Thank you all great memories but the Yankees are calling me home
Welcome to Contemplating Life Cafe where there are no stangers only friends you haven't met yet.
Relax and enjoy.
At Clife Cafe our motto is "Good Food Takes Time" We try to cook everything to order, so if you are in a hurry, please let us know and we will try to expedite your order. If not, sit back grab a deck of cards, a game or puzzle book, Trivia Pursuit, a newspaper or log on to our free Internet.
More affordable than you think.
Our food prices are as low as we can possibly be in order to serve all our community. We strive on creating new and exciting recipes as well as offering local favorites such as chicken & biscuits starting at $5.95.
Michael Mancino had a dream 10 years ago to carry on his mother's legacy of good Italian food. Rita Carvy operated a restaurant out of the same location for 14 years prior serving up her famous chicken & biscuits, Sausage & biscuits, and other favorite dishes the Rutland County community had enjoyed for so many years. As soon as Michael decided to reopen as a restaurant, he went looking for Rita to be his morning Chef.
Together, they combine for a 4 days a week culinary experience which you will go home happy and wonder why they only do it four days a week. Michael's first restaurant "Tutti Vous" in Montclair NJ closed after Hurricane Irene decimated his property in Vermont. After a 3 year hiatus he reopened the building and Contemplating Life Cafe was born.
Beyond our doors are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet...
