My husband wanted the #15 but they ran out of ham. It was the end of the day, end of week. When I say this is the best sammy we have ate. The turkey was fresh, tasted so flavorful and clean.

It was a busy lunch time, but we never felt neglected. Our server did a wonderful job. We choose a table outside in the sunshine, it was much quieter outside so that we could have a nice chat.

Let me start by saying I didn't take pictures. For anyone who reads my reviews, that's a big part…read moreof them: ALL THE PICTURES. Presentation, portions, half eaten, etc... but I didn't. Because the food was so damn good. Look - I'm going to start off by saying I grew up practically on The Hill. Out here, you'll have to Google it (make sure to add 'RI' to the search or you'll get some political BS), but back east, "alls you's have ta say" was those two words and anyone would know you knew your Italian, food and otherwise. There isn't anything on this coast that vaguely compares to The Hill's food, but walking into and biting out of Geraldi's was having a little piece of home. There's this little shop in the old town where the owner knew your voice when you called to order... you'd walk in, and you heard "hey cousin!" whether you were or not, and that's the vibe you get from Geraldi's. The food is much the same - you get something that looks like Nonna was at the range all day with her sauce (it's not gravy - no meat) and you came home looking like you haven't eaten in weeks: "I'm gonna fatten you up before you leave" and you walked out the door with a sub (sandwich, that is - not a submarine) that weighed the same as a newborn. We got three of those babies: a Chicago Beef (seal of approval from the orderer - only 'complaint' was that they had to eat it all in one day because the bread was quote too soggy to make it to lunch the next day - travesty), an Italian sausage (just as delicious when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and a Chicken Parmeroni (I thought somehow even better when 1/2 was reheated the next day) and I could have absolutely gone back the next day if it weren't for A. the leftovers 2/3 of us had and B. the meal planning we'd done for the week. I also grabbed a side of giardiniera because I will get it anytime I see it available and I inhaled it - I need to know if I can by it by the vat instead of the side cups because it too was similar to what I can find at home (about practically nowhere out here) and amazing!! I'm still upset I didn't take pictures though!

The steak is always tender and well-seasoned, not overly salty like at some other places. The cheese is melted just right, and the grilled onions add a nice sweetness. The bread holds it all together without falling apart or getting too overly soggy. One of my favorite parts is the jalapeños they offer on the side. I always ask for them. They're fresh and spicy, and I like adding them to each bite for an extra kick. There's also plenty of parking, which makes it easy to get in and out, even on a busy Saturday.

Cecilia is a restaurant for a certain type of customer. I can see a tremendous appeal for some…read morepatrons and not so for others. I shall explain. The ambiance is an attempt at industrial chic. When one walks in, the waiting area has a glass pain which gives an open view into the grill area, a popular chic vibe. The ceilings are high, there are brick walls, air conditioning ducts which run along the ceiling totally exposed, and a bar as the centerpiece of the restaurant. They pull their goal at chic ambiance off well: 5 star. Cecilia also makes a strong marketing effort to the weekend brunch crowd that likes to have a morning fufu alcohol drink as a little remedy for the ole "have a bit of the snake that bit you last night". That is to say they promote a variety of house cocktails that are both rather sweet and attractive to the eye. I feel they pull this off extremely well - delivering what they promote - although I did not indulge. Again, a 5 star performance. As for the service, I would say it was subpar, especially for a restaurant which bills itself as a high end breakfast spot. I had no reservation, asked how long the wait would be, they told me 25 minutes and the actual wait was 45 minutes. Not a good start: 20 minutes off is significant. I ran a restaurant. If you are going to be off, err on the conservative side: tell one an hour and have them sit in 45. If they decide to stay they will appreciate the effort. If they decide to leave, they will not hold it against management but will rather realize next time one should make a reservation. Speaks to bad management. As for the actual service, the waitress had virtually zero character, barely checked on us during the meal - although walked by us a number of times - and it took a long time for our plates to be cleared and the check to be delivered. Service rated a 2 star, and that is being generous. Finally, the food. I was extremely disappointed. Note I went here with high expectations. I left with a low level of gastronomic satisfaction. I ordered the eggs benedict. I tend to order this in a good restaurant because I do not make it at home and it is a great breakfast treat of done well. As for this rendition, mixed review. The pastry it was served on was a delicate, layered pastry which was very good. However, the two eggs were way overcooked to the point that the yolk was virtually all cooked. Most certainly not the way an egg benedict should be prepared. As for the side of potatoes: I frequently cook potatoes with my breakfast - mine blow these away. Not hard to make good potatoes, these were not those. My ladies breakfast was a huge disappointment. It read great and unique on the menu. A shrimp omelette. However, when it was delivered and cut into massive amount of a liquid which almost resembled water filled the plate: talk about unappetizing. Then the contents. They shrimp were the cheap, tasteless, tiny bay shrimp. Talk about no pride in quality of food and quality not rising to the marketing thereof: abysmal effort. An establishment trying to market themselves as a foodie place should use medium to large, quality shrimp which taste like shrimp- not the low end, tasteless shrimp stuffed into these eggs. This omelette would have trouble competing with an omelette at a local diner. I would never serve a house guest such a poor specimen, but then I take pride in my cooking: I do not believe Cecilia's does. As for food, given what they market themselves as - a menu which screams out that we are serious about our food: I rate it as diner food outside of the biscuit and one huge disappointment. In summary, I believe for the person who is trying to impress a guest with ambiance and the quality of food is not that important, go for it because Cecilia's is a good fit. For the patron that enjoys atmosphere, Cecilia's is a good stop. For the patron who likes a good alcoholic drink for brunch, highly recommend. For those patrons who are seeking a solid foodie experience or whom value good table service, Cecilia will deliver a big disappointment.
