The food I had was very good but a bit small especially for the price. The waiters were almost too efficient at taking away stuff once we were done and didn't check if we were actually finished first although they were nice. The place is very small and so we were near the loud machines in the kitchen but the place was very nicely designed with classic looking Italian windows and our table was even an old sewing table!
Early Saturday morning managed to beat the Henley-on-Thames usual crowds. Freshly made breakfast roll & this really hit the spot. Support local, folks! I need to try the Calzones next.
We visited recently with 3 children for an evening meal. The food and service were outstanding, and prices a lot cheaper than the local chain restaurants. We'll definitely be back when we're next in the area.
Thank you to Alicja, Nestor and team for our many lovely lunches and suppers. We wish you a very happy retirement and hope to see you again soon.
The best cafe to go for food in miles! A week doesn't go by that we don't have at least one meal here - incredible staff, great food, amazing atmosphere. The owners are so friendly. Worth a lot more than 5 stars!!!
Just had the grande breakfast which was very tasty, service always good, my only gripe is that on your website your menu shows 6.95 for a grande breakfast but it was in fact £9.95,which is does show on your in house menu, I would suggest you update your website prices, this is not a complaint just an observation
Saturday lunchtime. Seated us at once. Great authentic food, fresh & arrived quickly. Really Fantastic service. Very attentive staff, think our waitress was called Octavia, sorry if thats wrong, she was friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely ambience. Highly recommend. Will be going back!
Calzone to die for, it was unsealed as you can see from the picture so that it looked to be exploding out which was brilliant. Definitely the best calzone i've ever had, my dad had the pizza and was slightly less impressed so I'd recommend the calzone or pasta for sure. A very cozy restaurant which you'll love as it feels very authentic.
Myself, family & friends have used cafe buendia for many years when visiting HRR and Henley masters. It always hits the spot in terms of service, food, and lovely friendly staff.
You could easily miss the tiny frontage of what looks like the rather good deli on Bell St Henley. Tucked behind the front counter is an equally tiny restaurant, but oh boy this is the real taste of Italy. Friendly service, a limited pasta and Pizza menu, but dishes to die for I had calzone, the best I've ever had outside Italy. 4 of us dined a different dish and each, but the same response superb.
