    Tried the spinach and berry salad and it tasted like summer. Berries were sweet and fresh, and the feta gave a nice salty contrast. The nuts added crunch and the balsamic glaze was a perfect touch. Really loved the combo of textures and flavors. The café had a calm and airy feel, great for sitting and enjoying a quiet meal. Staff were friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. Will definitely get this again.

    My favorite part of coming here a second time was knowing I need to take a picture of that cross section. As always amazing!! I have a recommendation and I found the sandwich needing a little more sauce and talking to my friends they also believe this is the case maybe adding the sauce to the top and the bottom might help. There is so much meat and bread that the sauce gets lost. But outside of that amazing! I will continue bring people here! Service as always is amazing. Current ranking on best sandwiches and desserts 1. Fatso 2. Rose 3. Salvatore Dessert 1. Lemon cookie 2. Strawberry lemon cookie (seasonal)

    Homemade deli in Roselle. They only open 3 hours a day on Saturday for the whole week. Inside you'll see the home town feel with the pictures on the wall. When you order it does take about 5-10 minutes, which is expected with everything being made fresh. I got the meatball sub with mozzarella, it tasted very fresh but I loved the bread the most. Would recommend!

    I love this place. Mario and his family are amazing and the quality of their food is top notch. Best little hidden gem i only wish they had another location more visible so they can get even more business. They are super friendly and have build a great following from showcasing at farmers markets as well. The location is small and only has one small table inside to eat so it's more of a order and go. You can see to the kitchen and watch how the whole family is busy working creating magic. Great place food and people. Their Italian subs are the best. I will always keep coming back.

    See all

    Best meatball Stromboli I ever had. Also the focaccia pizza was so fresh and delicious with fresh tomatoes and mushrooms.

    Discovered this delightful little gem randomly when my wife looked through the weekly ad packets…read morethat get delivered and she normally tosses out. Not gonna lie, Australians have meat pies as a common food, and I'm not sure why the hell it's not caught on more in the US. Meat+ pastry +small size = amazing. They've a nice big selection of meat pies and rolls, prices were surprisingly reasonable, and their pastries won me over quite easily. (Cinnamon rolls and scones!). I was surprised my kids liked the pies and rolls too. My son's pretty picky (ugh), but he asked for a 2nd sausage roll which was nice to see. Didn't finish it, but even liking it enough to ask for another and eat half is like Xmas come early for us. Flavors and textures are great! Just watch burning your tongue... which I did twice in our visit. Worth it though. Wanted to make sure I post up here since it's a local place opened recently and need it to stick around for a good long time. Only other place to get meat pies is downtown chicago which is annoying to get to.

    I've spent some time talking to the owners Brett and Shae and they couldn't possibly be nicer or…read moremore generous! The food is really unique and delicious. I have been back several times. I'm a sucker for the lemon slices, honey joys, and "flagship" sausage rolls (haven't tried the jalapeno and cheese or the others but I will). If you're looking for something different for a meeting or luncheon that will make everyone happy and have them still talking about it weeks later, I'd hit them up for a catering order. Prices are more than reasonable, and to be fair, everyone already knows what they're getting when you bring in the usual green boxes and cups with the same logos on them. Put some sausage rolls, lamingtons, and homemade Aussie scones down on the serving table instead and watch the reactions. They have some vegetarian and vegan options, but you should probably call and talk to them about it because I don't know all the processes and they do bake items with and without meat in the same ovens. Some folks are stricter about their diets than others, so just ask. They'll talk to you about anything, really. They're so outgoing and friendly, you always leave feeling you just hung out with your best friends. It seems like we could all use more of that and I really appreciate them.
