Il Vecchio Cafe — Restaurant in Caldwell

Besides the food, the service is outstanding. I asked the waiter if they have any hot drink like hot chocolate coz we were sitting outdoor and it was kinds cold when it’s getting late, the waiter told me they don’t have it. But after while he came back and let us know he just went to the kitchen and talked to them and found out they have chocolate milk and they can steam it. And ended up they didn’t charge us too. When our table server/waiter went to the kitchen (before we knew he went to the kitchen to find out the hot chocolate for us), another waitress passed by and checked out each table and when she asked if we needed anything and we said we ordered already, he immediately observed that our glass was still empty that she thought no one brought us water yet, so she immediately went to grab us water. The front desk who took us to our dining table also observed that our seats were without cushions and told us it’s better to sit on cushions and brought us the cushions for our seats right away. All of these thorough details impressed us a lot! The foods are good as well. We especially like the duck breast, even the side dish like potatoes well cooked and filled with garlic aroma. I also love the veggies risotto that the veggies taste so fresh. Other dishes are average as well. Definitely wanna come back to try more of...

First time visit to “The Italian Village”. The food is home made and fresh. The specials are very special. The service was above incredible, made me and my family feel taken care of. We sat outside on the back patio under the roof but close to the trellises with all the beautiful greenery overhead. There were few patrons so staff accommodated our request to turn tvs off over the bar. Atmosphere was perfect for a summer evening even the music which was just the right volume to be lively without overpowering conversation. Our server was extremely thoughtful and picked up on every question or need. This is a can’t miss spot, restaurant with Italian market and bakery next door. Don’t forget to keep your receipt for a 25% discount to shop the bakery on your way out. It was getting late and we were interested in gelato from the shop next door so our server ran over, checked the flavors and offered to order our gelato so we could bring it back to finish at the patio! We actually wound up getting some incredible desserts from the specials menu, but vowed to come back for gelato and the bakery on their own at...

Came for the Tuesday night pasta flight. Reservation made- awesome. Front staff accommodating and nice- working hard. Got to a table outside and the atmosphere is great. Beautiful hanging flowers on the pergola.

Had to ask for a drink menu. Ordered salad / food/ bottle of wine...all good. Salad came, we had to ask someone for utensils, half way through we had to ask someone else to see if they can find out what happened to our bottle of wine. Almost finished our salads before our waitress was walking by who we flagged to ask about the wine. Super nice apologetic but was throwing blame elsewhere. Got our wine right before our mains. She apologized again for no more wine buckets- that doesn't matter. Our food came out which got delivered to the wrong table which were then grabbed and brought to us.

So yes would I go back. The food and atmosphere is worth it, but a poor showing of...
