| - This place is amazing (part of the Terroni family). It is a great addition to the financial district core offering a variety of food options, such as salads, sandwiches, breads, pizzas, hot food items, desserts, drinks and your caffeine fix.
The interior of this place is beautiful. To the uninitiated, when you walk in, you're a bit confused. On the ground floor your eyes will likely gravitate to the bar, the high ceilings and in your peripheral vision, you will see the glorious bread wall. Is it a restaurant? Yes, but the restaurant is upstairs. On the ground floor you get your caffeine fix, alcohol (at the bar), and to-go food items (go to the bread wall). If you opt to buy their to-go food items, you can sit on the ground floor (they provide cutlery and water) - highly recommended to dine in because this place is beautiful.
I came here on a Friday around 1pm to eat lunch. While it wasn't packed, there was a good amount of people sitting to eat and a good flow of people coming in and out. I went straight for the bread wall. If you're buying a lot of items and you're going to eat in, grab a food tray before you begin.
After much deliberation I opted for some type of sandwich ($6.50). It was like a very crispy flat bread (which I believe they make in-house) and in between were arugula, prosciutto and cheese, and cherry tomatoes. For dessert, I ordered a bombolone ($3) with crema filling. The best way to describe a bombolone is an Italian doughnut.
Both were satisfying but I wish the filling in the bombolone had more flavour. Next time, I'll try the bombolone filled with hazelnut filling. However, the texture of the bombolone itself was very nice, light, had a moist interior and optimal amount of chew.
I will be back for more Friday lunches.
