    We had a wonderful dinner at Cafe Molise. The polenta appetizer was fantastic. I would have preferred eating on the main level but we were taken to the upstairs. It’s a huge open room with tall ceilings. Just didn’t have comfortable cozy feel that we would have preferred. Other than that it was a great dinner.

    The food and service was INCREDIBLE but the noise was so bad I couldn’t hear anyone at my table talking, and I had requested a quiet table and they sat us next to a very loud party of 10! Was a bit disappointed.

    Nice place, great food. Will definitely eat there again. Only complaint? The tap water had a very very bad taste. Surely something they could improve. Thanks.

    We greatly enjoyed our food and the whole experience. The food was delicious! The bruschetta misto appetizer was tasty and plenty of food for my wife and me. I had the Pollo alla Gratella and greatly enjoyed every bite. My wife had the Ravioli ai Funghi and liked it as well. For dessert we had the chocolate cake. We were too full to eat it there so we took it to go back to the hotel. We were there on a Friday night. We were sat on the second floor. There was a live band (saxophonist and pianist) that played some light jazz. Our waiter was attentive and nice. We were celebrating our 14th anniversary and Caffe Molise made it extra special.
