw other dishes being served, we realized there are so many more menu items we want to try. We're already looking forward to coming back--and we'll probably be there next Friday for happy hour! If you've never been, don't wait 20 years like we did. Highly recommended!

From the staff who took our reservation, she was so polite, and concerned if we had any issues that they should be aware of; which we did, we had two with mobility issues, so she made sure we were seated on the first level. We sat on the patio which was a great idea, beautiful outdoor dining area. Our waitress was great, she had full knowledge of the menu and made great recommendations, from appetizers to entrees. We started our experience with orders of the arancini filled with bolognese with peas and mozzarella , Zeppoles with prosciutto and hot honey drizzle, fried artichokes with a garlic aioli, and the house meatballs topped with mozzarella and baked. They were awesome! Deliciousness in every bite! On to our entrees, I ordered the spicy seafood pasta, mussels, shrimp and scallops over homemade tagliatelle with a spicy marinara sauce. The stuffed gnocchi, light fluffy pillows of pasta stuffed with Asiago cheese with a sun dried tomato cream sauce. Chicken Milanese topped with a lemon butter sauce and a tomato conserva and arugula salad. Rigatoni ala Vodka. And our final dish sausage ragu bianco, homemade radiatorre pasta in a spicy sausage ragu sauce. All of the entrees were phenomenal, we each tried some of each!!! We ended our meal with the best Tiramisu we've had in a long time, Basque cheesecake, and a cannoli. From start to finish we were blown away! If you haven't eaten there or it's been a while, GO GO GO!

Our waiter, Jack, was an absolute superstar. He was knowledgeable, attentive, funny, and incredibly helpful with our selections. He truly made the evening special. We started with the calamari and a salad with goat cheese, walnuts, and pomegranate unfortunately, I can't remember the name of it, but it was absolutely delicious! The complimentary bread served with their infused olive oil was outstanding and worth mentioning on its own. For our entrées, my husband and I both ordered specials the Lobster Ravioli and the Halibut. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also enjoyed an excellent red blend wine. By that point, we had enjoyed enough wine that I completely forgot to take photos of the specials!

I also got a side of potatoes which were crispy and very delicious. The side costs extra, which was as bummer cause some places give you a side for free. The sandwich was good and had a huge chunk of chicken on it. The salad was fresh and crispy. It was pretty busy for a Wednesday night, but there was plenty of seating. All of the staff that I encountered were very friendly, they were very quick to clean our table as we finished with dishes, and I also bought a piece of bread pudding to take home, which was amazing as well.

When we were finally seated, we told the waitress at the top of the night that we had a gluten intolerance in our group. When my friend ordered specifically gluten free pasta, she was served pasta with gluten. This is a serious disease and was absolutely unacceptable and unsafe. We got to send the food back luckily, but by the time it came we were all done eating, and her pasta was undercooked. Additionally, we order two appetizers, they didn't come until significantly after all our entrees. We had to ask multiple times for them to take this off our order, but they refused. After multiple attempts to fix this, we finally got them comped. When we ordered drinks, my friend didn't get her drink until 10 minutes after everyone else got theirs. Overall the staff were very difficult to work with and speak with them. The waitress ended up hiding from us and asked a different server to serve us, even though we were being very even tempered and reasonable with all our requests.
