LOVED IT HERE! Truly authentic Italian cooking, with authentic ingredients to purchase. The staff was so friendly and accomodating on their menu. We had to make a slight change in order for a vegetarian, and they had no issues. We tried their breakfast sandwiches & lunch sandwiches, and each bite was jam packed with substance & flavor (I mean, just look at the layers in my photo.) Fresh ingredients, and an overall quaint/bright spot. This would be an awesome place to post up and get some work done, do some people watching, and enjoy delicious food. Not to mention, their baked goods looked out of this world. We wanted to get so much, but I landed on their passion fruit donut, partly because it was the last one left (so I figured something must be good!) And let me tell you, their dough is different. The donut was dense & fluffy at the same time, and their passion fruit flavor was y-u-m-m-y. I can't wait to go back to try more sandwiches and get some grocery shopping done!

Have been here several times since this opened and have tried coffee, tea, and croissants. All EXCELLENT and I must say as a self-proclaimed croissant connoisseur, these are the best croissants I've ever eaten. No matter which croissant you choose, you can't go wrong. The perfect balance of flaky and crispy on the outside and chewy (but not TOO chewy) on the inside. Today, I ventured over to where they have all the imported Italian chocolate bars and tried the one with pistachios. Another excellent choice. Totally worth the ten bucks. Overall, this place uses and sells quality products. Most, if not all, are made in Italy. There are about 3 or 4 little tables inside (for 2 people), which you could just pull closer together for a party of 3 or more. I didn't notice if they were there on this cold day but when warmer, there are definitely small tables outside as well. My boyfriend told me to add a that there is no bathroom in here for customer use. Good to know. This place does NOT lose points for that in my book!

Service and hospitality is amazing. On top of that the food is absolutely amazing, best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. I highly recommend the Romano Breakfast Sandwich with your recommended toppings, I typically add tomatoes and arugula.

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Delicious sandwiches, soups, coffees, salads, pastas, gelatos, and more in an unassuming space in a great location. There's also a small area for Italian specialty goods, if you can believe it. Most folks, during the lunch hour I was there, were grabbing sandwiches to-go, though they do have a small seating area should you decide to enjoy your breakfast or lunch inside. I went with the Vegetariana sandwich and tried a bite of my boyfriend's choice, the Bottega sandwich. Both were cheesy and balanced, not over the top, and served on incredible/soft italian bread. That bread + fresh ingredients = sandwich heaven. I am dying to get back and try something off their breakfast menu (only served until 11am), which includes the classics and some Italian inspired takes as well. Staff is friendly and helpful, and everything was ready in a timely fashion. This will be a regular stop for me in the neighborhood and I highly recommend stopping over for a sandwich!

Stopped in and had a sandwich and cookie here. Very well put together sandwich with high quality, fresh ingredients. Choco chip cookie straightforward and tasty. I'll have to try something else next time. Definitely no corners cut here, worth the price for sure. Great spot to stop in for breakfast or lunch, or for one of their many bakery treats. Great people inside. Thanks

Such a hidden gem, the pesto breakfast sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've had in the city. Perfect place to grab a cappuccino or pastry and tons of authentic food. Staff is incredibly friendly and ambiance is comforting

Great ambiance, they have pastries, great lunch options like soup and sandwiches. They sell some dried goods and the coffee is perfection! Everyone is super sweet and helpful. Great place

Cute cozy spot for coffee and pastries with reasonable prices, but nothing in particular to write home about. Be aware that it does not have a public restroom even if you are a customer (I'm not detracting any points for this)
