More About

The tastes here are old ones, classics that have survived every fad and Next Big Thing to come roaring through the restaurant scene over the past hundred years. They're tastes with history, flavors that come out of generations of love for food and of understanding how people want to eat when they're just having dinner and not going out to dine.

Cafe Jordano is the kind of place you're sad to leave, because coming here always feels like visiting family, and leaving feels like having to say goodbye. It's the kind of place you want to go back to fifteen minutes after you've left -- gladly braving the crowds again -- just to try something new that you might have missed on your first, fifth or fiftieth time through the menu. But even if you haven't missed anything, that same perfect cup of soup, that burst of Italian from the kitchen, that smell of browning garlic in the air, will always make eating here a pure pleasure.
