Raves for Cafe Italia
I just want to take a moment to appreciate what a fine establishment Cafe Italia has blossomed into since their move to Guilderland. When they were in Albany, they were always very good. Very consistent, with an emphasis on quality and a great menu, but the new space they're in and just the flow and atmosphere of the space, the incredibly warm and professional staff, and the overall experience has just seemed so much more elevated. Given further that I can go to a place like Jacob and Anthony's and pay practically the same amount of money and basically get a scoop of wet pasta and a basil cream sauce and they'll try to convince me that it's a pesto. That is NOT pesto! you cant call that pesto! there's no CREAM IN PESTO!! Pesto needs to be made on-the spot and this is just some shit they keep in a bucket in the cooler!
BASIL CREAM SAUCE!!
not PESTO!!!
It's crazy to me that other restaurants in the area think they're operating at the same level as Cafe Italia , and they're just not.
Anyway, great time. Great food. Pricey, sure. But so worth it. Can't wait to go again.
