It was my first time at Crave today and I was in a bit of a time crunch because I was going to…read morevisit my uncle at UPenn in Philly, and bring him some food. The owner -- who I thought was a customer, and a few of the staff were outside of Crave making a video for their social media and I was completely unaware of what was going on. Instead of me having patiences, and figure out what was going on, I became a bit impatient and got a little frustrated, because I was trying to park (typical New Jerseyan). The owner explained to me what they were doing and instead of me being more understanding, I was a bit immature and had an attitude. I want to apologize for that! I was completely blown away with how amazing the food was. How friendly and knowledgeable the staff is, and the atmosphere in there makes you feel like you're in your little own oasis, not NJ! I got the Hungry Man bowl -- 10/10. -- Roasted potatoes served with broccoli, burnt carrots, cheddar cheese, bacon, chimichurri steak, drizzled in their basil pesto. Also 2 kids bowls, one was for my uncle because he can't eat large portions anymore. My son tore his up and once I got to UPenn and my uncle woke up from a nap he ate half. They both enjoyed it very much! The steak and chicken were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. I really enjoyed every bite of the Hungry Man bowl! I highly recommend this place if you want to eat clean delicious-and nutritious food!

I've visited Crave a few times this week and have overall enjoyed the experience, but I wanted to…read moreshare a small concern. During my recent visits, I noticed some inconsistencies in portion sizes. At first, I thought it might just be a one time thing, but today I had a chance to observe a few orders being prepared while waiting for my husband's smoothie. It seemed like some bowls were filled above the measuring line, while mine was slightly under. I completely understand that things can vary during busy times, but I just wanted to mention it as feedback. Consistency in portions would really help ensure all customers feel they're getting the same value. I'm sharing this with the intention of being helpful, as I do enjoy coming here and hope to continue supporting your business.

Such a unique and large space with seating on both sides (1 side is a coffee bar and the other is the kitchen). Their menu is so unique and they also have a "test kitchen" menu where they'll have creations from the kitchen that they make and if they're popular enough they make the big menu. Such a great concept. Their menu has so many delicious sounding items but I decided since it was my first time to try "staples" which was a sandwich and soup combo. The cheddar broccoli soup was spectacular! The flavor and heartiness won me over. I tried the pear and gouda panini as my 1/2 sandwich which was also quite tasty. Oh and my iced raspberry cheesecake cappuccino was my favorite! Soooooo dreamy. And the customer service was great too. The cashier was super patient with me as I took forever to review the menu and decide on what I wanted. I will definitely be back even though it isn't close to my home which says something. So happy I discovered this place.

If you're looking to eat clean, and need a good wholesome farm to table meal, this is it! It reminds you of a healthy version of Chipotle, but with all organic toppings and choices. The lentils and pickled radishes set the bowls off for sure. There is indoor seating, a variety of beverages for sale, and ample free parking in front of the restaurant. The vibe is chill and casual (think deli counter vibes). Take out friendly, pull up and enjoy friends!

They do not know your name or care about your childhood. I picked the Seasonal Stir-Fry, the Chesapeake Crab Stir-Fry. Egg white noodles. Crab with Old Bay seasoning. Bell peppers. Red onions. Scallions. Parsley. Seasoned breadcrumbs. Old Bay sauce. I swapped the grape tomatoes for mushrooms. I also ordered a bottle of Mexican Coke. Cane sugar as God intended. It felt almost rebellious to drink something that tasted like the 20th century. The place was nearly empty when I walked in, but within five minutes it was buzzing. Three line cooks moved like their feet were on fire. A young woman at the front kept the chaos civilized, sliding bags onto shelves and trays into hands with the calm of someone who has seen worse days. She was very good at her job. My order arrived hot enough to make my glasses fog. The crab was all body meat, none of the prized claw, but there was plenty of it. Sometimes quantity has a quality all it's own. The Old Bay gave a mild sting on the tongue and reminded me that flavor is sometimes about memory as much as ingredients. The napkins had a word search, a maze, and a spot-the-difference game on the backs. I did not touch them. I admired the idea though. It was a neat way to keep kids or bored adults occupied without wasting paper on disposable menus, flyers or tray covers. The meal and soda cost just under twenty dollars with tip. That is a little high for noodles and crab from a fast casual joint, but these are the days we are living in. All in all, I left satisfied, and asking for more than that from your lunch is just setting yourself up for disappointment. 4 stars.

It sure seems this location has been catching a lot of hate lately! Stopped in for lunch on a whim…read morelast week and while I certainly wasn't impressed, I wasn't really disappointed either, which I suppose is the epitome of a 3 star experience. The dine-in area was mostly clean, with a few tables with debris left behind that customers failed to clean up after themselves. Oddly, the lights were either off or dimmed extremely low, but the bright sunlight streaming in was more then enough to get by. I do wonder what it is like on overcast days, though? The woman who made my salad certainly wasn't particularly friendly, but she was efficient and prompt. I've seen several complaints that this location is particularly stingy with the the toppings. My Southwest Chipotle Chicken Salad wasn't overflowing with the added ingredients, but I didn't have to hunt for them either. So, all in all, I would probably expect a bit more from a $12 lunch salad, but I was overly disappointed. I went in looking for a salad that would full me up for lunch, and Saladworks provided that; nothing more, nothing less.

I felt like I was in the city with the gorgeous lighting and ambiance. My friend and I went on ladies night, where every Wednesday they have a DJ and 10% off food/drinks at the bar! We started off with 3 different apps, the zucchini fritte, the meat and cheese board for two, and the rice balls. Everything was phenomenal! The rice balls were stuffed with shredded beef instead of ground beef which I liked and the Gorgonzola cheese sauce was tangy and savory. The zucchini fritte was fried to a golden crisp and felt light and satisfying. The meat and cheese board is truly perfect for pairing with some pre-dinner drinks! Neither of us felt like drinking that night so I got the Stella Rose red berry spritz and she got the black berry spritz. These were fruity and sweet and perfect for a night out. Great alcohol free options. For dinner I got the cacio e pepe which came in a huge serving. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and I really liked how creamy and cheesy it was without feeling too heavy. My friend got the eggplant rollatini which was a humongous portion and she devoured it and still had some for leftovers. These were both great meat-free options. For dessert I had the chocolate lava cake which was rich and decadent. Perfect for sharing but mine was all for me! My friend had the creme brûlée which she indulged on without a single bite to spare! Can't forget to mention the impeccable service! Our server Andres was so sweet and took excellent care of us and always checked in with us. I'm so glad I finally checked out Spigola! This is a perfect restaurant for a great meal. Since it is an elevated atmosphere, this makes it extra special for birthdays, anniversaries, date nights, etc. With their big event space in the back, Spigola's is a wonderful spot for showers, rehearsal dinners, parties, even intimate weddings. What a wonderful gem to have in the Mercer county dining scene!

Our super friendly and welcoming server had recommended the Mediterranean, but I craved jalapeños - ultimately would have picked the Mediterranean if I had to do it again. Hot dog is very good according to my daughter - served on an Italian roll and is more like 2 hot dogs - she loved it.
