    Each sandwich comes with lemony zuppa di pollo made daily with chickens from next door or a salad of crunchy romaine, arugula, & radicchio dressed with Gio's mom's lemon & olive oil vinaigrette. Read more

    Chicken Parm Sandwich: They've jettisoned bready bakery rolls in favor of crisp flatbread from its own pizza oven. The difference is like night and day, and this sloppy sandwich rules the roost. Read more

    Di Palma developed his own "Westside Italian bread" - it's crusty, but the interior is both dense & chewy. It's fantastic sandwich bread with enough heft to hold hearty selections. Read more

    Love the gelato, but get lots of napkins. They need bigger cups...the stuff is delicious, but melts all over the place before you can eat it.

    Nice totally Italian cafe. Back portion offers gelateria (gelato bar), pastries and coffee. My cream puff was terribly expensive but it was a real quality Italian pastry,

    Espresso Brûlée may be my single favorite dessert in Atlanta. Biggest thumbs up. If my thumbs were bigger…

    You can't get samples of the gelato so if you get a flavor you don't like you are stuck with it.

    The Genovese sandwich is as close to what I've always loved about the delis in Hoboken. It all starts with great bread!

    Pay first, then pick out your ice cream! (This confused me for a second!)
