    Panini is huge. I can only finished half of it. Soup is great, you should ask for it.

    Do yourself a favor and get the green beans, the crostini with spicy mayo/goat cheese/smoked bacon, or the Weekend debris brunch panini.

    To find the restroom light, face the entrance (with the door open), walk two steps in and the switch is on the right wall near the corner.

    Go to Il Bambino and try the smoked tomato bisque when it's chilly outside. Then try a sampling of the extraordinary Italian crostinis. Truffled egg salad with shaved speck for the win! Read more

    personally, I don't get the hype. service was very slow considering there were only two other tables seated, and everything that was ordered was either weird or not good. maybe skip this place.
