2006-09-15 11:36:01   Piping-hot lasagna special - $7.50 - is comfort food on a cold day as well as an escape from workaday lunch fare. Stuffed peppers (they said plural) arrived singular (portion too small unless dieting) and could've used more seasoning, but it wasn't nothing that couldn't be saved with extra cheese, as we unsophisticated eaters like to say. Desserts: choco mousse is smooth and airy, while the almond-raisin lemon tart pleases the fruity-sweet tooth. If not crowded, the space feels comfortable esp. when nursing coffee with Billie Holiday in the background. Specialty foods and branded products add up to enough of an identity. All around, should be a viable business. —ChristineLeo

My garden salad was excellent with a bounty of fresh veggies and cubes of fresh mozzarella on top. The paninis are thin and crisp with just the right gooeyness inside. Save room for a selection from the dessert case! —EllenKelsey

I had a bowl of chicken cacciatore soup which was well thought out, along with a spinach salad, which was plain but well executed. My companion had a stuffed pepper, which she found a little underwhelming. They had an interesting selection of italian drinks. On our waiter's recommendation I tried a chinotto (an italian soda), and it was tasty and interesting. Our waiter was helpful and friendly, and was obviously enthusiastic about the food he was serving. I always appreciate that. I will most likely be back —EastSideStephen

The interior has been beautifully restored from the old bakery that was there (if anyone remembers that place...) and the service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back! —RochesterGuy

My friend and I got sandwiches which were pretty bland but our other friend lucked out and got the lasagna which looked mighty good... They had some tempting desserts in the case but after the terrible sandwiches I wasn't up for trying them out. —JaimeTe

The first time I ate here the food was horrid.

The second time I got food poisoning.

Nuff said. —SteveVogt

2008-04-26 14:32:01   I really enjoyed this meal. I had a Ceci salad, the special pizza that night (prosciutto and marinated tomatoes with mozzarella) and shared a slice of chocolate raspberry cake. Portions are the perfect size for me— nice and light, but still satisfying. Service was wonderful as well. —RoryGordon

They have some cool seating options on the right as you walk in. I am definitely going to try this place for lunch or dinner some time. —BadFish
