They have the best bread for sandwiches. Great simple sandwiches that always taste fresh. Pasta is good too. Staff is always friendly.

I stopped here because it was listed as a "brunch spot" when googled. The interior was cute but kind of lackluster. Ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, chicken was definitely processed. Also had a strawberry smoothie.... It was chunks of ice & basically strawberry flavored water. The service was good... I will give them an A for effort

I found this place awhile ago, a woman in my town makes amazing homemade cheesecakes and recently started selling them here. Checked out the shop on Yelp and the food also looked very delicious and was on a mission to try this place out the next time I was in Hackensack. I would consider this place a gourmet Italian coffee shop. Sounds weird but it is just beyond amazing. They have pasta there for sale that I believe is imported from Italy which I decided to take home a bag for myself. They also have Italian beverages and jars of marinated vegetables they sell. I tried it out for the first time yesterday, I went in wanting this pasta and the owner was working, he told me he only does pasta specials on Wednesday but offered to whip me up something if that's what I wanted which I thought was really nice of him to offer! I didn't want him to go through all that just for one dish so I decided to try the chicken Parmesan and my husband ordered a chicken cutlet. The bread was SO FRESH and the sauce was made to perfection, I was amazed at every bite I took. I also tried my husbands chicken cutlet and it was also outstanding. We finished our meals and then decided to have some of that homemade cheesecake (which I already knew would be delicious) and some coffee. The owner was very genuine and kind and we enjoyed talking to him. Great service great food. Easily 5 star worthy and I already can not wait to return.
Went there with a friend after she suggested it has the authentic Italian food. And truly amazed with everything there, the food, the vibe everytjing were great. For food, we ordered charcuterie board, pickled vegetables, gnocchi pasta, vegetable pinsa, Tiramisu, pandoro, and last but not the list espresso coffee. Everything is delicious, definitely going back again.

The guy behind the counter is pretty funny with great people skills.The man behind the guy, behind the counter is an even better host to his patrons. Definitely recommend for an authentic Italian bite. You will be surprised by their level of service.

I was in the area and looking for a local cafe to get breakfast and get some work done. Found this place in Google and saw the reviews so I checked it out. It's a cozy, family owned, Italian cafe that serves fresh expreso style coffee , sandwiches, pastries, etc. I really enjoyed their paninis and the coffee is excellent. There's WiFi and outlets available for those need to do some work on a laptop. A definite recommend over any chain coffee shops ?. Must go.

Buon cibo, cappuccino e compagnia. Its a small coffee shop with very healthy and fresh food. Had a lunch special, half sandwich and half soup. I only took a picture of my Cappuccino and cookie but everything was good. The owners, Domenico and il suo figlio Marco were lovely too! Will have to come back for the imported pasta from Italy…Served Wednesday or Friday/Saturday night. You can buy the imported uncooked pasta as well.
Excellent panini and beautiful crepes
