“ Oh my god I love love love this cafe! How did authentic Italian food end up in Langley Park of all places?? I don't know but I'm so glad it did. Everything is delicious, reasonably priced and they do great coffee. My husband and I lived in Rome for a while and their cannoli is on par! The various cakes on offer are all amazing as well - shout out to the Red Velvet cheesecake especially - and the service is always friendly and welcoming. They are dog friendly too and always get a bowl of water for Cooper (who embarrassingly never drinks any but it's still much appreciated). If this place ever closes I'm selling up and moving somewhere else. ”
“ Brilliant little local cafe, fab coffee's, lovely food and friendly staff ”
“ Lovely food. I’ve been back a few times now I’ve discovered this little cafe. Had sausage caramelised red onion and mozzarella ciabatta I changed cheese in mine to mozzarella ( charge 2 to change cheese which is expensive) lemon cheesecake is also delicious It’s a tad slow when waiting for takeaway food but has been worth the wait each time. It’s not a cheap sandwich & coffee lunch it was nearly 17 when I had cheesecake with sandwich and coffee. Would recommend. ”
“ Great coffee, lovely staff. The chocolate chip cheesecake is beautiful. Savory meals are delicious. I recently tried a gluten free coffee cake and really enjoyed it. Enjoyed a wonderful french toastie and there is always a delightful range of delicious sweets. They are now doing special luxurious coffees. I enjoy the luxurious spiced latte. ”
“ Very popular and not big but we were lucky enough to get a table. Fast and efficient service even though just 2 people working. Perfect mix of traditional full English breakfast with authentic Italian coffee, grilled sandwiches and sweet treats (canoli were amazing) ”
“ The food is absolutely amazing. The staff are lovely. Definitely my go to place to go in this area. Fabulous Coffee. ”
“ I'm very much a coffee snob, but here it's beautiful, truly Italian taste. I don't live in Langley Park, but this is a cafe I'm coming over the hill for ”
“ Amazing local piece of Italy. Great food and coffee every time. The canoli are to die for, and so is their pistachio cream in jars. ”
