Esmer Cafe - Taksimo

Rating: 5/5 <br/ One of the best restaurants in Taksim area. Small and cozy place, delicious food tasty and fresh ingredients. Quick service and affordable prices. <br/ <br/ Place is highly recommended.

Catchy restaurant in Taksim Square where a live cooking pasta station makes you drool. <br/ <br/ This place is a gem serving tasty international dishes with good portion and quality vs price. The service is exquisite. High five to Mohammad for the best service during my multiple visits. Pasta, Burgers, Pizzas, Chicken, Meat you name it.<br/ <br/ Rating:A <br/ Definitely do not miss it in Taksim.<br/

Loved this place! Right in the heart of Istiklal street, was surprised by the quality of food for such a location. Tried the Jalapeno poppers, Kebap pizza, tagliatelle con pollo (my fav) and the chicken noodles. So tasty and authentic, go there for a quick nice lunch or dinner!

What a wonderful experience. I visited this restaurant 3 times during my 4 day stay in Istanbul, and I might have visited it more had I discovered it earlier! <br/ <br/ It was tough to find somewhere that suited my taste in Istanbul, but this restaurant was our lucky discovery. <br/ <br/ We tried the fettuccine con pollo pasta, the Capricciosa pizza, Caesar pizza and chicken panzerotti. The mix of taste that we had is indescribable. The food was unbelievably good. The presentation was excellent, everything arrived hot and fresh within 10-15 minutes despite the place being super crowded during the weekend. <br/ <br/ I recommend this restaurant for everyone going to Taksim! <br/ <br/ Thank you for the wonderful experience and for being our go-to restaurant away from home!

Never enjoyed Italian food as much as this ever before. Spent 5 days in Taksim and ate at this place 3 times which is considerably a lot when you’re going to try new places.<br/ They are very organized and have a very consistent taste that dazzles your senses.<br/ When you’re there, don’t miss this place.<br/ #thinkaboutit
