Cafeteria like in Italy 😍. Once I visited this place & there was soup, it was delicious, I've been there other times & I haven't found the soup 😔. I also tried the paninis which were very good & finally the coffee 👌🏼. The coffee here is very good. Customer service always good 👏🏻.

Vintage Italian Cafe with excellent coffee & sandwiches Enjoyed a Mixed Cold Cut Sandwich on a Panini today which was excellent! My wife had the Capicolli & Mortadella Sandwich. Sandwiches come with marinated mushrooms, Provolone Cheese, Lettuce, & Tomato. Can also have hot peppers added if you like. Excellent Service.

Non pretentious café with a great atmosphere. Such good vibes. I feel a safety that only a child suckling on his mother's breast might experience.

Excellent service, very kind staff/owner who went above & beyond for us. Place is super clean while also being *so* nostalgic. It's like someone's nonna's basement in the best way possible. The place was FULL of middle-aged Italians acting like they were in someone's living room. Busy but not at all uncomfortable. 10/10 what a unique & authentic place
