081 Cafe

Went on a Friday night. Service was attentive and food came out in a timely manner. We loved the meatball appetizer-very tender and flavorful. I was a big fan of the chicken parm vodka entree and my husband enjoyed his mussels fra diavola. The tiramisu was heavenly. Atmosphere was nice. Will definitely be back.

I used to love going to this place a lot. The service is always amazing and welcoming, don't get me wrong. But after celebrating my 5-year anniversary at this restuarant we were sadly disappointed in the quality of food. We went on a Friday night, and the place wasn't packed, so we expected the night to go well. This place used to be our go-to for pizza and their Vodka Pasta. They got rid of their pizza, which was a hit on their menu. And the vodka pasta that we ordered was overwhelmed with Pepper Flakes. It almost tasted like they dumped a whole can of red pepper seasoning into the sauce. It was too spicy and unenjoyable that I could only take three bites and had to cut our meal short. The pasta was overcooked and falling apart. On top of that, the bread we started our meal with was cold

We had a truly delightful meal. The food was amazing and well portioned. There is a no rush atmosphere and a very casual and welcoming staff. The menu had something for everyone. The salad was fresh and a good mix of greens. We should have had the dressing on the side for our preference but that was a mistake us. Lamb was out of this world. I can’t wait to return.

Honestly not a horrible restaurant, besides being incredibly overpriced. Although, two people including myself ordered the skirt steak off the menu for an entree with no one else ordering steaks and we both received ribeyes. Mine was not cooked right and had no seasoning on it. If we’re being honest here the steak was comparable to the $9 thin one from your local grocery store. Not a $42 skirt steak let alone the $54 ribeye featured on the menu. Staff was fine but young an inattentive.

My friend and I came here for dinner tonight. This is my second time dining here, first was last year and both times the food did not disappoint. They are definitely on the more expensive side but you can taste how fresh their homemade pasta is, absolutely delicious. I had their Pennone short rib pasta dish and would 100% order again. They are BYOB, my friend and I brought a bottle of prosecco to share and their atmosphere is beautiful in the back room. It is a small space so it does get a little noisy and hard to hear when they are busy. The servers were friendly and came numerous times to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We are definitely looking forward to coming back, I can’t wait to try their Truffle Pappardelle dish next time!
