Constantine FrantzeskosAugust 24, 2010It's amazingly great - have either the sandwich or plate with potatoes and black cherry soda. Heaven on earth.
Solid porchettas but just a step below the one at Eataly.
Classic porchetta sandwich & chicory salad (dressing = super garlicky) to go.

if you're feeling really hungry, get the potatoes and burnt ends on the side. the crispy bits, ooh, the crispy bits- The crispy potatoes with burnt ends may be one of the best food-things on earth.

DeborahJune 26, 2012The porchetta was a disappointment. The bread was super hard and not enough crackling. Meat and bread's porchetta sandwich is way better. Go to Vancouver and try it!

"Still has the old NY feel, it's a great spot to people watch or hang out in the nice weather with a book. Plenty of good food and bars around. Beautiful in the spring and home to a family of Hawks"
