Editorial Review for Caffe Molise – by Helen Hodgson
The Scene
The fountain in Dinwoody Plaza sounds like a babbling brook, making outdoor dining the choice for warm days. Inside, business associates and couples converge on this downtown spot for authentic Italian food in comfortable surroundings.
The Food
Sauces are secret family recipes; dishes, simply and tastefully prepared and presented. At lunch, pair the bruschetta and herbed white bean puree with a classic Mediterranean salad for a light and satisfying meal. Or try a spicy Italian sausage sandwich, served with roasted peppers and provolone on freshly made herbed focaccia. For a heartier lunch or dinner, the creamy polenta stands out, as do the varied pastas--from meat sauces to imaginative combinations of tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs. Don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. It's made on the premises and is irresistible.

While the patio is very nice, that is about it. I have tried the restaurant serveral times (hoping it would improve) but have never been impressed with anything except the patio! The food and service is VERY inconsistent! I have had good and terrible servers (who no nothing about the the food or wine they are serving!) If you can catch the restaurant on a slow night the food is ok, (but always over priced) and you could probably get a better meal at the Olive Garden than you could on a busy night at Caffe Molise. If you don't care, and no nothing about food the patio is very pretty and you might enjoy yourself, however if not, steer clear.
Pros: patio
Cons: everything else

I can't relate to the negative reviews on this place. I have never have a bad meal here. I have been coming for more than five years. Parking can be tricky if you demand close and free- if you are a little more reasonable then you will plan accordingly to avoid disappointment. Come on, it's the city! Take trax! We love the specials and also the gnochi. But the Sunday Brunches are to die for! I am scared to mention it because it feels like our little secret and we never have to wait to get in Sunday morning. Eggs benedict, proper breakfast sandwiches, and mimosas!
