Our family stopped in randomly on a Saturday night and man am I glad we did. The service was impeccable, the food delicious, and the atmosphere was charming and welcoming. We ordered a few different items but the lobster and crab ravioli was top notch. The bakery is extensive and everything is made in-house. We sat at the bar and everyone was so friendly and upbeat. It was an unexpected delight. We will definitely be back. Especially because the eclairs are divine. Get one and thank me later.

We decided to try the food after a recommendation from a friend. We were given our food and one of our pastas had chicken in it (we would not have ordered chicken, because of an allergy) when we brought this to the attention of the staff, they first- tried to debate that chicken was ordered in the entree (impossible because we have an allergy, but ok) they took the dish and came back with the correct shrimp entree, which seemed to be fairly quick. Now, we realize why. We ended up not eating the dish at the restaurant, so we took it to go. Today, when we went to eat the pasta- it STILL had chicken chunks in it. Meaning, they picked out the chicken and just added in the shrimp. That is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. Especially at that price. Completely careless.

This is true hidden gem. You may have to drive a fair amount to get here, but I think you'll find this bakery/restaurant well worth the effort. If you don't like desserts, then you will still be satisfied by their large portioned sandwiches and meals. If you are a dessert fan, bring a sleeping bag - you're never going to want to leave.

Rigoletto is our splurge for desserts to go. The bakery cases are visually appealing and the atmosphere is relaxed. I absolutely love the black and white cookies. My MIL loves the carrot cake. I tried the Michaelangelo last time and it wasn’t my favorite- I was expecting it to be more flavorful. The associates are patient as we are visually overwhelmed by the lovely presentation. Parking is easy.

Thank you for your response of trying to deflect the bad service back on the customer and that's the excuse! 😁

I was waiting to be served for bakery items to go. Very unorganized front restaurant. I was passed over twice trying to find a to go server to see that I wanted to place an order. I then was asked to be served and I said yes I have been waiting.. a paying by wait staff mumbled with their back to me "You were on the phone" ....... Actually the person on the phone with me was waiting to give me their order to pick it out for them! I made a comment to my server that I do not appreciate being talked AT like that. My server just looked at me and didn't even apologize for her team member, etc.
I do not appreciate a waitstaff making a comment like that to me when I am the one buying something to support your family! Definitely needs front restaurant manager to encourage proper restaurant etiquette if you want to elevate your business or just be another hole in the wall!
