Another repeat visit from us and were not disappointed. The meatball panini and buffalo bowl were delicious. The white chocolate cheesecake was out of this world, it should be permanent not a special! Will be back again soon.

I hadn't planned to eat here but I ducked in out of the pouring rain for a quick meal.Caffe Atina's location is certainly not chic Chester but the meal was excellent value for money,including a very nice Chardonnay.The manager, a Scottish lady, was friendliness personified .This is a restaurant which would really suit anyone with good taste but a low...

Dined at Cafe Atina twice this month and loved, loved, loved it. When you first step in you think it may be a little coffee shop but looks can be so deceiving. The menu is quite continental. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Really loved the variety of items on the menu. Looking forward to stopping in again when... More

After walking for some time on what appeared to be the main drag in Chester, only seeing cheesy bars, pubs and clubs, it was a relief to see Caffe Atina. Had the chicken Caesar wrap, tomato bisque, and quiche. The presentation was artful, food was very flavorful and fresh. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is charming, definitely an... More

Visited for lunch after reading reviews in TA. Coffee was weak, quiche was cold, portions were meagre, and staff preoccupied chatting on the phone. I like to support the small independent places, but they have to raise their game if they want to succeed. Staff need to remember that it's the customers who pay their wages - not their friends...

Found this little place by accident last year when visiting Chester and liked it so much I returned last weekend whilst visiting again. Its only small and just out of the old central part of Chester at the bottom of the high street, but is well worth a visit. Good honest, well priced food, served by "happy" staff in clean... More

Had a couple of evening meals here during our 3 day stay. Made use of an offer on the Friday and liked it so much we went back Saturday. More in the shopping area of Chester than the evening out area but food was good and so was the service. Particularly recommend the Toffee Pudding.
