3.0 of 5 stars. No matter how much I try, I just can't bring myself to give Cafe Italia a fourth star. To be fair, it probably deserves an overall 3.5 star, but not enough to deserve the fourth. My dinner companion...

Great Food! by Nancy M. at InsiderPages

Great food and BYOB! The rigatoni with vodka sauce is great as is the Veal Marsala. An excellent place for lunch and prices are less than in the evening.

You have to be kiddiing?

My wife and I where hooking up with an old friend for dinner the other night and she suggested Cafe Italia which was located between us. I've been to Grapevine a few times and never heard of this place. Much to my surprise was a converted Taco Bell where I used to grab a burrito after band rehearsels many years ago. As we pulled up I said, "You've got to be kidding?". I rolled my eyes and knowing at least I could find comfort in the two bottles of vino we brought. I was taken back upon entering that they had really transformed a taco place into a nice cozy little italian reastaurant. My wife had the salmon which was tender and moist while I had the best veal chop I've ever had! I mean it. Dean down at the Ritz coulsn't beat this taste and presentation. Our friend had a gigantic seafood plater that was topped off with a succulant lobster tail. I passed on dessert but my wife did and the canolli(sp) was not too creamy and the crust just the right crispness. All in all I'll go back if I need to meet someone half way from where we live, but with the BYOB you can spend a little more on some really great food and have an excellant meal and get the biggest bang for your buck. Enjoy
