| - My husband and I came for lunch on 6/22. It was our first time here and like many others, we saw the amazing Yelp reviews, so decided to try it out. It seems to be one of those small, intimate, everyone knows who you are type of places. When we walked in it wasn't too busy and every head turned to look at us when we entered. We sat at a table and ordered 2 glasses of wine, my husband ordered the meatball sub, per the recommendation of who I believe was the owner? My husband was debating between meatballs or eggplant. I ordered the TNT sub with the mayo and dressing on the side. Both sandwiches came with fries. My sandwich had the mayo on it and on the side. Not a huge deal just meant the hubby couldn't try it, he can't do mayo. The food was really good, and my husband really enjoyed the meatballs, the only thing I could think of to make my sandwich even better, would be to offer or serve it with a side of giardiniera! We're from the East Coast, MA and RI, it's really hard to find really good authentic Italian Food that we are used to eating. I'm a little disappointed in the service. We really wanted a Canoli, and were also contemplating tiramisu (my husband's favorite) but we were never given the opportunity to order any. The male server came over with our bill, handed it to my husband and said, I'll take that when you're ready. Then he literally stood there and waited for my husband to pay it. Could I have asked to order dessert? Sure. But honestly, from the start, it felt as if we were outsiders and didn't feel very welcome. Small talk was being made at every table but ours. I wasn't about to ask if we could order dessert, the waiter made it seem like he was ready for us to leave, so we did. The food is top notch, but I'm not sure I care to come back.
