Just discovered this place last week – i had their melon and prosciutto at a party – so good – had to check this place out!! Tried the eggplant and ziti meal with hummingbird cake for dessert – so yummy!! Also tried the Bianco’s chicken tips – very good – went today and got the chicken cutlets with veggies – omg!! Cutlets amazing!!

Had their famous mile high apple pie for Thanksgiving, warmed up- it is really fresh and delicious and not overly sweet. I’m not sure if I would get it on a regular but definitely for a holiday party.

Wanted to buy local. Got my kids up and out to buy bagels for 7 of us. Waited in line only to be told that they limit take-out bagels to three “so if other people want breakfast sandwiches they’ll have them”. Who gives a hoot whether it’s me or someone else buying your product, you’re still making money! They said they’d make an exception but I’m not going to buy from a place where I’m scolded for not following the rules – which seem arbitrary at best. I won’t go back and I’ll be sure to share my experience far and wide. Very disappointing. P.S. Spent my money at a giant national chain who didn’t care how many bagels I wanted. Probably spent a lot less than I would have at Periwinkle’s.
