I've always come to this strip mall to dine at Nomad. However, due to recommendations from my…read morefriends, we decided to give Pastiamo a shot. Normally we stay away from pasta restaurants unless there's something unique to it. However, Pastiamo hit a home run immediately. From Chef Francesca being ever present in the restaurant - from serving to seating - to the homemade focaccia you receive as a starter, it was an impeccable dining experience. Then you add the nice plates and simple, yet warm decor. You just can't go wrong. We split the forza Italia as an appetizer to get more of a focaccia kick. We loved the homemade bread. The three cheeses were a nice and complimentary touch. Also, dousing this with some freshly squeezed orange juice didn't hurt. For the main course, we split a pesto gnocchi and a tagliatelle alla Norma. The pasta was truly homemade. Felt super fresh. The sauces were great and not too oily or salty. It was so good that we decided to bring some home to my parents. We will be back again!

It looked like they have outdoor seating for when it's nice out. We would love to check it out in the warmer seasons. I love the inspiration of the Korean fusion dishes. The soy garlic chicken wings were our favorite. We did an order of half soy garlic and half the spicy. I did have high hopes for the gochujang pasta, but the flavor was a lacking a little seasoning and the pasta was also a little over cooked. The beet salad was solid and refreshing. My wife and I love that it was byob. We would come back to try some of the other popular dishes and the coffee at coffee shop at the entrance.

Korean food: 1-Star. Non-Korean food: 3.5-4. Really wanted to love their Korean food after a…read more"pretty good" first experience with their bulgogi last year, but the menu changed and the wannabe Korean flavors were not authentic or up to standards. The classic Korean sundubu chigae was way too fatty, spicy and watery, not a stew. The bibimbop was mostly rice and less fresh veggies than the first time I ate here. For the first time in my life, we saw a restaurant serve up a severely burnt egg (on top of the bibimbop) instead of a simple fried egg. What's happening in the kitchen and their standards to mess up a simple fried egg? (You'll find better bibimbop and soondubu chigae in fast casual cafes and H mart cafeterias.) The non-Korean dishes were better - the fusion gochujang pasta alfredo with shrimp was tasty, and the butternut squash-quinoa-kale dish was surprisingly delicious. However, the true Korean dishes were not authentic and therefore disappointing. They're trying to capitalize on the popular Korean wave but I doubt the truly knows Korean cuisine or flavors. Also dining is on second floor. If you have anyone in your party who can't handle two sets of steps, know that there is no elevator here, and the restrooms are downstairs only where the floor tiles are peeling off and causing tripping hazards.

The food is good. But I think this place is starting to test my patience on the portion sizes and…read morethe prices. The ultimate breakfast came with pancakes or French toast, two eggs and a protein. There is a smaller combo that basically is the same size. I could've sworn in previous months or years that they also would give you toast and fruit or home fries on top of it. That would really make it the ultimate breakfast. But the portion size was a lot to be desired. I have the corned beef hash, which was OK, and it was not too salty, which I feared. However, I think they were using a lot more potatoes and only a little bit of corned beef which made it a little bit of a letdown. The service was pretty good and the ambience was as good as I remember. They got rid of the bocce ball in the front in order to have more tables outside. Time to try some other places.

No self-respecting connoisseur or influencer worth their curated sea salt would stand for anything less than hand-crafted loaves touched by the Almighty. Well, I stand corrected. Their baguettes and Zucchini bread are outstanding and worthy of any hosanna I could summon. If your going to engage in marketing grandiosity it's nice to know Princeton's Bread Boutique delivers. It's easy to be cynical but what they don't sell here are eye rolls. Five very easy stars.

After my first bite of the pistachio-crusted croissant here, I swallowed and pronounced, "People…read moreneed to know about this place." We'd turned in here after feeling discouraged by the long lines at another nearby bakery. Here, it was sunny, quiet, and redolent of that heady bread aroma. Another personally good sign was seeing several empty trays in the windows. When a bakery 'sells out' of stuff, I feel like I've uncovered a hot spot. Here's where I need to make a confession: I like croissants a little more than a normal human being should. Really, I'm a croissant addict. So we already knew I'd like these. But ooh la la, these were especially fine. One had rough chunks of pistachio, a subtle, sticky glaze, and - sweet Jesus - pistachio cream on the inside. When my husband saw the pecan pie croissant, we knew I was done for. Behind the counter, there's a large selection of bread loaves, along with a small savory menu. Along the side of the bakery, there's also a refrigerated area with drinks and cold sandwiches. There are a few tables and seats inside, available first come first served.

There are pastries and a few food options for purchase. The earl grey matcha is such a unique flavor combination. Husband got the iced mocha and we both agree it's the best mocha we've ever had! It's made in house and tastes like rich expensive chocolate. Not pictured was a warm butter croissant that was devoured before a picture was taken because it was so good. Reasonably priced for the quality. $8 for the specialty matcha with the up charge for oat milk. $6 for the iced mocha. $5 for the croissant. The interior is very cold and sleek with metal chairs but the pops of flowers in the table look great and light up the space. The service was solid and appreciate them bringing our order to our table.

I picked a different dessert instead, only to find out later that there was actually one honey cake left after all. A quick double-check before saying an item is unavailable would have saved a little confusion (and would have gotten me to my honey cake faster!). That said, the iced vanilla latte was good, though I noticed there seemed to be quite a bit of room left at the top of the cup. I'm not expecting it filled to the brim, but it felt like there could have been a little more coffee for the price. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Overall, it was an okay experience. I'd consider coming back for the coffee, though next time I might just place a to-go order.
