This place is amazing! I love most of their olive products and buy their EVOO by the gallon!
Lunch was incredible. had one of the paninis with a glass of chianti. gelato is yummy. Best of all there are alot of cool local products to shop for. Make a day of it.
I go there for the olive oil , NOT THE FOOD .
When my father and I tried the food we were sadly let down !!
I ordered the Lucca and it had one slice of turkey on the sandwich.
My father ordered the Sevi and it had maybe a tablespoon of chicken salad on the sandwich ..
when I went to asked the woman at the counter about the absence of food on our sandwiches the lady said that they are know for their olive oil not their food !!
I had a Mermosa (it came in a plastic cup with a lid and a straw )
My father had a iced coffee that was so weak and watered down .
I so want them to succeed with this expansion of the restaurant but with food and service like this it won’t last long
