About Caffe Italia
Caffe Italia is a cafe and wine bar in Banstead at 49 High St, with occasional live music and space that can be hired for celebrations. The kitchen serves breakfast and lunch, with paninis at midday and a menu that includes a burger and fries and a salad with halloumi. Italian mains are added for dinner. Coffee and other hot drinks sit alongside the light meals, and a Bailey's hot chocolate deluxe is offered at Christmas. Visitors can bring their dogs.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the most frequent draw, with several reviewers calling it great and describing the place as somewhere for a chat with friends, a light meal, or a stop while shopping on the high street. Friendly staff and a lovely lunch come up repeatedly, one reviewer calls a hot chocolate deluxe a must have at Christmas, and another praises it as a venue for a celebration. Drinks earn praise even in a mixed review, though that reviewer found the music too loud and the air conditioning too cold. The main complaints concern food and pace. A group of six at breakfast describes plates arriving in stages, one order forgotten, and bacon that was fatty and undercooked. Another family found service slow and stood waiting to pay. Two separate reviews report a tuna sandwich, a burger and fries, and a salad arriving dry without sauce or dressing, the salad being lettuce topped with three pieces of halloumi.

“Staff were friendly, but the music was too loud, too noisy, very hard to talk, also they had the air conditioning on, too cold, and too many people, the drinks were great.”
