This is a great gourmet food shop with tons of pastas, sauces, kitchen necessities, wines, oils, and legit DOP balsamic. They have a restaurant / wine bar, as well. They have more selection on gourmet foods than the smaller salumerias nearby but no cheese or charcuterie. Their prices were very reasonable, and the staff were friendly. read more

This is a beautiful spot and the good that came out to the tables looked amazing. We went there hoping to buy something for a night in. It as a cool-ish early fall night, so we were thinking soup and bread. They told us the soup of the day was bean and pasta soup (pasta fasciul- which we typically love so we were excited!) so we ordered three for our group of four. We also order several desserts. The takeout total was equal to or more than it would have cost us to sit down in a restaurant and order off the menu. When we got to the house and excitedly opened the containers of soup, we were surprised to find something quite different from what was expected- it was basically canned refried beans mixed with pasta- it was partially solidified and because they put it in a paper to go container instead of a soup container it had absorbed into the container as well. Honestly, it wasn't great. We also got one of their pizzas which was cold and stuck to the top of the box, so by the time we ate it was more unappetizing. We didn't go back. Too bad, it gets amazing reviews otherwise. The thing was that the guy behind the register was somewhat arrogant and unhelpful- he knew full well what we were getting and that it wasn't what we were thinking and did not guide us any differently. So sorry we wasted one of our precious vacation meal choices on this place. It turned out to be the worst meal of our 16 day trip - every other meal we had was spectacular. read more

We would have given this restaurant a higher rating, had it not been for some issues with consistency. The appetizers were great, but one of the main courses was not as expected. During our meal, we could hear the kitchen staff discussing ingredients and, once we asked the waiter to explain what one of the dishes that was brought to our table actually was, the waiter could not say for sure. No one from the kitchen ever showed up to confirm that the main ingredient in the dish was indeed what we had ordered. Ultimately, we left feeling perplexed, because some things could have been handled better, both in terms of customer service and in terms of quality control. read more

went to this place for the vegan options and it's amazing! i wasn't sure what to expect, but it's a great spot for dinner. they have something for everyone. i think they change their menu by season since the menu i got at the restaurant was slightly different than the one i saw on yelp. not too expensive and the workers were nice and welcoming, even to an american visiting. highly recommend!! read more

Excellent place to eat with a nice foodie store in the front. Wines by the glass were excellent, and a nice variety to choose from. We had the octopus appetizer, which was good (cooked in butter, so richer than you might expect). The bread basket was especially good, with some sort of house made Rosemary croutons. The restaurant identifies with the slow food movement, for what that's worth. We barely got a table on a Saturday night (we were by some cardboard boxes of wine in a corner, so I think it was literally the last unreserved table)-- so consider q reservation on the weekends at least. read more
