| - I was soooo excited that they opened a location closer to me. When I finally made it in for lunch, I ordered the classic porchetta sandwich and both arancini balls. The sandwich bread was extra crispy, like hard to chew crispy and the porchetta was dry despite being dredged in an oily herb sauce. After the first few bites, I did not feel like I was on the streets of Italy, so they claim - all I felt was heavy grease dripping down my hands oozing from the other end of my sandwich.
The arancini tasted like it was sitting out for a while and was not crispy at all, like arancini should be. The filling was worse, mostly all rice, barely any cheese, very bland and they didn't even have a sauce to help it along. What a disappointment. Overpriced imo, especially since there are more competitive, student friendly sandwich spots in that area. All that sadness plus a drink costed $25. It's a cool concept, I wanted to love this place, can't say I did; still, lots of potential contingent upon improvements.
