Caffe Italia is a small, quiet coffee shop that concentrates on Italian methods of preparation. With only half dozen tables, many people take their orders to go, but there are usually seats open for people who want to linger. The hiss of steam from the espresso machines is almost constant, and only the play-by-play from an Italian soccer broadcast might be heard above it. Customers can enjoy biscotti or even gelato with their coffee, and can purchase whole-bean imported Italian varieties to take home. Patience is important for folks from out of the neighborhood, as the staff at this shop definitely considers English its second language.
