Jeff Wittich: Excellent selection of pre-made foods like rotisserie chicken and large variety of vegetables
Vance Harper: Always the best selection of fine foods from local to global -- particularly olive oil... Ask for a guided tasting by one of the friendly buyers.
Bravo: For those certain food items you just cant find anywhere else, from stocks to gelatin sheets. -Tim Nugent, Top Chef Just Desserts

Ellen McGrody: Amazing pizza place! Lovely, crumbly crust, wonderful atmosphere, and great service!
Cameron Wilson: Four of us shared a large meatball appetizer and a large Telegraph deep dish pizza. Amazing value, absolutely delicious.
Matt Opsahl: Sat at the bar on a quiet Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the zucchini flat crust pizza, which was just enough for two. Delicious! Would like to come back for a date night for pizza and beer/cocktails.

Lee Scharf: Everything was amazing but the Rigatoni with Pork Ragu is especially ridiculous!!!
Ashley Mowrey: Get the gin and tonic and pizza with nettles or chanterelles. Everything is so damn good. Get in when they first open, no need to be picky about when you eat, just get in when you can.
Adelin Cai: Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.

Fik Saleh: Great value on the all-you-can-eat buffet available for lunch (weekdays) and Tue & Wed nights. Everything from the pizza, sandwiches, and wings is good. Must try the Garlic Twists!
Brian Strauss: So much greasier than I remember as a child but the Sicilian Pizza is fire.
Auintard H.: Convenient location. Never any good specials up
Jaymoola: Try the sunrise skillet...its a good breakfast choice
Alan H: Not amazing, but very decent and reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong with curly fries. The pancakes are filling and tasty. I also had the French dip sandwich, which was okay; the bread seemed wrong.
Leilani Wand: No it was not good. I had the California tuna it was dry on the edges and probably not fresh. Made me ill. Hours later I threw up and I am still on the throne as of now. I shall never go back.

Debbie Lee: great happy hour! tasty cocktails and delish pizzas--you can't go wrong!
Tom Walter: The calamari pizza was incredible! But the piece de resistance was the vanilla ice cream covered in a balsamic vinegar reduction and sea salt! Amazing!
Brian Strauss: A neighborhood standard. Good to have is back. Besides the pizza, the baked rigatoni is outstanding, as are the cocktails.
