| - If I had to miss one place about the CMU dining plan, it would be this place (and La Prima Espresso). They are on the pricey side (about $10-12 for a panini), but with with a CMU block or Dinex, this is a perfect place for lunch. Just prepare for a long line during lunch especially Monday-Fridays.
My favorite panini (and the most expensive one) has to be the Proscuitto w/ Mozzarella, Tomato, and Basil Pesto. Also recommended are the Roast Beef or Turkey w/ Asiago panini. Each panini comes with a side salad dressed with vinegar.
Besides their paninis, Tazzo D'oro also offers freshly baked pastries. You can see them baking right on the premises.
My favorites:
Apple tart - One of their most popular items along with the Chocolate croissant. Grab on one of these if you can. Love the caramelized apples on top and the crispy, yet flaky pastry underneath.
Chocolate croissant - they fill the croissant with so much chocolate that the part that spills out of the flaky croissant forms into a hard candy-like substance
Chocolate chip cookie - huge, gooey, and addicting
I don't drink coffee, but they make a decent hot chocolate and hot apple cider. They also offer various teas and a soup of the day. Get there early if you want soup, because that sells out even faster than the pastries.
