I'm always on the hunt for a good eggplant Parm sandwich, but unfortunately, Rosalia's Deli just…read moredidn't hit the mark for me. The eggplant was really soggy, and the whole sandwich was lacking that crispiness I was hoping for. It wasn't quite what I wanted. On the bright side, the marinara sauce was pretty solid--not too sour or tangy, and it had good flavor, but the sandwich itself was just missing something. It wasn't my favorite. That said, they do have a lot of other options on the menu, and I'll probably give them another shot. This time around, the only other thing we tried was the gelato, and that was amazing. You can tell it was fresh, and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. The deli has a good amount of seating, but it does get really busy during lunch rush, so just a heads-up. You can pre-order if you want to skip the line, which is a nice option. They've got pizzas, pastas, salads, subs--the whole lineup--so I might come back to try something else, but the eggplant Parm sandwich? Probably not.

I was hoping for a little bit sweeter, it was kind of bland to me. We had their popcorn chicken and crab rangoon for appetizers. The popcorn chicken was tasty but the pieces were really small. Entrees we had pad Thai, eel/beef cubed and rice, and some others I can't remember the names. Overall everything came out pretty quickly. Our server was nice as we were one the last customers and we didnt feel rushed. The chicken pad Thai wasn't my favorite its flavor profile wasn't as strong and sweet as I am used to. The teriyaki chicken was actually good as the chicken wasn't overcooked. If I'm in the area I would stop by again.

When I went on a Sunday evening to pick up, it was a modern, cleanly designed interior with several tables of patrons dining in. The carry-out service was pretty quick as I live about ten minutes away, so the food was ready in a little less than twenty minutes. The crab Rangoons we shared were super stuffed, but I wished there was a little bit more tang in the sweet and sour sauce. All in all, we enjoyed this meal and will be frequenting it often for pho!

You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

Zenwich - Tasty Food, Lacking Warmth…read more My family and I recently visited Zenwich and tried a little bit of everything--two sandwiches and two rice bowls. Let's start with the good: the sandwiches were delicious, with standout bread that really elevated the meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip just for them, they were definitely enjoyable and well-executed. The rice bowls earned a solid 7.5 from my husband and son. Flavorful and filling, but maybe missing that little extra something to make them truly memorable. Where Zenwich unfortunately fell flat was the customer service. We visited around 5 PM on a Friday and there was only one person working. Not only were we not greeted when we walked in, but we stood at the counter for several minutes without even being acknowledged. I even saw another customer politely thank the staff member after asking for a napkin, and he didn't so much as look up in response. It left the whole experience feeling impersonal. If the service matched the quality of the food, this would've easily been a four-star visit. With just a bit more effort in the hospitality department, Zenwich could really shine.

Came here for dinner with some friends and had a really nice experience overall…read more Our waiter was very attentive and informative, which always makes a difference. I started with the Solstice Spritz -- he mentioned it was on the sweeter side, and it honestly had the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. Not overly sugary, just really well done. For an appetizer, we got the best (in my opinion), the wild mushroom toast. This location uses softer bread compared to others, and the appetizer had a slight kick to it that made it even better. Definitely a standout dish. I also tried the espresso martini, which was made with Baileys. It was strong but good -- smooth with that rich espresso flavor coming through. For my entrée, I had the butternut squash risotto. It was okay, but I felt like it could've used a bit more sauce or an extra layer of flavor. I ended up adding more parmesan, which helped elevate it a little. The inside of this location is really nice -- different from the other locations I've been to, but in a good way. The ambiance definitely added to the experience.

I've been here twice now and both times the ramen did not disappoint! However, I hate that you have to pay $1-3 for additional toppings.

It was pretty good, however the chicken is hard to cut into pieces while eating. Wish it was cut up for you because there just huge chunks of it! Overall, it's a clean restaurant, the ramen is good, and the service is quick.

I didn't see anything on the menu about the tip being included. Honestly the service was terrible and the food mediocre.

It came with Hashies, which I asked to be "Burnt" ( I and Wife like our HashBrowns to be crispy, crispy, crispy!) They came out exactly as I like them--most folks would send them back, but not I. With ketchup and too much salt, a perfect compliment to the fab Omelette. Groovy Greek Toast as well. Perfect throw on the Diet Peps. The decor was attractive and the service was spot on.

For the main we had the Caesar Salad and the Prosciutto/Arugula Roman pizza. I love a fluffy savory pizza and this one hit the spot. Service was decent. When we arrived we were told that the dining room would have a 45-minute wait but the bar was open. We opted for the bar. Obviously, when seated at the bar you have some trade-offs. It was a bit noisy and the bartenders and hustling to care for everyone, not just you so it was a bit slower. Not a bad thing, just something that was noted. Parking is street and wasn't too bad for a Friday night! All in all would absolutely recommend!

It was a great spot to stop for a bite while checking out the area!
