Always a great time at Cafe Pro Bono. Owner Akif makes us feel like family, welcoming guests with hugs and enthusiasm. Food is consistently delicious Italian cuisine. The grilled chicken is amazing!! Service is attentive but not intrusive. I highly recommend Cafe Pro Bono for a celebratory lunch, an intimate dinner with friends, or a date night.

Hadn’t been here in years…it was just as great as before. They didn’t rush us since we wanted to visit with our friends. Food, service and ambience all great. They were surprisingly quite busy fir a Monday evening!

The mother's day experience was perfect. Just what we were looking for. Outdoor dining with awesome ambiance and a live jazz trio whom were amazing. The servers were very gracious and able to accommodate our needs and comfort moving shades for us to make sure our comfort was just right. The spread was equally impressive as well and had a good variety of things. Our experience at the restaurant definitely has us wanting to come back again to try the restaurant on it's regular menu since this was our first time here for the special mother's day event. We will be back. Thanks for putting the special event on as it felt special for our family.
