  • "Service was so slow. Took a really long time to get our food."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The gnocchi in the white alfredo sauce was superb."

  • "The food was outstanding and service impeccable."
  • "The good- their pizza. It's wood fired. Very good."

  • "The food is absolutely delicious every single time!"
  • "The food, staff and atmosphere were amazing. The Paninis where off the carts and so was the service."

Cons:

  • "Pricing is incredibly ridiculous. $13 for a buffalo chicken wrap no side and barely any chicken."
  • "The Panini sandwiches were dry."
  • "Then wife’s tried her dish and her pasta sauce was too tangy and was like tomato paste instead of sauce in her rigatoni."
  • "2 people ordered paninis, and they were disappointed, definitely not enough meats between the bread."
  • "The meat was grey, and extremely greasy... NO seasoning at all. I mean AT ALL. Not even salt."
  • "The 2 slices of eggplant were paper thin which then makes the panini mostly bread with a thick amount of cheese."

  • "Great food for a great price!"
  • "The food is of good quality."

Cons:

  • "The prices seemed high for what we were about to experience."
  • "Spending $19 on a panini, you would think you'd get a bit more for your money."
  • "We ordered almost $90 worth of food which was a bit much in my perspective for the quality and service we received."
  • "Still was $52 a person when evenly split includes 20% added for a large party and convenience fee because some (not all) used a credit card."
  • "PS:- $18.00 for lunch was a bit pricey for a gnocchi pasta, but as mentioned it was bloody amazing..."
  • "Their website charges you a $1 convenience fee and it doesn't explicitly say that anywhere until checkout."
  • "The La Torre eggplant stack was just bad, and overpriced... We also tried the crab cakes. Another miss."
