We had a very nice late lunch here. We'd come to the plaza for another place -- which turned out to be closed -- and found
this place. It's actually a bakery of breads, pastries and pastas.
There are a couple tables inside to eat at, but they also do a lot of take out. And the chef/baker also supplies a few restaurants with their freshly made pasta.
Everything here (except the meats and cheese) are made by Mirko, the owner. All the desserts, the breads, the pastas and the cooked dishes -- that you can buy frozen to take home and heat up. He has a daily lunch special with your choice of pasta and your choice of sauce. It's quite a bargain.
We just shared a large sandwich -- made from one whole huge long ciabatta. We had salami and cheese on our sandwich -- but they have many types. Plus they have focaccia bread if you prefer.
There are too many types of pastries to list. They all looked delicious. I also bought a chocolate croissant to take home for later.
Mirko is from Rome. And he travels back to Italy often to check on his other businesses there and for supplies. So call first before coming by to make sure they are open. This bakery is worth a detour whether you're craving something a bit sweet with a coffee or looking to take home an Italian dinner. read more
