Authentic Italian coffee, delicious fresh sandwiches, & a warm atmosphere. The espresso was excellent, & the Sicilian biscotti is a must-try, perfect with a coffee! Friendly staff, great service, & quality food. Highly recommend!

Google gave the restaurant café a rating of 4.6 stars, & I would want to go check it out. I've never been there before. I had placed an order for green salad & veau cutlets. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the veau's thin slicing & small quantities. I give the veau cutlets 1 star, thus I don't understand why they give it 4.6 stars. The food was overpriced & of poor quality. I'm not recommended to eat there.
