Cafe Italia

I honestly wanted to leave 5 stars based on service and atmosphere, but the food is straight up bland. I got the chicken parmigiana and it literally tasted like nothing. Even adding salt and crushed pepper did nothing to it. The waiter was great. But I just can't get over how bland the food was. There was definitely no garlic or seasoning at all involved. It was just pasta, sauce, cheese and chicken. It was edible, but not enjoyable. I want to say I'd try this place again, but I'm not sure. I like food with flavor.

Ordered a takeout order from here as we were visiting from out of town. Very limited Italian choice in Corpus Christi but this one had some good reviews. The food we had was excellent. The shrimp diablo was perfect and had a good amount of spice. The garlic bread was excellent, both buttery and garlicky. We also had a tortellini bolognese and it was really good as well. Would come back again if we are ever in the area.

I've ordered three times over Uber Eats since I've moved here, I'm a big fan of a bit of everything so the pasta trio was the first two orders, no complaints. Great but not transcendent. But my grade for every Italian restaurant depends on it's Bolognese or meat sauce. I've tried hundreds of them over decades. I love a deep, red gravy meat sauce generally. But this hits differently. Pink in color, it had all the flavor and heartiness of what you would expect but subtle flavors that really worked. It may have been the day or the chef but it is probably the best I've ever tasted. Wish I would have taken a picture. I'll try again and update my review.

Glad we stopped in! Such a unique little spot with Italy vibes! The pizzas are huge! Our waitress Mariah was awesome and so nice. Definitely a great place with quality grub and great pricing!

Hands down the BEST Italian food in Corpus Christi. If not anywhere. The owner is excellent, courteous and very outgoing. The servers are all family and are all so sweet and kind and attentive. The food is incredible. Everything tastes different, the sauces are all so authentic and all the pasta is made in house. The chicken Florentine soup is to die for. Huge portions and reasonable prices.
