The decor is amazing with an original caravaggio artwork hanging on the wall (allegedly). Everything else is a complete let down. Overpriced, the food was awful ( my panini had the meanest filling, apart except for the parsely "bush " stuffed into it for bulk, which granted left its mark, but only beacuse it kept repeating on me for days after). My wifes apple and walnut salad was a chopped apple and a few walnuts with an insipid dressing ( god knows what it was). The nail in the coffin were the toilets. Oh,and the staff were more interested in themselves then their customers. My tip is try the little chinese cafe down the road...more atmosphere, food great,and you don't feel cheated when you leave ( We both had to get something to eat after leaving this place for lunch).

fine for a dandy, as well. May be a century since the day of the dandy, but I'm sure he and his top hat and cane would have loved it. All the little benches, like church pews, and accompanying wee tables are perfect for a snifter of brandy (replace w/ cappuccino) and a deck of cards (replace w/ an NYU student's text books). It's reeking of character here. Old paintings, eclectic dusty objects, and a pounded tin ceiling careening under the weight of the floors above... all give this place immeasurable charm. The food is so-so, the coffee is high-octane, and the desserts are delish.

It's nice cozy restaurant.Ordered for a walnut panini - it was awesome. The strawberry milkshake was also pretty nicely done; homely atmosphere with courteous servers. I liked it very much; surely visit again.

Overall I was impressed with the food but the prices are a little high for what you get. I had the firenze tramezzino and my husband had the tuna sandwhich. They were both pretty good but I didnt like that the prices they have on their website are significantly higher than their menu. The portions are moderate. Dont even bother with sodas cuz theyll hand you a mini bottle of ginger ale and pass it off for 2.75. The servers were good but they messed up my order.

even a "first meet" kind of date, that is of course if the college kids aren't around. good brushetta and light sandwiches...decent expresso (although used to be better). Have never had the desserts though... never trust a cannoli that's sitting in the case -) I guess they must own the building, most of the decent cafe's and bistros have closed down in the village due to exhorbitant rents and long term leases expiring.

I've been putting off writing a review of Caffe Reggio for a bit so as to try more of their dishes ...I have a tendency to go there and always order the Affogatto which though absolutely delicious is not exactly demonstrative of what they might offer overall. Reggio's big claim to fame is that they say they were the first to bring espresso to the US. First or not,they make fabulous coffee drinks, sometimes combining espresso with ice cream and such to make some tasty treats. That's not all though. Reggio's also has an extensive menu with food, and though one would expect small portions given the low prices, there is plenty on the plates, and all of what I've had thus far very good. It's great for grabbing lunch if you work nearby, and being open late, is also a great alternative to the bar scene! Service here, at least in my experience, is good and friendly. I generally have no problems getting refills, orders, or cheques though being a cafe setting it is necessary sometimes to ask the server as he\she walks by. Since the place is small, this is never a big deal though. As to atmosphere, Reggio feels its age but elegantly. They have the 'original' espresso machine up for display along with classic paintings to compliment the classical music. The tables are marble top with a miscellany of chairs to go with them, most seating indoors but there are also a few outside under an awning. Seating is tight, esp when Reggio's is busy...and it frequently is, and tables are pretty small. There are also no electrical outlets available for computers which is a bit of a drawback, but if you are looking to have a conversation or read a book it's great, if a bit dark in terms of lighting. Oh, by the way... If you don't have time to take a seat but still want to grab a snack here, there is a gelato seller out front. Overall, great place for a meal, a snack, dessert, or just a cuppa espresso. One of my favorites!

I love to sit in Cafe Reggio when I've got reading to do. I love to sit in the back booths where it's dark and cozy, and the artwork and the music they play is very, very me. I can happily spend a little while in there after I'm done eating and/or drinking. What I always drink without fail- almond cappucinos (which are heavenly), tamarind or mint sodas (which are also heavenly), or pots of chamomile tea (which is usually good anywhere, but the fact that it's in a pot at Cafe Reggio makes it all the greater). As far as the food goes, I love their bruschetta with pesto, the mozarella panino with dill pesto, their chicken salad sandwich with potato salad, greens and pickle, and their poached eggs with cheese over rice. Their cannoli isn't bad either. And for the cheap, cheap, CHEAP prices, you really can't ask for a better little place to hang out. No wonder it's a neighborhood institution.
