As…read moresoon as I walked in the door I was transported from Abilene TX to a boutique ristorante somewhere in Tuscany. The vibes were immaculate from the stunning decor to the chill music, it was giving Sunday afternoon on a Friday at 10:00 am. Chef Alex let me sample the Lemon Basil Chicken Salad which was truly elevated and delicious. (Best I've ever had, by a landslide) so I had to order it on the crescent. I also had the Italiano Panini which was an explosion of flavor! It paired perfectly with the cold pasta salad which effortlessly balances flavors of harissa, black olive, and sweet cherry tomatoes with just enough hint of spice to awaken the senses and make you crave more. Chef Alex does not miss! Believe it or not, the most amazing thing about this place is not the ambiance or the food. What drew me in and will keep me coming back over and over again is the fact that the owners Chef Alex and his wife April have captured the feeling you get when visiting a small family owned restaurant in Italy. The personal service, charismatic interaction with the chef, and a sense of the passion they bring to every detail of your experience! Especially the food. They are genuine and hard working and deserve all the success in the world!

I've eaten at Jersey Mikes Subs in the Dallas area, but this is my first time at the Abilene store…read more Jersey Mike's is definitely one of the better sandwich shops. The special they are running right now is the #2 sub, chips, and drink for $10.99. An excellent sub and an excellent value. The Abilene store is quite small, so the seating area is very crowded. You are definitely back to back with the next table, so getting it to go might be a better idea. Again, great food and I'm glad they finally made it to Abilene.

You'll receive a warm smile when you walk in and when they drop your food off at your table. Fresh bread, veggies, fruit! It felt so peaceful in there. Genuinely such a gem.

I will say there is a similar concept down the street, but I must emphasize that STK won me over. Will happily be back soon!

Hickory Street Cafe 5 stars February 22, 2023 Me and my Aunt arrived before 11am and already people were waiting for the door to open. Hickory Street Cafe is a cute 1 1/2 story cottage style cafe refurbished into a small restaurant. Each room inside seats 2-4 tables. We sat in what May have once been the dining room. Placed our order around 11:05 and lunch hit the table at 11:09. Seriously swift service. We both ordered the chicken salad. Mine was on the croissant sandwich. The service was great, food was amazing. And I absolutely must recommend the zucchini bread. It was fantastic.
