    Sourdough Bread Bowl

    I ordered broccoli cheddar soup in bread bowl at this Panera today but only got the bread bowl and no soup. 11 dollars for bread in the shape of a bowl, disappointing.

    Autumn squash soup and Greek salad

    Very good service. The guy was patient and helpful. The food was ready crazy fast. I loved the soup. Even the little seeds had a great taste. The salad was good though I would have like another pepper I was able to eat and sit by the fire where I read for a little bit. Very nice.

    As other Paneras, the menu offers salads, soups, pastas, sandwiches, and kid options. I came here to pick up an Orange Scone - this was a generous size, where it was larger than my hand! The scone itself wasn't dry or crumbly, but there was enough moistness to it with a nice orange glaze. Perfect treat with a hot beverage! The staff here was super friendly, welcoming, and very sweet. They also made the lines move along quickly. I also noticed that the space was maintained very well, where the tables and the chairs were wiped down often and was very clean. A good place to catch up, do some work/studying, and/or to grab a quick/casual meal.   Plenty of parking, too! +friendly staff! +clean! +quiet and a relaxing environment +plenty of parking in the plaza lot +located next to Foo Bao

    French Onion Soup with baguette.
    Rachel W.

    I've been craving Panera for a while after it closed down in Columbia Mall so I was stoked to see that one opened on route 40! People describe the food as glorified hospital food, but somehow they make it good. The Panera has every warm toned and always smells like muffins. I don't know how but even though they sell many other types of food, the only thing you smell when you come in are the muffins. Another notable thing was the staff. The staff was friendly and was very energetic! My friend and I ordered the mac and cheese, french onion soup, and a spicy chicken sandwich. The french onion soup was soooo good. It was sweet and then salty and the croutons adds a good crunch. The only downfall was that the soup was at a weird temperature. It was in a mix between warm and room temp. The chicken sandwich was great too! the flavors went together very nicely. It was so good, we were about to go back and get another sandwich. The only downside was the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese came out warm on top but cold on the bottom. The noodles were kind of separated from the cheese so it was like eating a noodles and cheese rather than mac and cheese. But otherwise, I ate it up. Overall, I still really like this place, but maybe next time, I'll ask to heat up the mac and cheese and the soup a little more.

    Lobster Mac and cheese with strawberry poppy seed salad
    Jannet C.

    Had a nice lunch here. They have their lobster special in a roll or Mac and cheese. I got their pick 2 with lobster Mac and cheese with a strawberry poppy seed salad. I like how they give you a good amount of lobster on the Mac and cheese a that seasonal salad is fresh, sweet and delicious too. The combo was $27, I guess that's about the going rate for lobster these days. I always enjoy their sandwiches, soups, salads breakfast items, baked goods, I'll go back again soon.

    Why do I keep doing this to myself? I came here to grab a sandwich and use the TMobile buy one get…read moreone free offer. I had no idea there was a location so close to me. The order had to be placed online for pickup. I tried earlier, but the store showed as a corporate location for some reason. After a bit of research, I found out it was an actual store. I parked, placed my order from the car, and made sure to customize it because I do not eat pork. I added extra tomatoes and left out ham. I also ordered one for my son. The pickup time was about fifteen to twenty minutes later. I went inside to let them know I had just placed an order. The store was empty except for staff. A young woman greeted me and said she was working on the sandwiches. I waited, spoke briefly with another employee, and looked around. Soon, my order was ready. The young woman told me the sandwich with extra tomatoes was on top. I thought she might also mention no ham, but she did not. I checked the bag before leaving, opened the one she pointed out, and thought it looked right. I tied the bag back up and left. At home, I planned to give one sandwich to my son and save mine for lunch the next day. I was a little hungry and decided to take a bite. Before I did, I checked again because both sandwiches looked exactly the same. That is when I saw they both had ham. I was upset. I checked the time, saw the store was still open, and called. The phone rang for a long time, but someone finally answered. I explained what happened. He asked if I had the receipt, but there was none in the bag. I gave him my name, and he found my receipt still in the store. He read it out loud and said it only showed extra tomatoes, not no ham. I checked my account and saw he was right. Somehow, the no ham request had not saved. I told him I was confused because I was sure I had deselected ham. He said it was not their fault and they could not fix it. I asked to speak to the manager. He talked to someone in another language and came back saying the manager said the same thing. They would make a new sandwich if I paid again. That was disappointing. The manager refused to get on the phone and I was "oh welled". I thought this could be a regular spot since it is so close and clean inside. But maybe it is for the best. The food is not great for me anyway. I do not know what went wrong with the order. I even tried to recreate it, but the promo code seemed to affect the options although it did allow for customization. Maybe it was meant to be. Yes, maybe the mistake was on my end. But I know I tried to remove the ham. Either way, I do not need processed meat in my life. I will take this as a win. Will I go back? No, and that is okay. The food is not good for me anyway. Also, what was I doing eating a sandwich after 8 anyway? Get it together ma'am! A star for the store being clean, the young lady being pleasant, and the quickness I received my order.

    Fast friendly service. They make the best Meatball Sub, very tasty. And their prices are reasonable.read more

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 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.

Their house-roasted porchetta used a light layer of hot giardiniera, (marinated cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, celery and Calabrian chili peppers), and it wasn't super-spicy. Perfect for me! They used "shaved Auricchio provolone", which happily had more flavor than average american provolone, and it melted enough to make a soft stretchy layer as a good replacement for more traditional stracciatella cheese. The star of the sandwich, the porchetta, was tender, juicy but not wet, very nicely flavored with tiny touch of its own peppery heat. The ciabatta had a nice chew, not crispy, not too soft. A very nice sandwich! The flavors could have been a bit more bold, and i wanted just a little more crisp on the pork. The whole sandwich was very pleasing. The "classic Italian" was very generously overstuffed with quality cold cuts: bright mortadella and capicola, thin tender prosciutto, flavorful provolone and romano. A good balance of lettuce, tomato, and red onion, lightly flavored with their savory herbed house vinegar & oil, and a light sprinkling of bright flavorful not-too-spicy crushed cherry peppers. Of course on their great fresh Italian bread. It was very tasty and satisfying. For the six-year-old we got a simple salami and mayo. It sounds ordinary, but it was a very flavorful super-thin salami and that perfect Italian bread. I was lucky the six-year-old saved me a taste :-) With a full little grocery store, we also added Berger cookies and several types of Italian cookies. The amaretto ones were especially light and well flavored. They melt in your mouth! Scittino's has a whole menu of sandwiches and pastas and chicken and sweets and salads, a nice selection of Italian soft drinks, and a full deli. We often get their giant 20-inch New York thin crust pizza! Tasty with a crispy-bottom chewy thin crust. This is a nice little corner neighborhood restaurant with a few tables and enough parking here and there. They make you feel welcome, and the food is good :-)

A blogger that I follow on IG reviewed this place, so today we decided to give it a try. We ordered a couple different Banh Mi's - the BBQ pork and Grill pork. For those who are familiar with this dish, the bread is the star of this dish and the baguette was fresh and had a nice crunch with every bite. Both of the meats were seasoned well bursting with flavor and the pickled carrots and daikon were nice and thick. They offer many different options for summer rolls and while the safe side of me wanted to stick with just the "traditional / original" style, we decided to venture off and got the Grilled Beef, Grilled Sausage, Shredded Pork, and Grilled Pork. All of them were delicious in their own way and they each come with different sauces. While we were there we also got the original Cafe Su Da (Vietnamese iced coffee) which was delicious but my favorited was the Salted Latte which tastes like a Salted Caramel coffee. Staff was very friendly and got all of the food and drinks out in a timely manner. Absolutely love this place and excited to have a great Banh Mi place here in Maryland without having to travel to DC / VA.
