Was out running errands and saw the flapping arms signify grand opening I was hungry so I decided…read moreto stop. Good location as there are fede businesses close by and this area needed a new lunch spot. Pros: it's Saturday so not really sure if the parking would be this easy any other day. Seating in here looks plentiful but can see it being busy during the week. It's dark inside but I like that(maybe I'm a vampire...lol) bathroom was clean, music was reasonable you're still able to have a conversation. Waitress was lovely. I lucked up and received a gift certificate for my next visit. Cons: No products for the non-pork eaters yet for breakfast! The manager stated she's going to order some as this area asks for that alot(lol) Have patience as the cook was a little slow but it's also early and probably wasn't expecting this many people. Food: I chose the Classic New Yorker - the sandwich was packed with meat. The corned beef was lean, not salty, the pastrami was sliced thin and great. It had just enough Cole slaw to enjoy the sandwich without overpowering it. I was looking for it to be sloppy with the Russian dressing (was really hoping it was)but they held back! Nothing like a good sloppy corned beef sandwich. Overall, it was a nice sandwich and I'm glad I don't have to travel all the way downtown for one. There is always room for improvement so I will do an update once I have tried the actual breakfast

I visited on 4.28.2026 for breakfast. I ordered a side of breakfast potatoes, bacon, scrapple. The breakfast potatoes tasted like the old lukewarm potatoes you get from a hotel lobby. Six bucks!! The bacon was ok. Just ok. The scrapple was good. The hot tea (Lipton Tea Bag)... chef's kiss!! I'm good on this place. I had a great run w them for many years.

The food is served via cafeteria style in a quick fashion. You are able to watch your food being cooked which has its positive and negatives. The negative is the kitchen needs a full deep cleaning along with the staff T shirts which has clear evidence of grease and food stains. The drink included with the platter is tea, coffee or a soft drink. None of the bottled drinks are included as signs are posted on the refrigerator doors. I explained to the cashier that I don't drink coffee at all, I only drink tea for a sore throat and I don't drink soft drinks for breakfast. I was inquiring for an additional drink option as I only purchased the breakfast platter because the drink was included. There are no options as I purchase a bottled orange juice to drink instead. There is open seating available with TV to watch while you eat. There is also a bakery and deli counter inside as well. Pretty good parking available outside. I will likely return but, hopefully some feedback will bring about some changes.

Finding the restaurant itself was easy, but parking was another story -- the one‑way street and…read moresmall lot made it a challenge. When we walked in, the cashier immediately asked whether we were dining in or taking out. We chose to dine in. We ordered the roast beef sandwich and the pastrami sandwich, along with potato pancakes. They brought out a full assortment of pickles and pickled vegetables. Unfortunately, they only offer one diet option: Dr Pepper Zero, no other diet sodas from the fountain or in bottles. The potato pancakes were a disappointment -- mostly batter with very little shredded potato. The pickled vegetables also lacked flavor and didn't really taste pickled. Our table wasn't cleared at any point during the meal, and the waiter stood nearby waiting for us to finish, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The desserts looked amazing, but we were too full to try them. We also couldn't take anything to go since we had plans for the rest of the day and didn't want it sitting in the car. Next time, we'll come back specifically to try the desserts.

Upon entering, you walk into a full service, but small, market specializing in Italian grocery items. The ambiance was homey, perfect for a small neighborhood specialty grocery. They also have a deli counter, meat counter, hot food bar, and Italian dessert section, to name a few. They also have pizza kits to take home to make your own and pasta and other food items prepared and ready to go in the refrigerated section. The pizza counter is located in the rear of the store. They also sold other items such as sandwiches. We were greeted by a pleasant young man and ordered our Italian sausage and pepperoni pizza. Scittino's has seating to enjoy your pizza in store or outside. Our order was ready in no time. We opted to take ours to go. The pizza was fresh with a great yeasty crust. The toppings were good and ample, the tomatoes sauce fresh with just enough cheese to pull it all together. The pizza was really good. All in all, another pizza spot to add to our growing list in the area.

I (a white male) placed a mobile order for a half dozen bagels and ask my wife (and Indian female) to pick it up for us. I even forwarded my wife the confirmation email. When she went in, she told them we placed an order and showed them the email confirmation, and as they were about to hand it over, someone told the person helping her "no, don't hand it over, we need to verify" not realizing this was a personal order. When she asked why, they then said "oh well we assumed most of you guys are delivery drivers." She then replied that it's a bit too early in the morning for this causal racism, to which they shrugged it off as you'd be surprised as to how common it is. I don't care how common it is. I don't care if 99.9% of the time it follows a pattern. It is unacceptable behavior on its face. We will not be returning.
