    Super grilled cheese sandwich. Substitute a small bib salad for the fries for fewer carbs and great flavor and texture combo. I accompany with iced tea with orange instead of lemon. Yum!

    Get the calamari. Pork & greens sandwich was delicious too!! I'll be back soon to try more of the menu. Atmosphere is great...as soon as you walk in you don't feel like you're in Newark.

    Amazing experience from start to finish. 18 beers and three wines (2 reds and a white) on tap. The grilled artichokes are so simple and so good. Dessert was awesome. Interior is absolutely gorgeous!

    Braised pork is awesome... fall off the bone. Artichoke app is grilled heaven. And donut dessert is yum. Finally a Philly-like place in Delaware.

    The ricotta cheese appetizer. We had a sampling of all their desserts and they were amazing, especially the cheesecake.

    The Calamarata (chicken pasta) and Spinach Ricotta Agnolotti are my favorites! Grilled cheese is great for lunch.

    Our most recent experiences here haven't been that great. Lasagna special came out burnt & was a very small portion for $20+. Texture of the meatballs in the appetizer was way off - too mushy.
