In Short
The quaint Italian coffee shop opened in 1927 and has been serving its famous cappuccino ever since. Interior details like Old World art create an atmosphere that attracts a mix of tourists and dessert-seeking locals. Of course, the cafe's appearance in "Godfather II" and "Shaft" (1971) doesn't hurt its popularity either. The spot's Italian fare includes panini, pastries and spumoni, and those looking for more kick should check out the spiked coffee menu.

This place has been around since the 1920's and is full of antiques so it's a cool place to go. The fact that it's open until 2am weekdays and 4am Fridays and Saturdays makes it even cooler. It's a good Euro cafe...great coffee drinks, fresh juices, and small plates. Drinks are priced a bit high but the food is reasonable. During warm weather months, they set up a cart outside the restaurant for panini on the go. Hint: get one of the Sandwich Platters rather than a panini. Still a grilled sandwich just bigger, on different bread, and comes with sides that the paninis don't come with...all for the same price. Only complaint is the service. Every time I've been there's been battles to get the wait staff's attention.

It's a cute cozy place with seating indoors and outdoors on the street. Inside it's a little crowded and warm, and the chairs are uncomfortable, but the food is good and at a reasonable price. Just make sure you know that you'll be paying $2.75 for a drink and the portions are pretty small.

I love this place - it's really easy to get to from the subway, it's cute & perfect to bring non-ny'ers to, the menu has a million items, the prices are very very reasonable, and the service is good. The food and drinks aren't the best ever, but they're really good for the price.

What to Drink:
Aside from coffee, Reggio's offers Italian soft drinks. Among the offerings are Chinotto (bittersweet), Orzato (almond), and Amarena (wild cherry).
Fun Fact:
Caffe Reggio is the namesake for two songs on Isaac Hayes' Shaft soundtrack. Unfortunately, both titles (Walk From Regio's and Cafe Regio's) misspell the name of the cafe.
