I don’t know if there are enough stars for this place. We went for our anniversary and couldn’t have had a better experience. The luscious food, heavenly cocktails, and the friendly/helpful service made for an excellent experience. We will be back!

The service and staff were great, some of the food was wonderful, some embarrassingly wrong. The pizza and risotto appetizer- fabulous, the pasta ok but all sauces were lacking a touch of acid (lemon or reduction) and needed garnish for texture and flavor boost, the Caesar is were it went very wrong- mayo dressing, literally mayo, no garlic, anchovy or lemon. Absolutely not a Caesar. For the price I think adding in more as I mentioned is warranted. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and will give them another chance.
Amazing for and great cocktails. Only feedback was kind of a small and a little loud dining space but that's probably just because it's a good place that is popular.

Incredible Italian! 10/10 across the board. Even in the cold winter their heated extra seating area was cozy with a great atmosphere. I can’t stop thinking about everything we ate - especially their tiramisu!

The best food in Eugene-from the Fritto Misto appetizer to the Tiramisu finish, accompanied by fine Italian rose' wine! Service by Crystal was wonderful! All in all a memorable experience.

This place definitely lived up to all the good things I heard about it. This will be one of my new favorites. Also one of the best expresso martini I’ve had. And you must try the cream puff dessert ?

Because of the crowded seating I was overwhelmed by the perfume worn by the woman next to me. She must have spilled the bottle before entering the restaurant. I could actually taste the perfume in addition to smelling it. It ruined the flavor of my food. The food was good. My sauted chard was outstanding and the chicken piccata good. The only disappointment was the amount of salt in the food, which gave me a 2 pound weight gain the following morning. The noise level was high, possibly because the restaurant's sound system has an overwhelming bass. If they have an equalizer they should tune down the bass. It sounded like a teenager's car.

So delicious. I will definitely go back. Price is comparable to any of the other nice Italian restaurants in town but the food is so much better
Cafe Med was a surprise. Literally. I did not know I was heading here for dinner and did not know what to expect. The service was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and on top of things.The food (forgot to take pictures) was good. I had the special - tortellini filled with parmesan, topped with prosciutto and a nice creamy sauce. It was good. Though it was luke warm at best. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way due to cream sauces being so finicky with heat. My biggest complaint is the portion size vs the price tag. I don't mind paying for a high quality meal, but I typically don't expect to leave hungry either. I was quite disappointed that we had to go find food afterwards because we were both still hungry. I didn't think what we got warranted the price tag when compared to other nice restaurants.The place itself is quite nice. I would give the atmosphere more than 4 stars if it hadn't been for the bright neon signs of the dispensary right outside. Perhaps closing some curtains would make it a bit better. Inside was quant and friendly. I enjoyed it.Parking seems a bit limited here, but then again seating inside is pretty limited as well. Overall I enjoyed the dinner we had.

Café Med was the perfect date night for us. Atmosphere is romantic, cozy and warm. The food was interesting and delicious and Rosella & Toby are some of the sweetest people in town. We loved the special touches and wish we could try everything at once. Definitely will have to go back.

This was our fifth visit to Cafe Med, and we have been delighted every time. The food is the best in the Eugene/Springfield area coupled with a casual atmosphere. The waiters are attentive, and the owners make you feel most welcome. Valentine's Day was made special with a rose for my sweetheart and Italian chocolates for afters. However, do not pass on the desserts. They are scrumptious. This is now our go to restaurant for special events or just an evening of delicious food. Thanks Toby & Rosella.

Cafe Med is a gem! Servers and staff are extremely friendly and they go above and beyond! The food is also second to none! I've had the best pasta in my life at Cafe Med. I cannot recommend this place enough!
