The pasta here is the real deal. Had the cacio e pepe and it was perfectly al dente, creamy without being heavy. Just the right amount of pepper. That&#39;s what I come for.

Love this old-school Italian bakery. Their sfogliatelle is the real deal - flaky, not too sweet, and the filling is just right. The espresso is strong and perfect with it. Gets busy on Saturday mornings, but the line moves fast.

Been coming here for years. The portions are still huge, you definitely get a lot for your money. It&#39;s one of the main reasons I keep coming back.

The snickerdoodle cookie is warm and soft in the middle. The deluxe salted caramel is also fantastic.

The breakfast potatoes were really good - crispy outside and nice flavor. Service was friendly and quick. A solid spot for a casual breakfast.

Tried their lunch special. It&#39;s a solid deal for classic Indian food. Portions are big, and you can ask them to adjust the spice. My curry was just right.

Been coming here for years. The clam pizza is what keeps me coming back. Fresh clams, crispy crust, salty in a good way. It&#39;s just different and really hits the spot.

Loved the outdoor patio for our summer dinner. Perfect spot to catch the breeze and relax with friends. The setting really made the evening.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The clam chowder was really good, probably the best I&#39;ve had in a while. The martini was solid too. Staff was friendly.

Jack and Ciara were super helpful. They knew the menu inside out and made some great suggestions.

The train display up front is a cool touch. It&#39;s a fun spot that feels like a local landmark. Food was solid, service was efficient. Good for a casual meal.

nothing to write home about food was bland and tasteless

Fun retro spot with old movies playing. The grab-and-go pastry counter is a smart setup for a quick coffee.

The space is really well done, with a warm, inviting vibe. I love the mix of exposed brick and those comfy leather booths &ndash; it just feels like a place you can settle in for a while. The lighting is perfect, not too dim or bright.

Great veggie spot. The aroma hits you as soon as you walk in. The place was packed with everyone from families to students. My only gripe? The wine list was a bit limited for a menu this robust. Still, found a decent Pinot Noir that worked.
