Manager and team were super helpful in helping my grandparents who can’t walk well get into the restaurant and situated. Very welcoming and friendly. Food was spectacular, wide variety of items on menu, and great service. Highly recommend.

I have come here for about two years, always to get my favorite Parma salad for take out. But since they opened the new nice set up next door I was curious about it, so I decide to go dine in instead of doing my usual take out, and I loved it ever since, the fried zucchini is my new favorite, the French Martini is on point, I go almost every week, very friendly staff and always attentive…. this is a very nice spot, congrats and please keep it up

I've gotten takeout from here many times throughout the years and usually really like my salad or panini. Everyone at the front desk is friendly and quick, and the remodeled restaurant looks lovely inside (even though I have not dined in). Spicy turkey salad is A+

We got a warm welcome and seated right away. This place used to be La Bottega. In for quick lunch. And we ordered Chicken Nuzzi panini, Steak panini with mushroom and Broccoli Rabe. Everything came out fresh and hot. Potion is good. My steak was tender but not as flavorful but the cheese and mushroom made up for it. The broccoli Rabe was great compliment to our paninis.

We tried Lamb chops (medium)- 4/5 which was great in portion, nicely served with vegggies and the sauce was tasty. However, 1/2 chops were medium rare which needed a bit more doneness according to our preference. (32$). We also tried a special appetizer dish for two which took 20$ containing 3 different appetizers( baked clams/stuffed mushroom/cucumber cheese wrap) not good portion for price- 3/5. We were.welcomed with welcome bread and butter as well as the drinking water which was on the house. Good experience overall, could be better!
