The Salmon sandwich is ART!! The prochutto one is pretty good too, but salmon is best! The coffee was average, I ordered a latte & it was definitely not a latte, more like a cappuccino. The stuff members could use a little training on the coffee making from European bartenders. The decor is great, however there is no much space to seat & it gets crowded & noisy very easily. Otherwise a good spot to seat, chat & have a sandwich!
The steak panini is delicious! I highly recommend trying it, the bread is crispy, the meat is tender, it's flavourful & easy to bite down. All around fantastic sandwich. On the other hand, it should be illegal to charge 5.75$ for a 14oz latte made with an automatic espresso machine. The price of latte is justified by the craft, care & intention put into the cup. This coffee was not it at all.

Beautiful little café with incredible sandwiches & very decent prices. The arancini is to die for!! Their coffee drinks are truly authentic Italian. If you're looking to quickly satisfy a growling stomach, this place is for you. Cozy, warm, delicious & artistic!
It's a nice cozy & tiny place to gather with your friends with good food & coffee My smoked salmon sandwich was so good as well as the double espresso coffee. I ordered a small cannoli & pasteis De natal but the cannoli was smaller than I expected. The Portuguese dessert was quite well. Overall, the service & food are great & recommend it.
A nice little place but I think understaffed though friendly & welcoming. I liked it & my sandwich was amazing coffee so-so but the young lady there was all alone so she rings up the order & has to also make the coffee. No easy task but it was nice & I enjoyed it. I would go back.
