John AlagnaJanuary 23, 2015Wow we agree this is one the finest restaurants we have ever eaten at!!!👍 try the gnocchi - pillows from heaven!! Ask for Alendria she is the fiancé of the chef.Upvoted Mar 11
haveAwonderful...October 2, 2011Great location+food+happy hr+staff+patio seating! All these greats, make Cafe Boa an ideal place for singles or dates. If single, go during happy hr & sit at bar or long table (for maximum exposure).
Brendon BiegelMarch 29, 2012Awesome Place for brunch on the weekends, having fresh food makes all the difference. Its one of the few places I've had an eggs benedict I liked. That and the Mediterranean omelette are awesome.- Phoenix New TimesFebruary 25, 2014The Rojac Family Winery and and Emil Tavčar, both certified organic winemakers, will be @ Caffe Boat on Feb. 26 from 5:30-7:30pm to sample wines.

Reduced priced appetizers and small bites, 1/2 off all glasses of wine ($10 or less), $2 off all premium drafts, $2 off premium draft wines.- We had the Voodoo Penne and Fettuccine Saltimboca w Sweet Breads. Pasta was fresh and fantastic. Don't load up on the fries. Although they were really good. Pumkin Spice Macaroons were a nice bite.
Jen SnyderJune 28, 2011The food is delicious, the wine list is wonderful and the service is great. One complaint: I went in June and it was way too hot inside, 87 degrees!- Anthony GarciaOctober 3, 2011Everything was awesome, agnolotti boa is one of my favorite all time dishes. Service was excellent as well. Will def be back soon.
Liz LemonApril 3, 2011Expensive, but definitely worth it. The menu changes often, usually when they get a new specialty chef in so there's always a fantastic variety of options.
Charles DavisJanuary 1, 2014Excellent wine (Malbec). The Pinot was ok. Not Boa's fault, just my faulty pairing choice. Happy new year and bring on the spicy
The staff are awesome along with the food. Great beer and wine selection.
Tessa MalayanAugust 12, 2014Their cheese and charcuterie platters are a must. Our waiter was very helpful and informative on all the dishes.- Phoenix New TimesNovember 12, 20102010 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Fried Chicken! Classic, all-American favorite made better. Payt-N-Bake Fried Chicken even has a secret weapon for extra crispiness: duck fat! Read more

Leah StarrSeptember 15, 2010An intimate, rustic, exposed brick type-perfect for dates. The menu has seasonal specialties. try the Toasted Gnocchi with browned butter and fried egg.
Nadia ThinksApril 26, 2012Caprese is AMAZING. Definitely a great snack in terms of size though--be sure you're in the mood for something light.
Amanda DurhamMarch 3, 2013All the food was amazing which made up for the bad service. Seriously the food was amazing!
Dai RobertsNovember 17, 2013Good sangria so far so great. A bottle of wine later we shall see. They do look after you here
Guy CarpenterJuly 19, 2013They have great happy hour specials and the decor is great. Good crowd and attentive servers.
The new menu is pretty much amazing. Had the fettucine with sweetbreads and sage cream and it went perfectly with the "bloodstone" australian shiraz.- Tempe TourismFebruary 14, 2011Grab a group of friends and go on a Sunday when it’s nice out so you can take advantage of the half-price pitchers of Sangria!
- MichaelMarch 30, 2013Try the Pink Peppercorn Meringue With Wine Soaked Strawberries - The Finish Line!
Kathryne NunleyFebruary 22, 2011Good fresh, local food, creative dishes. Shrimp Diablo is fantastic, but service...way slow. We were there on a Friday night, though.
Tom ManningMarch 6, 2017Avoid the lasagna. It was poorly reheated in a microwave and came out with cold spots throughout.
Justin CouvillionNovember 9, 2011Don't get the pici. It's so hot it completely destroys your palette.
Marc Fernandez ♊February 20, 2011This place is horrible! The waitstaff and manager were so bad. The food and menu was unexpectedly terrible! Took us 2hrs to get dinner! An 1hr just to get our wine! To top it they added 20% gratuity

"Very upscale for Mill. I suggest you get the smoked prosciutto, fig, mascarpone, truffle oil, the goat cheese and pear salad, and the bocca trio pizza. Great for sharing and not too expensive."
