I first noticed Panorama Musicale while picking up lunch at Italian Peoples' Bakery next door. From the outside it still looks like an Italian shop from Chambersburg's heyday. But, walking in you realize you aren't in Jersey anymore. The language is Spanish, and the environment is Latin Café. I was there to see about lunch. The friendly owner showed me what was cooking in the water table, and I chose the fried chicken and rice. I noticed the other customers were drinking coffee, and soon understood why. Behind the counter was a copper classic expresso machine, complete with large dome and spread eagle on top. A work of art from another era. So, the chicken was dry and overcooked, and the rice only passable. I wouldn't return for their food unless desperate. For that alone, they would get two stars at most. However, I wasn't gong to leave without testing that awesome contraption, and ordered a latte to go. I watched as the process unfolded. Valves were turned. Steam pipe immersed. Foam poured. Impressive bit of engineering and design. And, the latte was excellent, too! Far better than the average joe, and at a reasonable price compared to the better known beaneries. If it had been served in ceramic, on a tray, and with a cookie, it would have garnered five stars; but given the styro cup delivery, I just couldn't get that far. Panorama Musicale could use a thorough cleaning and a little panache around its wonderful expresso machine, but as it is, it is a surprising find for superior coffee in the heart of Jersey's capital city.

Today's special was Chicken Soup and I can tell you, it was one of the best chicken soups I had in a long time. Where else in Trenton do you get a good meal and a great coffee in the same place for less than a fast food chain meal?

This isn't the best neighborhood in the Capital City, in fact, it is one of the worst. I wouldn't be found here at night, but for a quick lunch with parking right out front, and Trenton's finest stopping in for take out, I felt pretty safe as I dined on my Eggplant Parm Sandwich. The loaf was fresh, mildly crunchy and had a good mild yeasty flavor. The Eggplant had been sautéed in a frying pan with extra virgin olive oil before being finished in the pizza oven to melt the cheese and seal the final product. It was a good sandwich, even if not the lunch of the gods. Service was friendly, if a little jumpy. Only four booths for eating in. Same ownership for 23 years. I guess they have seen the hood change during that time. How many holdups before the sign went up? No doubt, one was enough.

The pizza selections were plentiful and the staff were as pleasant as can be. I even got to meet the famous owner, Giuseppe, who was very endearing and welcoming. One particular slice did catch my eye and it was the chunky sausage slice! One thing that grinds my gears is when I see sliced sausage on my pizza.. but this place gets IT! They had generous chunks of sausage on top of the pizza. The crust was just right, not burnt nor too soft. The cheese was just right and the sauce was not acidic and had a certain sweetness to it. The place is super clean and spacious and customers never stopped coming in for their fix! Definitely will make this my go to spot for any pizza cravings in the Trenton area!

I was told the delivery would arrive in 50 minutes at 6:40 PM. I called at 7:15 and was told that the driver should arrive in 10 minutes. The food arrived at 7:30 PM. -The food: My husband enjoyed the cheeses steak special. The 4 wings combo was missing the fries. The wings had feathers sticking out of three of the four wings. I called about the lack of fries and feathers on the wings -Restaurant response per Jose. Very apologetic about the late delivery and the missing fries. He would give me a $5.00 credit on my next order because the fries were left off. Regarding the feathers on the chicken, that's just the way it comes to the restaurant. There will be feathers and I would not get a credit for the chicken. I am "very" disappointed in the response about feathers on the chicken wings. It is unacceptable to sell cooked chicken wings with feathers sticking out.

As we waiting for our ice cream sundaes to arrive, the servers came outside and gave us fresh popcorn. It was such a small but sweet (and tasty) gesture. The owner came out and gave us our ice cream sundaes and chatted with us for a while about the life of an entrepreneur. She was so kind to give us so much attention and information on her life starting businesses in the local area. The mission of this shop is so pure and you can tell that the ice cream parlor was built with so much love. The ice cream and mango italian ice were both fantastic. If you are in the area, I hope you get the chance to visit and have conversation with the family.

I think in many of our cultures, getting ice cream was somewhat of a treat and possibly enjoyed while on summer vacations. In this environment it gets even better. That was my mindset when seeing TIP for the first time. Clean and brightly colored shop with very nice outdoor seating options. Going inside you encounter a clean, colorful and brightly lit space with a few more tables. The counter was plexiglassed ala Covid style. Cases held about 12 ice cream choices, with maybe 8 more ice choices. Several options looked appealing to me. I went with old faithful chocolate and paired it with something I've never had, banana split. While I liked the chocolate, I really liked the split. It did remind me of getting sundaes and such as a child. The flavors were clean in both, and not overly sweetened. A better than average creaminess, but not in the upper tier. I'd get either again, or maybe one of the rotating flavors. The ice cream is not made in house, I was informed that it is sourced from local makers. I have a few suspicions as to who they might be, but of course more research will be required;). I really enjoyed talking with the owner and his two sons. To say this is a family business and or a labor of love is just barely hitting the mark. I'm tempted to tell the whole story here but I think it's better for the curious to just visit themselves. This is a business I would love to see thrive for many years. And as they succeed it could offer hope to other businesses or even families. Trenton needed this.

Pizza AND Spanish food set off alarm bells in my head. What are you, a pizzaria? Or do you make Spanish food? Let me address... The so called Spanish food...is NOT! Spanish, that is. It is Latino. Mofongo, tacos, burritos, plantain, arepas...they are certainly all over the map, but thousands of miles from Spain. I hate to judge a book by its cover, but nothing here looked appealing. The store itself is dumpy. Please don't get me wrong, I'm all for a divey dump serving magic, but this place... The burrito we ordered was underfilled and most of that was rice with little chicken. With all the fabulous Latino (Costa Rican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Venezuelan, Guatamalan, Mexican) restaurants in the area, I feel no need to come back here.
