There were flowers everywhere and the overall atmosphere gave off homey European restaurant vibes. The wait staff also dressed very nicely. We got a bruschetta to share and I got the Italian sausage pasta while my friends got the short rib ravioli special and the eggplant parm. The dishes are so filling and flavorful. What stood out was the nice and the flowery presentation. The service was very friendly and fast. It's such a gem and I'm very glad we discovered this place. Will definitely come back to try more dishes as well as the drinks and desserts!

The locale itself is really cute and conveniently located. The ambiance was giving Little Italy pizza & pasta, not fancy by any means, very casual. The food was mediocre -- calamari was alright but the chicken dishes were not that great. The chicken had a bunch of tendon on it which was pretty gross, i've never ordered a chicken marsala and found tendon on the breast. My partner asked to sub pasta as their dishes come with mashed potatoes and vegetables but we were told it wasn't possible to sub pasta because the kitchen was too busy We'll probably just take the extra 10 minute drive into Somerville when craving Italian food.

Wow what a bargain but even at full price, the pasta entree, Rigatoni Ragu was spectacular! A huge portion prepared to perfection. While dining, owner/chef Antonio came out to greet my wife and I. A real authentic kind person and our server Bella, just as kind. The restaurant ambiance was a very cool, relaxed and well-balanced decor making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you to Antonio and Bella.

Don't judge a book by its cover! Caffe Piazza is a BYOB in a strip mall on Rt. 206 in Hillsborough…read more The decor is nice, but not glamorous like some places in NJ. But I'll put the food up against the "so called" best Italian restaurants in North Jersey and NYC. Chef/Owner Antonio is a gracious host and the staff are on top of their game and very friendly. Antonio spent almost the whole meal in the dining room socializing with us. It's a BYOB, but Antonio has awesome home made wine and Limoncello. There is also a liquor store in the shopping center across the street if you want to pick something up. Dishes included: stuffed zucchini blossoms, house made charcuterie, braciola, braised short ribs, meatball w/ ricotta, potato croquettas, calamari, and if you like spicy stuff, the n'duja bread is to die for! Don't order off the menu, let Antonio decide what you're eating. You won't regret it. This was our second time there and I can't wait to go back. This is a hidden gem! Grazie Antonio!

I enjoyed the baby lamb chops over white bean salad w/lemon vinaigrette after sharing calamari with a spicy mango sauce .

Service for a large group was attentive and restaurant allowed you to bring your own bottle so the final bill was more manageable . Parking is available out front.

We were brought downstairs to a large room full of tables and were the only ones in there. We wondered if we'd insulted someone, or if one of us might be 'offensive', (no one was) but as it turns out, it was a 'Godsend'. We're all in our 70's and hearing/speaking can be challenging in a crowded/noisy dining room. We remained the only ones there for almost the entire 2 hours we were there and really enjoyed ourselves without having to yell or ask "WHAT!?" We shared a couple of salads (Greek and Arugula) and calamari, all very good. My wife had the seafood capellini and one sister the seafood fra diavolo, which they both enjoyed. My other sister had a seafood salad and my BIL went for the double cut pork chops, which he too enjoyed. I opted for the Halibut / risotto. Halibut is not an easy fish to make 'moist or juicy'. I make it at home and it comes out 'pretty good' (at least my wife says so) but here, this portion was fantastic! So light an flaky and tasty. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Halibut. We all shared a couple of desserts... a home made carrot cake and a chocolate cake from 'outside'. Both good, but the carrot cake was served warm, which was a first for all of us... and it was terrific! Without a doubt the best carrot cake we'd ever had, so save a little room for their carrot cake if/when go. Our servers, Alyssa and Dagmar provided excellent service as well as some humorous dialogue while we were there. Made our meal just that much better!. Yes... it's a BYOB!

The vibe of the entire place felt like I was sitting in someone's home eating dinner, very nice. My only complaint was our big family being on a rather small table. We parked in the parking deck, which was fine but know there is little to no street parking. The bar was empty but the restaurant had a good crowd. Everyone seemed friendly and hospitable.
