I missed the bus stop so I got off the next stop and ran into this cafe! It’s surprisingly comfy and chill. Everything here is delicious! The gelato looks so beautiful and the espresso flavor is amazingly good. The cakes are all so pretty that I wanna try every of them. My hot americano is PERFECT too. I am so glad to have missed the bus stop now, and I would like to visit here again real quick!
The pizza is delicious. The flavor is great. This is the pepperoni, but we ask without onions. I can't get over the terrible cutting, though. We can never order it to eat out because it is like one big piece. A whole pizza is 4 slices!
This was a very happy surprise! We did a search for cannolis, and this came up. I got the pistachio gelato which had a very brown butter flavor to it. Absolutely delicious. Their espresso was perfect and we ordered cannolis which were magnificent. The cannoli shell was crispy and flaky and the filling was dotted with mini chocolate chips. We’re definitely coming back for pizza and more dessert!
Cute spot for studying or a cute lil coffee date! lovely outdoor seating and more indoor seating around the corner to the back. Staff is SO friendly they remember your name after coming regularly. Food has always been delicious! Highly recommend the flavored coffee (any!), pizzas are fresh made or pananis are awesome. Feel free to ask the staff questions if you have dietary restrictions they are very accommodating.
BEST little Italian place in town! From cafes, to croissants, pizzas, paninis, focaccia, sweets, and salads!
My parents recently moved to Kensington and my husband and I were in town for two weeks to help.
We walked here almost every day to try something new and it NEVER disappointed us.
The breakfast croissants were delish - my fav was salmon and hubbys was the bacon. Made fresh and made to order - I love how the croissant was lightly toasted on top. The flakes were messy but incredible.
Fav pizza for me was the breakfast pizza with bacon and over easy eggs - hubbys was the pepperoni pizza. This pizza didn’t even need ranch! The dough is house made - per a server we asked. Perfectly thin in the middle with the crust being fluffy. One pizza was perfect for two people.
They have 30% off pizzas on Tuesday and 50% off panini’s on Wednesday.
The paninis we so crispy and the stack was delish! I loves the sauces on them - I’m drooling already thinking about them.
Before you leave you MUST get the affogato! It’s their espresso which is imported from Italy - and they pour it over a scoop of house made gelato!we tied a few flavors but our favorite was vanilla. When I say we basically had it every day - I’m pretty serious. It was the perfect treat. The espresso was frothy and creamy - then on top of the gelato … I miss this place already!
Loved being able to eat outside and enjoy the air. The staff was always so nice. Place was always clean. Bathrooms clean.
Just go already. Lol

Good italian cafe but a bit expensive, tasty gelato options
It's dangerous having a place like this so close to where I live. The pizza is fabulous and it takes tremendous restraint not to get a scoop of gelato. Every time I come visit. They had a nice freebie during the Kensington Talmadge association holiday lights bike ride last weekend.
I have lived in this area for the past six years and this is the first time I have eaten here. My wife and I stopped by on a whim and ordered some Prosecco and some brunch food (breakfast plate, croissant, and tomato basil soup).
I can’t really put into words how friendly they were and how truly delicious the food was. The food just tasted really clean and not overly salted. Everything was just right!
I will be coming back to try gelato soon! Stay tuned 😉
Actually 3.5/5
Nice selection of pizza... But their basic pizza (margarita)is borderline OK. Nice crust, crispy outside, soft inside. Something off on their tomato sauce (cooked? Something unusual added?).. the cheese failed to make love to the sauce.. something lacking...
Their desserts look lovely but way overpriced (more than 2x price).
The gelato was not made there, and had more of an ice cream texture, gelato typically is never hard packed, and they get theirs shipped, frozen. But flavors were tasty.
Overall rating B minus.
I found this place by pure chance. I bought these delicious goodies! The flavor was intensely good and the dough fresh. It's definitely on my list of places to return to. They have multiple food items that I want to try next.
