Michelin Travel & Lifestyle: Reinvented classics soar, especially baked clams, rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and chocolate layer cake. – Green Guide Editor
Jordan Fox: The hulking veal parm is amazing. Worth it.

Stella Kim: Leoni sandwich is so bomb !
Avin Narasimhan: Solid egg and cheese sandwich, the best latte I've found in the area, and overall just a great space. Despite location, it's somehow still almost all locals from BPC
