I tried a tuna melt, having been underwhelmed by a breakfast experience on a prior visit and since I don't eat meat. the sandwich was good and I enjoyed the challah bread until about halfway through when I hit a fishy bite and was put off. The accompanying fries were very good. BF really enjoyed his Reuben, which was filling and meaty - thus the 4 stars. I'm waiting for a winner from Benji's, but as a vegetarian, I might be waiting a long time.

Anyway, had I known she was going to make my grilled panini with regular sandwich bread, I definitely would have tried somewhere different. Not that it tasted bad at all, I assumed grilled panini meant ciabatta and also GRILLED. I had gotten a mango lassi too and was not my preference as well, they mix theirs with spices (that were chunky in the drink, not pleasant for me personally). The worker was so nice but yeah, false advertising for their menu items.

I have been wanting to try their Italian beef for so long and I'm so glad that I finally did! I got…read morethe regular size, it was fully loaded and way more than enough. The beef was perfectly tender and well seasoned. I got the au jus on the side which I'm glad I did because as fresh and delicious as the roll was, it was pretty soft and not sturdy enough to hold all of that flavorful beef. The flavor of the au jus was incredible and it was nice to be able to dip and pour a little on top as I gobbled down. I also got the tomato salad and marinated mozzarella. The tomatoes were super fresh and juicy and all of the vegetables were crunchy and fresh! I only got one cucumber slice but at the same time I also ordered the smallest size so that's just how the cookie crumbled in terms of ratios. The mozzarella might have been the best I've ever had. The seasoning on the outside was amazing and the freshness and moisture was absolutely perfect. I tried the pizza slice at Brady st fest and it was pretty solid. The sauce had a slight sweetness to it and there was a very nice cheese to sauce to crust ratio. I love a good thick layer of cheese and this definitely had it! The Italian sausage was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was on point! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The inside of the store had a really unique feel, almost like I was in another country. I can't wait to go back to their deli and try more of their delicious food!

I was in the neighborhood and passed by Glorioso's. This Italian market was one of the places…read morerecommended by locals, so I decided to pop in. You can get hot Italian sandwiches, pizzas, typical deli sides, and other Italian specialties here. I couldn't resist ordering a cannoli from their bakery. There were only two left in the display (a plain and a tiramisu cannoli), when I visited on a Sunday afternoon. I asked if they had any more, and the bakery worker said they could make new ones to order (even a single; note that large orders [dozen+] require advanced notice). I'm partial to chocolate, so of course I had to order the chocolate cannoli ($4.49), which is a plain cannoli with a chocolate dipped shell. The thick chocolate coating did make it extra sweet. The cannolis are dipped in pistachios on one end, finished with a sweet cherry in the other, and lightly dusted with powered sugar. These are large cannolis, so it's a treat yourself. You can pay directly at the bakery or at the regular checkout stations. They have dining tables inside and some outdoors as well. I dined outside to enjoy the Milwaukee weather. The cannoli shell was sturdy and crisp - you could easily take a bite without the whole cannoli shattering. I tend to prefer a cannoli loaded with chocolate chips, but Glorioso's was a sweet afternoon treat and it's a great value compared to daintier and pricier cannolis served at Italian restaurants. I'd recommend stopping at Glorioso's for a nice pick-me-up.

WHERE to begin? I've…read morebeen familiar with B&B since its earliest days (which roughly coincided with the earliest days of another great Milwaukee institution, Outpost Natural Foods -- where I was a member and volunteer). A good friend of mine cooked at B&B for a while. As young, recent college grads, my wife and I regularly ate there. Along with Oriental Drugs, the Blue River Cafe, The Outpost and Century Hall, B&B was a favorite, comforting go-to spot. Although I couldn't visit very often during my 25 years on the west coast, I was so very happy to know that it was still here, and as wonderful as ever, when I returned to Wisconsin in 2008. How funny to think that this tremendous haven for those wanting to include at least some vegetarian foods in their diet occupied the spot once known for Frenchy's restaurant (the place famous/infamous for its bear and lion steaks)! I'll need a new place to eat before going to the Oriental Theater. And I'll need a long time to process the sadness I feel. All the best to the owners and staff . . . and here's hoping that maybe B&B will live on in another location.

They have their menu online, limited toppings, but we called ahead to place the order. He said it would be ready in 10 minutes. The pizza size isn't online but I measured and it's 14". First impression of the pizza when they handed it to me was that it needed more cheese. I still think that's true after baking it. I was tempted to add more of my own but wanted to eat it as it came. Tons of toppings though! The sausage was really good too. Never being there but knowing they have cannoli (no dessert case seen), I asked what flavors and got a strange look like there must be only one flavor lol. Okay, I'll take whatever that one is! The man went into the back to fill it for me and I will say it was delicious and was I guess just a plain cream with maybe some vanilla. They aren't open very late so get there early if you want dinner. Like before 5pm. Several others came in to get sandwiches while we were there and said they are great. The space is not very big, it's mostly counter and register but they do have a few tables if you want to sit. You can tell by who was working that they are a family run business and I'm happy to support them in the future! I will ask for extra cheese!

Of course, I couldn't leave a French bakery without trying a pastry, so I went with the cherry almond Danish. And I'm not exaggerating when I say it might be one of the best things I've ever eaten! Absolutely phenomenal. I finished with a lovely cup of coffee, which was the perfect ending to an already wonderful meal. The chef also let me in on a little secret: one of their sleeper hits is the rye bread. Naturally, I couldn't resist taking home a sliced loaf, and I can't wait to try it tomorrow! Excellent service, exceptional food, and so many thoughtful little touches. Highly recommend!
