Deano's is a great place if you want fresh or dried pasta. They are open 7 days a week…read more They have ziti, fusilli, shells, ziti, rigatoni, gemelli, malfadi and cavatelli to name a few. Some you can get dried some fresh. They also have quite a few varieties of sauces, many varieties of ravioli, stuffed shells (which I buy and store in the freezer for those nights I don't want to cook). I throw them in a casserole with some sauce and mozzarella cheese and dinners ready in no time. You can also buy their pasta and sauces at your favorite market. Their website shows what markets sell their pasta. This is a family run business so quality of their product never varies. They have been making pasta since 1947. Their pasta has the perfect chew when eating. After you eat their pasta you will never buy that store brand again!

I just had a little salad with micro greens that are bitter,green pear,snap peas and green onions. Nothing fancy. I drizzled on my new products... OMG GAME CHANGER! Wow! It was like it was sweet. It was tart. It tasted like a Restaurant quality. I'm so thrilled that I get to have this as many times as I want thank you. I don't remember your name the owner but wow I hit the mother lode with this purchase never been so happy, eating a salad.

I stopped by this store one day this week since I happened to be in the area. Upon entering I was…read moreimmediately greeted by one of the owners, who was very welcoming and said to ask him if I had any questions. As the name implies, the store's speciality is olive oil, and you can sample a wide variety of oils and vinegars. If that's not your forte, don't worry because the store has plenty more to offer. I spent a long time just browsing the store because it's beautifully arranged. Even though it's fairly small, they make good use of the space. You can get locally made ice cream and honey, as well as kitchenware imported from all over the world. I found a very cute Christmas gift for my mom. There also sell cheeses, spices, teas, hot sauces - a lot more than I can list. Easily accessible whether you're driving or using public transit. There's street parking in many places along Beacon Street and the shop is right next to the Summit Avenue stop on the C branch of the Green Line.

Easiest 5 stars ive ever given. We were here for a raclette and fondue class that was after hours,…read moreso we were able to shop with no one else in the store!! I loved the cheese. Staff was so kind and answered all of our questions. I left with many many things of cheese! We tried the cookies and chocolates, some premade goods, some shelf-stable things, and of course, cheese. My one complaint was that they did not heat up raclette for us, rather gave us raclette cheese at room temperature. I think it wouldn't have been too much to ask for it to be cooked, since they were able to do that with the fondue. I wish there was a way to do the class without the wine pairing and save a few dollars... I would sign up much more often!!

For me, I rate this 4.5 stars as there's room for improvement…read more The PROS: - amazing meat & cheese quality - very generous portion size - flavorful - outdoor chairs to sit outside - friendly staff The CONS: - a fully split-thru subroll allows contents to fall out - lack of size options sm/md vs. lg - "hots" are listed but they're not "hots". They're hot peppers/banana peppers. True hots are the red hot relish spread/hoagie spread - It'd be fantastic if the sandwiches came with Scala Bread or had an option to. I love the sesame seeded bread I ordered the Italian, and again, the meat & cheese were fantastic. They were sliced thin, and full of flavorful. Drawbacks to the sandwich is that the lettuce was spilling out from the back, and the pickles were a bit thick and perhaps had a pungent taste. Maybe the solution is to slice the pickles thinner and have a more savory brine. Regardless, tasty and you'll get your fill.

I got the Chicken Parm Panini and was able to add both a lil vodka sauce and pesto on top, YUM! Not sure if offended the staff or Italians with that one. While you're waiting for your food to be prepared, they have a selection of packaged goods and cute trinkets/gifts. It makes the atmosphere all the more engaging and cute! I was SO close to buying these adorable pasta candles as well as some Pan di Stelle cookies...might need to swing back. My panini was delish! The breading they use on the chicken is the perfect texture and even with my 3 sauces, lol, it didn't get soggy. The bread was textbook as well, 0 complaints.

This was our first time coming here, and upon entering both the waiter and waitress were very…read morefriendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. There were a lot of options for food and it was hard to decide! They have everything from Shakshuka to their "croffle"! ( croffle- croissant waffle with different toppings) We shared a Nutella and hazelnut croffle, and had omelets. The croffle was incredible- very decadent- and the omelets were very generous with their portions and had toast and home fried potatoes! It's a small spot, but doesn't feel crowded at all overall great experience and would come back!

There's tables mostly for smaller groups, but they easily accommodated us and another large group. I ordered the fig prosciutto panini, which was admittedly smaller than what I was expecting but delicious for breakfast. Coffee saved me from my early morning flight too-- effective and tasty. I think my only knock was that I'd have hoped my particular dish was a bit more generous in portioning, but given a look at the other things my friends ordered, this looks like it's not necessarily the norm across dishes. Great quick bite-- parking is pretty easy on this street in the morning too, so I'd recommend!

Carlo's Cucina is a small hole in the wall restaurant serving up some really good food! We stopped…read moreby on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. Cozy spot, a bit squished but not soo much. The bread was really good. Some of the best bread I've had before a meal. Warm and just a little crunchy on the exterior. Our food came out in good time. We got a chicken parmigiana and a seafood pasta dish. Both were delicious. I've came here because I saw all the good reviews and recommendations, and was not disappointed!

Noticed Carlos Cucina on Yelp and decided to give it a try…read more It is a bit of a pain to get to, not right off the highway. Finally found it thanks to navigation. The parking is a bit tricking as it is in a downtown area and there is just parking on the street. Finally found parking not too far away. It is a rustic and pretty small restaurant. We were greeted right away and sat a table. It was rather late, so we just decided to order our entrees. I ordered Chicken Marsala and my husband Veal Parmesan. Entrees came in pretty short order and both entrees were huge! Veal and chicken were very tender. Sauce delicious. We got side of pasta. Very, very good. Worth the ride. We will definitely be going back!

I would go back just for that - crispy + slicing with scissors adds a whole other feel to it. I feel in control of my flatbread. Calamari was good but I'd choose the flatbread over anything. Can't go wrong with fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Emma didn't like the dill on there but I didn't mind. Enjoyed with a nice glass of white wine while we dined outside.

Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but it's super convenient to get to via the Green Line, which made it easy overall. For food, everything was delicious: The Romaine & Kale Caesar was good, though I wish it had whole anchovies for a little extra punch. The prosciutto bruschetta was incredible, definitely a standout. The crispy cauliflower was my favorite dish of the night, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni bolognese was solid and comforting. The Chianti-Marsala braised beef short rib was insanely tender and cooked perfectly (just wish there were a few more mushrooms!). Also have to mention the dirty martini was so good. Overall, such a great spot with a fun vibe, amazing service, and really tasty food. I'll definitely be back!

I traveled over an hour to get to this shop, as I had a recipe that required a flour that I could…read moreonly find at this shop. The price online was $6.50, but the gentleman at the counter charged me $8.95. When I asked about the discrepancy he said that online price was wrong. I travelled all that way so I paid the price that he gave me. I went to the website after I left to double-check, and I am still able to purchase it online for $6.50, so I don't think he was being honest. There was none of the flour that I was requesting up front, so he went to the back to get it. The bag he gave me is unlabeled, so now I am not even sure if I got the correct product, since I can't trust him. I was so happy to support a local business, but feel very taken advantage of. I can't speak to the quality of the products, they may be very good, but I can tell you that being lied to, does not feel great and does not make me want to come back to this shop.

It has a very cozy and unique feel, with a casual yet romantic atmosphere. The menu is set up to mix and match any pasta type and sauce - we ordered the penne pesto rosa (my favorite), caprese, and the fettuccine alfredo. The prices went up a couple dollars since our last visit but it's still affordable and big portions! It can get packed on a weekend night and seating can be a little squishy. They offer complimentary bread and butter upon arriving. Perfect for a casual and intimate date night, dinner with friends, or any occasion! Tiramisu dessert is tasty and the vegetarian weekday special pesto timballo (with eggplant) is amazing.

And the staff needs to be cloned cause we need more of these folks in the population. Only 1 complaint! And it's a big one....the young (person/ lady) I spoke with today was SO SWEET I think she gave me a cavity!!!! Seriously though I was frantic about something and she was calm, cool, collected and so competent the MINOR issue was quickly resolved. Thank you so much! Onto the food I primarily eat pescatarian, the chickpea tuna salad and buffaltarian mix and my all time fav the Thai peanut salad with extra, extra, EXTRA veggies (extra tofu and edamame too) and all the glorious sauce they can add. I have some great skills but not time management. There have been days that the Nutty Professor (breakfast is with cold brew, lunch with oat milk) and the Grasshopper with hemp protein and matcha have been the only thing to get me through. And they taste like DESSERT. Truly decadent and yummy. I am one of those folks who likes sweets but if I have it without some protein and fat, it just makes me queasy. Like I will eat a piece of cake with ice cream and think "YES" and 10 minutes later think "oh no, I gotta lay down" Sometime I get 4 shakes at once, drink 1 for breakfast, 1 for lunch freeze the other two.

I was shocked by how great the portion was! Although I didn't end up needing a cup...I would recommend getting one on the side :)
