Cafe Italia Cimarron

They do have great pizza and average pasta. Their tomatoes sauce & meatballs are also blend and really taste average. The service is expedited as the emphasis is always on turning the table rapidly. This is OK if you want to move fast but less than desirable when you want to spend a great romantic night or cool night with friends. So there is definitely room for improvements here.

The service and ambiance were excellent. The pizza was delicious, but I was a bit confused about the appetizer. The menu described toast with goat cheese, prosciutto or salami, pear, honey, and walnuts, but everything was spread all over the plate instead of being on the toast.

We ordered two ribeyes and a calzone for pickup. We asked for medium steaks and they came out medium well when we got home. $130.00 plus for two over cooked steaks. Steaks and vegetables were VERY salty.

1st Jose was able to accomadate our party of 12. It was perfect! Then Fernando, Juan, & Erin gave us excellent service!!!. The food was phenomenal! This was our 1st visit & we had out of town guests. We will definately be returning here. Special shout out to Erin " Luigi" for the special coffee.

I was hesitant to go because of the reviews. I didn't want to be rushed through dinner. But it was a lovely experience. We brought our own wine which made it that much nicer. The corkage fee is only $10! I have to say their pizza is hands down the best in El Paso! Lovely thin crust, sauce that tastes homemade and nice ingredients. My only complaint is the antipasti which is a type of charcuterie board. The amount of ingredients aren't portioned well. Too much prosciutto (which was just ok) the pears were Terribly over ripe, yuck! 4 small olives and 7 pieces (and I do mean pieces) of walnuts and goat cheese. It's a bit hard to divide up the items evenly. But the bread is so incredibly delicious and satisfying that you kinda forget about that. I want to go back and try their desserts. It is pricey but I think it's worth it!

Honestly, I don't see why this place has this much negativity. Went with some family, and we loved it! We walk in, and get the roasted vegetables, which came out instantly and were delicious. Then we ordered fettuccine Alfredo, pepperoni, pizza, and a margarita pizza. All three were very good. The service was incredible, very nice people. It was really nice and clean in there. I will definitely be coming back!

Despite reviews, the owner was extremely kind and attentive to us. The service is also great. The staff is very attentive and is always checking in on you. Some may take this as being rushed but they asked if we were ready to order we said no and they said take your time. I think this place deserves better reviews. Please come and see for yourself. Fresh ingredients and the best pizza you'll find in west Texas

Recommend ordering to-go or opting for the Mesa location for dining-in. While the food is pretty decent, the restaurant's policy requiring customers to pay/leave within 10-15 minutes after eating just makes this place a 'pass' as a neighborhood favorite.I've dined-in at this location twice, and was disappointed with the customer service both times. The first experience resulted in multiple servers coming to the table every 2-5 minutes to ask if we needed anything else. Normally this would indicate exceptional service and attention to the customer, but we got the feeling they were pushing us to leave. Second visit I was shocked to see an actual sign notifying all customers about their customer policy on leaving after eating. I took a picture of the sign just to show friends, family, and colleagues as this is a bold move in any industry-more so in the competitive El Paso restaurant market. Unfortunately, the pic was lost after damage to my phone.Restaurant owners beware: market analysis from 2023 show inflation outpaced groceries so consumers are going out less and leery about trying new places. However they are willing to spend more $ at the restaurants they do frequent. This mostly impacts mid level restaurants. So unless El Paso is an anomaly, restaurants would do well to assess similar customer service policies.Needless to say, this is NOT a good go-to for me in this neighborhood. But if in a pinch-I may decide to order to-go, or better yet travel to the Mesa location instead for a more positive dining experience.

Pasta, wine and Nutella calzone were always our favorite here, but the oven cooked ribeye just took this place to another level. Perfectly cooked with a crispy outside that preserved the natural juices inside the steak.

The food, service and ambiance is great. Everything is well seasoned and as close to authentic as you can get here in El Paso. It is also great that it is a bring your own wine place so you aren't being charged huge markups. Go and enjoy.
