I love this place! They serve the best gelato I’ve ever had and today I treated myself to an excellent aperol spritz! They also make a great espresso.

The gelato was divine! Never been to an “Italian bar” so I was a little confused about the names but the staff was super friendly and helpful. The salmon sandwich was a tasty snack.

Stepping into a real Italian bar. A mix of regulars and passers by. Be it for the quick espresso while standing or sitting down with friends for a drink or gelato, we enjoy making this a regular spot. Great service.

Mediocre at best, most of the food are premade from a cooled counter display and looks anemic even when warmed up, the one item we went for they were sold out, got charged $14 for a drink by mistake and had to ask for a refund. Ive been to Italy, the cafe part for espresso is spot on but so is the service (if you know what I mean). The food on the other hand could have been way better was a shame because I was super excited to go here.

Best cappuccino I’ve had in the US. I love the bar, the outside seating, the vibe. It’s like being in Italy, it’s so enjoyable! Their gelato is incredible, as well.

My new favorite place! Want a taste of Italy, and love great coffee? Come to the Italian Bar. I was searching for a coffee place in the neighborhood that’s open on Sunday morning. The Italian Bar is open *every* morning. You don’t want to miss this gem. Clean, charming, excellent service.
