    This bagel place is awesome! So many options from bagels to sandwiches to muffins. We went on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. Staff were friendly. Definitely recommend!

    Really nice and cozy place. I didn't know it was cash only and I had already ordered I did have some cash but I was actually short a few cents, I was so embarrassed! The owner was so nice and told me not to worry about it. Everything was made to order and was wicked fresh! I super appreciate them helping me out. Deff recommend!

    Avocado, American cheese, tomato, and red onion... YUM

    Awesome bagels! They are on the smaller side but packed with a punch. So many good flavors to choose from. Only downside is it's cash only!

    Aside from their ridiculously prices bagel sandwiches ($6.75 for a Bacon Bagel and that doesn't come with a drink). The place is cute. It's a serve it yourself iced coffee place; I've never been to a place like that but it's a neat idea. Kind of a do-it-yourself service... When I was there the guy at the counter seemed like a rude cashier, but it was actually the customer who was rude. The cashier was just trying to resolve the situation and he handled it very professionally. He was friendly and he even assisted on refilling the creams. I'd come back here for the coffee, but not for the over-priced bagel sandwiches.

    Possibly the worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life!…read more Ordered two 18" pizzas via GrubHub, a sausage & ricotta, and a pepperoni. The former was a swimming pool of liquid on top, and wasn't even sliced. Unsliced pizza? Maybe they were worried all that liquid would destroy the box if they sliced it? The crust of the second one was actually soggy. Floppy pizza is a thing, but it shouldn't disintegrate! Also, the cheese over-cooked so that the oil separated, and the pizza was extremely salty. Combine that with the GrubHub (or store's?) driver just dropping the pizzas in my neighbor's driveway, and a photo of the location didn't show up for some time in the app, so I had to wander around randomly looking for my pizzas in my pajamas. Ate a few slices, but threw the rest in the garbage. Basically inedible. Never again!

    Had high hopes for this place, but sadly the prosciutto Paradisio fell flat. The prosciutto was…read morereally stringy and chewy and lacked tomato and mozzarella. The balsamic was tasty, but the amount was too small. I wish the bread was something more special than just a sub roll. They do have a really good deal on Monday for a buy one get one meatball sub. Husby said the meatballs were really delicious & tender. He's a fan of the sub roll. They were out of the lasagna, which I really wanted to try so I'll have to come back again and give it another go. The pizza & mozz sticks looks good as well.

    ""Meet me at the deli, meet me at the bar."…read more(The Strokes) Gianni's is a family-owned deli and pizzeria on Highland Street in the heart of Needham's busy Central Business District. They don't occupy a particularly large space -it's dominated by an ordering station with a big menu board over it, and a small showcase for their highly rated pizzas. Why "highly rated"? Well, they scored a 7.9 rating on Barstool sports, just a scant .1 of a point from their 8.0's description of "exceptional and rare". But we weren't there for pizza, we wanted to pick up some subs for a few lunches on our weekend trip. They have 14 "cold" and 10 "hot" sandwiches, and the pricing structure really makes you a fool if you don't go big. Our Italian and Ham and Cheese subs were prices at $11.99 for small and $12.99 for a large, so you tell me what choice you would make? My large Italian sub easily provided a satisfying half for Friday lunch and a second half for Saturday lunch. It was an excellent sandwich with plenty of meat on a pillowy soft sesame breaded sub roll with lettuce, tomato, onions and vinegar, Have I had subs with more meat? Of course I have. But have I paid around $20 for comparably sized subs? Of course I have. So, was I happy for Gianni's value, considering quality, quantity, and price? One thousand percent YES. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our visit very much. Of Note Their parking lot is tiny, so it would be challenging to negotiate on a perfect weather day. It was a snowy mess when we visited, and the mounds of snow and sardine-like jam-up of cars made the lot a hard pass for us. We ended up parking in the big lot across the street, behind Blue On Highland and walked over.

    Great NY style pizza, friendly staff. Great Barstool rating…read moretoo! Check this place out.

    Violante Farms is a fabulous place but a little deceiving. When I pulled in, I assumed I was going…read moreto a farmstand. Yes a large farmstand. Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.

    The place is gorgeous inside complete with fresh vegetables, meat and an assortment of plants…read more Inside the main building, they have all the grocery items while in the greenhouses, they have the plants. One of the greenhouses was completely just mums. They really looked stunning. The prices were about triple for the groceries. Everything was perfect but so it should be at that price. Outside they had huge bins of the various varieties on apples. Just remember to bring your wallet.

Great local spot and easy parking out back. Outdoor seating and staff really care about the food . Get a frequent customer card and they stamp for a free sandwich after 10 stamps!

    Tried Santoros for the first time. Although the Yelp reviews led me to have high expectations, I…read moremostly found disappointment. It is a small place, quite messy, with a lot of activity (baking cookies, slicing meats) that had little to do with customer service. As I was the only customer there (at 1:25 in the afternoon) i was ignored (despite my attempts to converse) until I called out for a chicken parmigiana sandwich to go. The bread is fresh, but the sandwich merely had small pieces of breaded chicken--essentially just little bites, like one would cut for a toddler. Sauce was underwhelming and surprisingly (and disappointingly) sweet. I also purchased some premade penne with marinara for dinner. Again, the marinara was very dull...and sweet. The sandwich cost $14.75, and the penne was another $11.00. There were no pizza slices, no arancini. Rather disappointing and bare. In fact, the lemon cookie I bought, which was NOT mind blowing in any sense, was the single best thing I bought there. I know good Italian deli, and yes, I have been to Sicily on several occasions. This was more like a Subway attempt at Italian food. I do not expect to go back.
