| - My "secondi" visit, was much more enjoyable than my first and for several reasons. For one the company, the food a close second, and rounding out the accolades - much improved service; especially the spirit of our server.
Perhaps a sunny morning is a better time to find smiles all around, then an in between lunch and dinner lull - when everyone needs a good coffee. Va bene.
Speaking of which this they have and in spades. I was recommended, and followed suit with a cup o' Macchiatoni (has more of a ring to it than Joe, *not sure if I have the spelling right, but is supposedly a tall Macchiato).
On the grub side of things, I happened to see someone eating what looked like a frittata, but turned out to be a signature omelette with eggplant, spinach, zucchini, onions, and brick cheese (white), plus sliced tomatoes and olive oil on the side (I usually ask for them instead of potatoes, but here it gladly just is). Before overdoing the focus on the omelette. Its ingredients were very refreshing - as you rarely find that combo elsewhere. I'd get it again and recommend it for sure.
The only petite woops, was my toasted bagel on the side was forgotten, however it came right out after I reminded the server.
In true Italian fashion my breakfast mate (who had recently taken a barista'ing course) ordered a second coffee before heading out. I felt a little un-Italian, but was pleased that my hand was not shaking from the caffeine
As I work my way up to multiple cafés, Gentile Café definitely is at the ready.
Now I guess I've got to try them for dinner too. Ciao.
