We were sad to hear that Sam is closing this restaurant at the end of this month to retire! It has been our go-to place to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions. Good by, Columbini, we enjoyed you for years!

We enjoyed our visit to Colombini Italian Cafe. We arrived 2 ours before we were supposed to, and were graciously seated. The restaurant is very small, but we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Service was efficient and they let us enjoy our meals. We shared a delicious caesar salad to start. For entrees, I had a puttenesca pasta and my husband the lasagne. The food was good, but didn't blow us away. 4 out of 5 stars because for basic pasta the price felt high. Nice, quite place to have an intimate meal.

The food was excellent here. It was a small and cozy place that had great ambience- minus the Santacon drunkies that were slightly loud behind us. Lol. My daughter’s pasta pomodoro was silky and perfect, my husband’s cioppino was plentiful with lots of fresh seafood, and my pork tenderloin was probably the best I’ve had in years. Thanks so much to Colombini for honoring our 6pm reservation after showed up late as a result of extraordinary bridge traffic. Will definitely recommend.

Cozy small restaurant walking distance to the Masonic Auditorium. We were a party of 4 and ordered different meals which we shared. Every meal was delicious! We will definitely return! If OpenTable limits the number of guests, call the restaurant and Ray the owner will do his best to accommodate your request.

This was a neighborhood find and we're not from this neighborhood or city. Food was good, portions generous, service warm and attentive. It's an informal, unpretentious place similar to neighborhood spots in Italy. Be sure and order the housemade fresh pasta as we did.
