Great food especially the paninis. I been there a few times and enjoyed everyone of the paninis. The atmosphere is beautiful very warming and pleasant by the owner Lenny. The full bar was a great night cap with my dessert on a Saturday night. Walking in there made me feel like i was back home 30 years ago in Harlem, NY. I highly recommend this place for everyone its great to see a part of New York in Shelton, CT

We had an amazing lunch at Cafe Italia today. The Chicken Panani was so good. For dessert we opted for a Hazelnut donut and some Gelato.

Embarking on a culinary journey at Caffè Italia in Shelton is truly an enchanting experience for all who adore Italian flavors. The warmth of the cafe is not only reflected in its cozy, inviting ambiance but also brilliantly mirrored by the friendly, attentive staff who seem genuinely devoted to elevating your dining experience. The Prosciutto Panini is an undeniable star on the menu, with its thinly-sliced, savory prosciutto enveloped between freshly baked bread, creating a symphony of flavors and textures that is both hearty and sublime. The Cappuccinos are equally praiseworthy - smooth, robust, and crowned with the perfect froth, offering a delicate balance that coffee lovers will undoubtedly appreciate. Whether for a leisurely brunch or an afternoon pick-me-up, Caffè Italia stands out as a gem in Shelton, promising a blissful retreat with every visit.

We were SO glad to find Caffe Italia in Shelton! Wonderful little place with so many authentic Italian touches. We enjoyed Espresso Martinis accompanied by pignoli cookies while seated at a table in the window. They carry Borgatti's ravioli from Arthur Avenue which will save us a trip whenever we're too busy to roadtrip to The Bronx! The owners are friendly, the vibe is cool. We'll be back for espresso and pastries soon. Check it out!

This place is going to quickly become one of the gems of Shelton. It has that old style Italian Cafe feel fresh out of New York City. The owner Mike was incredibly friendly. The location is extremely clean. On top of that it has a wonderful flow of service and fantastic presentation. I'm extremely excited to see this become one of the additions to my weekly routines!!

I love this place!!! It’s a perfect spot to pass time while my kids are at hockey practice. Coffee is great. Live that I can have an adult beverage too. Pastries and cakes are tasty and bonus i picked up a few things to make for dinner too. The market inside has great authentic Italian staples.
