Caffe Buongiorno Mitcham - HAWTHORNDENE

Absolutely delicious food with fast friendly service. Pizza was tasty and the price reasonable. Very accommodation polite staff

This is our local and we have given it a go many times. Each time the service gets a little bit more ordinary and we are let down. We used to come with our kids regularly. Now they are inflexible with kids preferences of spaghetti sauces, the service is quite rude and it has become more of a pre-made fast version. Nothing at all like the Norwood version where service, quality and the aim to please are all top priorities. Such a shame!

I ordered the new pasta on the pasta menu with white sauce, chicken, avocado, mushroom. I was disappointed to see that the plate was mostly pasta with ingredients that were scarce. It was sprinkled with parsley to look presentable. There was almost no avocado to be seen and it was the main reason i ordered the dish. The mushroom was thinly sliced and spread out on the plate and chicken was cut into tiny squares. No parmesan in sight. (Approx $26) Didnt get any bang for my buck, i wouldnt even pay $5 for the meal i ordered. I wouldn't bother coming here again. Your best bet is pasta go go. Quality service. Quality pasta.

Two of us lunched here on a Sunday and although our reservation had been made days in advance, we were ushered to a table for 2 in a pokey little corner where newspapers were strewn on the floor as well in pockets along the wall and a dirty coffee cup and saucer remained from the previous customer. Impossible to enjoy a meal under such circumstances and there were several tables elsewhere which were not showing reserved signs. I politely asked for us to be moved to a more suitable table and the waitress reluctantly complied.My glass of champagne was unceremoniously plonked on the table before me and it was utterly flat, not a bubble in sight. I had to seek a replacement glass. It certainly was not the usual welcoming atmosphere that I expected from past experiences. The only saving grace was that our meals of seafood pizza and a chicken dish were delicious and well presented.

My wife and i came here for a relaxed meal one night. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Huge range of pastas, pizzas and other meal options. Very relaxed cafe atmosphere inside. The gelati is great too. I had a slice of a banana caramel pie/tart after dinner which was nice but was not as rich and full of flavour as i was expecting. I suspect it had been in the window for a few days.
