“ I called in for a light lunch while waiting for my daughter. Opted for a toasty, turns out it was not your run of the mill, slap some cheese between 2 slices of bread and throw it in the toaster. This was well presented full of flavour and a hot to eat. Thank you ”

- Gary Wright -

“ Café Italia is a unique local cafe full of character and characters. The locals gather for coffee and conversation and the latter flows at an amusing rate. Well worth a visit if you are a people watcher, and you’re encouraged to join in. The proprietor (Janette) has an infectious personality and her Italian cuisine is delicious ”

- Glynn Mills -

“ Wonderful place! The owners were lovely and very welcoming, and I had a delicious cheese and onion sandwich that was ready in less than 2 minutes along with a really nice cup of tea. I highly recommend coming here, it was so nice. ”

- Samuel -

“ Arrived Saturday 15th June 2024 to find that the place was closed again. So disappointing as the food, coffee and atmosphere is excellent. Please would the owner advertise when the place is open for business rather than finding out upon arrival. Google search informs me the place is open until 3pm Saturdays !!! ”

- David Hoe-Richardson -

“ Great place. The conversations between the owner and the locals is very entertaining and you’re free to join in. Will definitely go here again. ”
