Wonderful little cafe/sandwich place! I had the Salmone sandwich and it was delicious, my husband had the Italiano sandwich. Half of the sandwich we packed up for lunch. The server was very attentive and fun. Our cappuccino tasted like it came straight from Italy. What a treat – thank you for a fabulous way to start the day.

Delicious pizzas (Nicola and Bruna are favorites). Great staff. Amusing bathroom art. And their specials are great, too; had some fantastic gnocchi, and a lemon tiramisu that I still dream about. If only they served it regularly.

Better than the actual restaurant, without the wait, and a layout more amenable to meeting people. Seafood charcuterie board quality was top notch and so was the price. This place gets it; the food is the thing that gets us ordering more glasses of wine

Amazing sibling to Buona Forchetta. Very relaxed atmosphere, great staff, good wine list, and the food is absolutely delicious. The ‘small’ meat and cheese board is huge and the paninis are substantial enough to split if your not too hungry.

Wildly inconsistent. Been coming here since they opened and the only constant has been unreliable service. The layout has been confusing and unwelcoming since the most recent remodel, with a few unusable bar seats where ordering takes place and a single server, often overwhelmed. Decided it was time to write in today after the Porchetta came with the same prosciutto cotto as the Italiono (rather than actual porchetta) and no chimichurri as listed on menu. Menu also listed cocktails which are no longer available, but at least that was communicated when ordering rather than sandwiches which were ordered to go and not discovered until home. Stars given solely because the Buona Forchetta adds substantially to our community and the pizza dough sandos are not to be found elsewhere.

Stop by for a glass of wine, casual lunch or evening appetitive.

Super chill place to just sit and have a drink, although their sandwiches are pretty good, too, so if you come on an empty stomach, you’re covered. The South Park is my personal favorite.

Seems like it was lovely before, but it’s been gutted by the owners. Most of the dishes and drinks are unavailable, the staff seem confused by what the shop is supposed to be and the owners decided not to tell anybody they’ve scrapped this place while keeping the doors open. Bizarre behavior, incompetent management.

Waitress pretty much ignored our party. She told us it’s first come first serve and she’s got some tables in front of us before she could help us. She never even came and cleaned the dirty table we sat at left by the previous customers. Not sure what her name is, but terrible service!

VEGANS: I went here as it was reopening from the covid closure so it had a limited menu. It was AMAZING. They have a vegan section for each type of menu item. I got the vegan mushroom penne and the sauce was light and flavorful and they weren’t stingy with the mushrooms and fresh herbs. It was almost better the next day with a little nutritional yeast (you know what I’m sayin vegans??) as the olive oil had separated out a bit so to kind of blend it back together. The fresh bread was super good too.
