So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

They have a nice full bar with plenty of good beers in cans, bottles and draft. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. It was a little busy but I never had to wait long to order. The deli has a really nice selection of sandwiches. I ordered the large Reuben which was around $14. It was so good I got a second sandwich. The guy working the deli counter also was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place itself had plenty of seating and was quite clean. Definitely a perfect spot to stop in Dayton to get a delicious sandwich and a refreshing beverage. They also had signs posted allowing kids during the day which is perfect - they can play the old school arcade games while you wait for your food! Highly recommend!

There was a great selection of local beers on draft plus a larger selection of cans and a few cocktail specials. There also a deli that made some damn good food. I absolutely recommend and would visit again if I am in the area. The food came out fresh and the service was great. Out bartender was super cool. It seemed like they had a motto of being nice, which is a great addition.

Not many pizza spots in this end of town except Domino's and Little Caesar's; we tried another…read morelocal one but it was closed for the holidays. This had a tempting menu online, and was open. The outside is sketchy. The building doesn't quite look open, the access road and parking are in disrepair. But it was open, and we were hungry. Inside it is much nicer. The booths are a little threadbare, but generally the decor and tableware were pretty fancy. Service was friendly, from the owners apparently. We ordered at the counter. The menu is big, with pizza and apps and also Turkish items. Kid K got a small cheese pizza and added feta. I got a small meat lover's. Halal, so I assume the pepperoni was beef; plus gyro meat, ground beef, and more. Also a samsa, sort of like a runza. A pastry pocket filled with seasoned beef and onions. It came first and was outstanding. For $4, a good portion and an excellent flavor. The pizzas came next and one was wrong, perhaps due to communication issues at the counter. What came turned out to be their special, cheese with feta plus spinach and tomato. Kid K is not into those, and there were so many toppings she couldn't really eat around them. The server whisked it away and came back in 10 minutes or so with a fresh cheese pizza with feta sprinkled on top. K loved it. My meatza was good: slightly thick crust, loads of good cheese with a great pull, tons of meat. Too much food after the big samsa, so we'll see how it reheats later, but I enjoyed a couple of slices right then. Hot and cheesy and meaty. We also got a small piece of pistachio baklava. Barely able to eat any more, but I scarfed it down. Very, very good. Drinks are bottled. Prices are decent for the quantity and quality. I'd come back if I lived nearby. Lots of other things on the menu I want to try, mainly in the Turkish section.

I grabbed a sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Fresh bread, generous portions of meat, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and just the right balance of flavors--simple, classic, and done right. You can tell everything is fresh and made with care. The deli case is impressive too. From prepared salads to grilled items and Italian-style dishes, everything looks well-stocked, clean, and appetizing. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every visit because it all looks that good. Overall, Jerardi's Little Store delivers quality food, great presentation, and that small local-shop charm that's hard to find these days. Perfect for a quick lunch or grabbing something delicious to take home. Definitely worth the stop--and the return visit.

It's such a unique gatherall for food and drinks with an ambiance that truly makes it stand out. It's not huge like some others but it's brimming with character. There are four food spots and a bar with great drink options surrounded by lots of comfortable seating. The food spots include Nood Bar (noodles), Kung Fu BBQ (Asian BBQ), The Burger Bistro, and Fete (bowls and salads). Here's the fiod we tried: The burger bistro -turkey burger -Brussels sprouts -chicken parm eggrolls Nood Bar -Japanese fried chicken Bao (3) -Korean corn dog Kung fu bbq -3 smoked brisket birria tacos with a side of Mac and cheese If was tough to decide an absolute favorite of everything, but I thought the bao was the best, followed by the eggrolls, and the birria tacos. All of it was very tasty though and I can't say any dish was remotely disappointing. The service from each spot, including the bar, was great too. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out.

The noodles had chili oil and cheddar-infused pork broth, Japanese fried chicken, bok choy, fresh corn, scallions, pickled bamboo, grated Parmesan, and black garlic oil. I really enjoyed the fried chicken and the cheese pull that the noodles had. The service was decent. I wouldn't say its anything to cry home about - at both the bar and the restaurant - but the staff was pleasant. I will say I was a bit concerned regarding the food safety at the Noods Bar. I noticed that none of the people preparing food were wearing gloves or a hair net. In fact, the young lady who took my order at the register was processing basil without gloves. What I found most alarming was when the time came for me to order, she simply put the basil to the side for a moment - took my order by touching the ipad and took my card for payment - and went right back to the basil without washing her hands.
