We only had coffee and pancakes in their but went several times. The pancakes were a dream and it was the only decent coffee we had.

I have been there thrice and all the time I enjoyed the food at the best. An awesome place to have food, at the cliff and a beautiful view of the sea makes it my favorite.

We came by Caffè Italiano on our first morning from our hotel and have returned several times for breakfast of freshly squeezed pineapple juice, fresh baked toast with butter and jam, tomato omelette and a cup of tea, and all for 100 rupees. Stunning views over the cliff top to the sea. Service not too bad, either!

Kerala coffee is excellent, but when you want a change of pace and a world class expresso or cappuchino, this is the place to go on the cliff.

The atmosphere at caffe Italiano was quite nice, my fist impressions were good. The food, however, was terrible. My girlfriend and I ordered pepperoni pizza and pasta. The pizza was bland as bread and the pasta was nothing more than noodles and tomatoes. Nothing had any spices or flavoring in it. We ended up having to add a ton of... More

We stayed in Varkala for 5 days and tried several places for dinner so this was a clear winner. Best kitchen (quality products like best tomatos and real expertise: we took the same fish in other places and the difference in taste was huge), personal attention (ask Sanal the waiter and he will remember your preferences), nice seaview and cozy...
