Loveria Caffe

I recommend reservations as this place can get busy quick! My wife and I love Italy and the food there. We are always on a hunt for good authentic Italian cuisine. This place is the closest you can get to it in the mid-cities. They have a lot of great pasta dishes and a few good meat entrees to choose from. There is a huge wine list including wines made by the owners family; according to our waitress. The staff was attentive to us, the host found us a table quickly and the food was excellent. I will be back and highly recommend this place.

The good: The pork chop was amazing! Tender, juicy and the light maple glaze was outstanding. The place is very nice, well decorated. Loved how it is decorated with empty wine bottles and boxes. The bad: The service! Super slow, terribly slow. We got a free tiramisu to go to compensate for the terrible service. And then, the other food items we ordered. The octopus was tough, undercooked, supposedly had some pineapple but couldn't find anywhere. They offer bread with olive oil and a balsamic jelly to start, but neither stood out. The jelly was just weird, have had better olive oils and bread was dry. Cacio e Pepe was authentic but lacking some flavor, not bad but not great either. Tiramisu, huge disappointment, served on a cup, instead of a plate; could have used more 'bread' and coffe, too much mascarpone and needed more balance.

We just eat here tonight. First time for us. Surprisingly good. The place is quaint and cute. We’d been all over Italy a few times. The food here is like being in Italy. The waitress that served us I didn’t get her name, she was very attentive, friendly and she even gave me extra bread, Olive oil, balsamic vinegar to go with my leftovers. We’ll definitely come back here again, and highly recommend it.

It's a nice clean, modern decor, a bit on the fancy side, restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine, though a bit on the high priced side. We all tried different plates and all tasted very good with good sized portions, including the tasty house salad. They have a extensive wine list with nice house wines. All in all it was a good experience: good food and good service...and would go again.
