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.

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!

Very friendly staff and warm, inviting atmosphere make every meal feel like it was prepared by Nonna. The homemade bread (you can ask for olive oil and herbs) was a great start to a meal as well as the Mozzarella sticks! Soup always good and salad is crisp and fresh. Veal piccata with spaghetti is a family favorite, the veal is very tender, fine grained and melts in your mouth. The cutlets are pan seared perfectly to a slight golden brown to give it that bit of crisper outer layer. Build your own pasta is my favorite and the servings are very generous. Definitely go to dinner hungry. So many options available on the menu. A must try if you have not.

OMG! What an amazing place. This is tucked away and easy to miss, but DON’T! Came here for lunch on a Sunday. Our server Mariah greeted us and sat us right away. Her service was so pleasant, very timely, and super informative. We had fried cheese (of course) and Florentine soup to start. The fried cheese had an almost never ending cheese pull to indicate fresh cheese and not frozen. The Florentine soup was subtle yet delicious. I took Mariah’s suggestion and had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Loaded with steak and for the first time here in CC I could actually taste the green peppers, mushrooms along with the steak. Again, indicating the freshness of the ingredients! My wife had the Shrimp Diablo. The pasta was a perfect al dente (as they make the pasta and all breads) in house! The sauce was just spicy enough with a wonderful blend of tomato and spices not to overwhelm the large succulent shrimp in the dish. For dessert, a delicious cannoli. Not too sweet and with a perfect thick and crunchy shell! Please come here! Take my word for it, this is a real Italian joint. I know because I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in New York! Thank you Cafe Italia and thank you Mariah!

Food: The mozzarella bread was good, it came with some marinara. We ordered it to go with the oil dip. Turns out we didn’t have to do that! You get complementary bread, which tastes amazing.
I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was good. The sauce around the ravioli has some small shrimp throughout. My girlfriend ordered the chicken Frances, which had a really delicious light sauce. If you like Moscato, you can’t go wrong ordering some here!
Service: Friendly, attentive service. Drinks never ran dry.
Atmosphere: Cozier space, but didn’t feel cramped. Not uncomfortable.
Overall, we’ll give Cafe Italia 5/5. Looking forward to trying other dishes!

Call-in Order
1st time having to write a negative review. Wish I could give 0 stars.
I have been ordering my Italian food exclusively from Cafe Italia for over 4 years and I have never experienced such disrespectful service. The food is always amazing so no complaint on that. Except tonite I must have ordered too late. 8:45pm
When I called I asked multiple questions, which the person answering struggled with a little. (Manager – claimed to be standing next to the person at the time of call) I ordered 2 plates that we eat every time. Added ex sauce and was asked which salads I wanted. (No soup available) I chose 1 Ranch and 1 Caeser with no mention of any up charge for Caeser. Im not cheap by any means, but courtesy is to mention that there is an up charge since my Caeser was $2 ex and we really never eat the salads. I might have changed my mind to a house salad. But at least offer that information. I also ordered a Bolognese plate. I asked for a kids and I was told they don’t make that in kids, but they do have an 8.99 plate and a 12.99. I chose the smaller. As my order was repeated I corrected the person several times because my order was wrong. Manager would have heard corrections if she was standing there as she claimed.
I showed up for pick up, and restaraunt looked closed at 9:30pm with the chairs up, and several servers waiting to leave. (My food was spread out on multiple tables.) My total seemed higher than normal and I actually ordered less than I usually do so I asked questions about my bill. Manager or Owners Daughter as she stated, seemed irritated that I was questioning and broke down bill very rudely while speaking to me like I was uneducated. My energy will match the energy that is thrown towards me and my voice matched hers. I continued on with my bill questions. At this point the 3 female servers stood up, walked to the register counter and started talking AT me which of course is going to raise the energy even more. I believe one told me “Caeser salad has a diff lettuce in it, that’s why!” and rolled her eyes at me. I explained that no one was even speaking to them and turned attention back to my bill and the manager. I handed her my card and stated that I couldn’t believe the treatment. The main waitress that kept escalating things yelled “You can just leave” and told me that I was being rude. Really!!! For asking questions on my bill! And told that if I had specific questions maybe I should have come in to the restaurant and ordered. Wow! Delivery, call in and pick up are all ordering methods for the convenience of those that can’t come in for whatever reason. I paid because I’m not disrespectful like that, my family was waiting and my food was already made. The same waitress that was yelling at me followed me to the door as I was walking out. Thats a pretty threatening gesture after all the verbal attacks. Lucky I am not that type because I could have contacted police for that matter. Three servers yelling at me and the worst one follows me to the door, unprovoked is definitely not professional. Hope there are cameras for owner to see how this was handled. One male server helped me carry my food out, dropped it, but that was fine. Because honestly he was the best part of the visit. He was very polite and apologized to me. I looked back and the same server that followed me out was behind the door now, smiling sarcastically and telling me bye. Disgusting behavior.
“Manager” could have de-escalated the situation by controlling her staff.
I was a server for many years and also a business owner now. This type of treatment would never be tolerated towards anyone. Maybe they were just ready to close but no matter what… TREAT YOUR LAST GUEST JUST LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR FIRST.
I will ensure we never use this place for corporate events again, if that is the treatment and service that is tolerated.
Ordered:
2 Chicken Forest (pd for ex sauce)
1 Chicken Alfredo (pd for ex sauce)
1 sm Ziti Bolognese
1 18″ 1/2 cheese 1/ pepp
1 Baked Meatballs
6 Rolls
1 Dipping Oil
$105+

We have wanted to try this joint out and although the food was good we might just do take out next time. Like I said no complaints on the food, it was delicious. Plating was very appealing and pricing did not seem out of line. However they did run out of the soup of the day, we were there at 6pm and they close at 10pm. Also the special was steak and it was over cooked. The atmosphere was decent however the staff were just “there”. No one was rude but they were definitely not the friendliest. When we go to eat we want both good food and a friendly staff. Here we feel cheated because we only received one.

I think cafe Italia is a great place to go out with your significant other and family, the pasta is always really good I’ve generally have had no issue with this place other than service but we’re always understanding of if it’s busy or not.

My favorite pizzeria in Corpus so far!
If you’re hunting for that real-deal, New York-style pizza in Corpus Christi, Cafe Italia nails it. The crust has that perfect balance—thin but sturdy, with just the right crisp.
The restaurant is located in a strip mall but still brings old school Italian vibe…also has great lunch specials!
