  This was not my best experience at the Cafe. It's my first time with a walker.  I placed my order fota soup and a torpedo sandwich.
  I paid for it, although being here many times the cashier, Krystal, referred to me with the wrong pronoun. I think the Italian Centre needs to learn how to greet all people. I was given a table number to have my food brought to my table.
  The barista delivered my coffee. My food arrived later with the wrong soup. They took it back and brought the one I ordered.
  They really need to work on the table service.

  We go there for the deli meat and cheeses, for the  pasta, the imported goods, the frozen section, the variety of coffee and tea, for the lunch/ snack or breakfast with latte or cappuccino. The fresh produce is awesome, too. I am so happy that I can go to a place like this- it feels like home away from home

  Wow this place is busy! The service is like a cafeteria but I feel like I'm at an Italian market!
  They make the best mushroom risotto! !! And the pastries are AMAZING! The pizzas are made to order. And if you want you can order FRESH pizza dough on certain days and make your own!
  Well worth the wait!

  Came here on a very bustling Sunday afternoon around lunch  time with my boyfriend. We waited patiently in line beside the dessert display, for someone to take our order. The lady behind the display doesn't give you any time to order, pushing people through so quick your head will spin. There is no menu board up for people to review, with only what you can pick up in your immediate view. She took my boyfriend's order (a piece of focaccia), while I was undecided still. By the time we got to the til to pay, I was ready to order, and at the annoyance of the man at the til I may add. I ordered a turkey panini and a small tomato boconccini salad. He begrudgingly and rather rudely gathered the items for me (the salad on a plate and the sandwich into a panini press) like I was throwing off his mojo or something.
  
  In the meantime, we found an empty table on one side of the restaurant (which as rare to get I might add). The table still hadn't been cleaned and there were dishes and glasses and crumbs left over from the previous patrons. And not once, I might add, did I see any employees come out to clean any of the tables as people left.
  
  We weren't sure how the process worked for my panini as it was being heated up. After several minutes, my boyfriend got up to see if they were bringing it out to us, when he returned with the sandwich in hand. Talk about hard crusty bread! I know for sure that the sandwich was left to "panini" WAY too long which was why the bread was practically unedible. I actually ended up removing the top layer of bread just so I could bite through the sandwich without it cutting my mouth.
  
  So I would not recommend this place after this poor experience. No one was friendly, no one cleans the tables, and the food is very mediocre.

  The food and coffee makes up for the confusing service. To start, it was quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. People who were obviously more experienced than myself were calling their orders over the counter, rather than waiting in line at the till. You might think this would speed up service but it actually made things chaotic and they ended up forgetting half of my order.
  
  They had a few lunch specials that sounded delicious. We couldn't resist the homemade focaccia with basil and tomato. We also ordered the meatball sandwich that was accompanied by a green salad. Both were really tasty! We didn't order any sweets but saw lots of people enjoying treats, including gelato.
  
  There is a fair amount of seating in and around the cafe and we were still lucky to find a table. The atmosphere has a distinctly European vibe. There are many groups of friends and family speaking Italian. I was nice to grab food so seamlessly after picking up some groceries from the Italian Centre.
