I don't know if I got unlucky because most people seem to love the food here but I got the classic chicken panini & it was the most unflavored sandwhich I've ever had. It smells exactly like the mcjunior from mcdonalds becaue its pretty mich the same ingredients & I believe their sauce was mayonnaise. The sandwich was cold as well.

My coworkers & I come in at least once a month to try the Panini of the Month-& we've even started our own'Parma Club' at work because we enjoy it so much. Huge thanks to the whole team for the consistently great food & friendly service. Special shoutout to Elizabeth, who always takes such good care of our group & makes every visit easy.

Also, our club is very happy (& excited) that you brought back the smashburger on your permanent menu.

For the price these paninis cost, they are definitely NOT worth it - unfortunately the ones I got were dry, tasteless & the ingredients didn't balance together well.
The latte I've ordered was also sadly bad tasting - super bitter & not creamy at all.
The only advantage of this place is the location - being right next to the train station.
We came when there was no one else there, so the service was fast.

Cute place, my first time here. The panini & service was disappointing though. I had the porchetta panini. It was super dry, there was no olive oil or butter on the panini, was just dry porchetta & lettuce & pepper. Was hard to swallow down , that's how dry it was. Porchetta was not at all seasoned. Had to remind them to bring my coffee. Host taking my order was impatient also. Not encouraged to come back.

Excellent paninis & service. Highly recommend the turkey club! Bread is very fresh & avocado aioli is super flavorful. Will definitely come back!

I ordered a panini trio.

Parma Club panini (chicken, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, a bit of pancetta (~bacon)): chicken is dry so more sauce would have been better, but they give a lot of meat so it's an alright trade off.

Fries: seasoned fries with truffle mayo.

Aranciata soda: sweet orange soda, there is just the smallest bit of pulp at the bottom.
