We had a beautiful bridal shower for my sister at Cafe Z. Patty and her staff are wonderful, super accommodating, patient, and great host. The food was super delicious and the venue is a great size. Everyone at the party commented on how great everything was, we all had a fabulous time.

Solid Italian food, yummy drinks, and great service! I love it here! With homey/divey feels this spot delivers excellent Veal Parm (which lasts me 3 meals), Stuffed Shells, salads, and more. I’ve been coming here since high school with friends and family for casual dinners and events and have also ordered catering-sized trays for home parties. Mangia! Mangia!

I was there for my birthday. It is small inside where we were. The djs was ok. The food was very good very pricey. The actions of the server was he didn’t want to be working. It looked like a bar setting for grown folks but there were kids there as well. Quiet little hideaway.

I stopped in because I had to wait for a friend who was having a procedure done in the adjoining medical bldg. I sat outside and ordered the garlic shrimp and a ceasar salad, both were just perfect! The service is also excellent!!

Absolutely disgusting. The “pizza” was worse than frozen. It didn’t have sauce on it, just diced tomatoes. And, the crust was like a cracker. Plus, it had the added bonus of attacking my stomach.

Great food but I wish I didn’t have to beg for someone to wait my table. They really need to do better.

There’s nothing better to me, than a place that serves great wings. Their garlic parmesan wings are incredible. I had our with their tasty and refreshing tomato and mozzarella salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing. Every bite was delicious. Put that with a great atmosphere and energy, and some house music and I’m more than happy. I ordered my usual (anywhere I go) a Cosmopolitan with Titos and FRESH lime juice, muddled. I was little disappointed they didn’t have one main ingredient and no tools to squeeze the limes properly. All in all, I was still very much satisfied with my visit (which was my 3rd visit) and will definitely visit them again.

Weird set up in the basement. Then the rooms are divided. Decent food and decent prices. Plenty of parking in the rear.
