Probably the best thing about this place. The food is good, but far from great. Especially for the price. But hey they will give you plenty of pickles haha So yeah this place is fine - but nothing mind blowing

I haven't been to Fromin's in a while and decided to stop by while news in the area…read more The greeting I received was top notch. Totally smiling and welcoming. My booth seating was very comfortable. I started with the matzo ball soup. I have to say it was gigantic - I could have made it an entire meal. But I managed to save room for a pastrami sandwich. Their pastrami is my favorite meal. Really fresh rye bread loaded with tender and perfectly seasoned pastrami. Even though I was rather full from the soup I had no problem finishing off the delicious pastrami sandwich. Parking here is always good. If their lot is full there is plenty of street parking. I try and stop by here every time I'm nearby.

I have one main truth - regardless of whether I've already had dinner, if slices of pizzas…read moreavailable nearby, my pizza stomach will accommodate them. And this is how it was one night after eating dinner at another restaurant nearby...the enticing-looking slices at Gjelina Take Away beckoned, and I answered the call. Considering Gjelina proper is one of the more difficult restaurants to get into if you don't plan in advance, being able to get a taste of their deliciousness at the adjacent take-away version is a gift to us all. Their Pomodoro pie (think perfectly thin and crispy crust, generous size, and tomatoes galore on top) looked out of control, so we got a slice. Add burrata cheese? Oh, yes, please do that. And they did, and we ended up with this glorious Naples / NYC slice fusion that delighted my post-dinner pizza joie de vivre. There is plenty for vegetarians at Gjelina Takeaway, including some delights from the main Gjelina menu, other slices, and more. Oh, Gjelina Take Away - we took away...and we will keep it with us...always.

Everything was timely, from seating, to ordering to drink and meal delivery. The Peachie Spritz is delicious and not too sweet. The Barbacoa Hash short rib may be my favorite on the menu. The meat is tender and juicy with the bowl topped with an egg. I also had the Churro Waffle that I had planned to save at least half for later. I felt bad for eating the entire freakin' thing but it coudn't be helped. It's so good.

The pizza is killer, and they have a buy one, get one free deal which is honestly kind of insane for how good it is. But the surprise for me was the salmon plate. Really good, generous, and the prices overall are super reasonable. Love finding a neighborhood spot like this, especially one I somehow didn't know existed. Definitely going into the regular rotation!

I'm an OG Ciccero's customer. They had one menu item I was partial to in either the late 90's or…read moreearly 2000's, which was a shrimp salad with noodles, on a bed of lettuce, vegetables, and the biggest grilled shrimp you would ever see. It was my go to, and it was delicious. I was prepared to give Ciccero's another try via a delivery app and 5-stars, but unfortunately, I noticed a discrepancy after I posted my initial review. I ordered The Original Burger with fries ($1 extra for fries) and the Santa Fe Shrimp Salad with garlic bread and a soda. Upon receipt of my order, I decided to try my salad first. It was good. Romaine lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, shredded cheese, corn, grape tomatoes, jumbo grilled shrimp (cooked perfectly) - no red pepper or red onions for me. My salad was fresh, crisp and delicious. I ate a good 3/4 of it. The garlic bread is a great accompaniment. I saw another review from someone who also ordered a Santa Fe Salad. I noticed black beans on their salad. There weren't any on mine. I went back to the menu. They were supposed to put jicama (which I love) in my salad. No jicama. The other reviewer's portion was heaping. Mine was not. My salad looked like an afterthought compared to theirs. My food wasn't free, so there is no reason the portions should not be consistent for all customers. If this is how Ciccero's operates, count me out. As for the burger, I do not like the way it was dressed. The patty was huge. They should've put the lettuce, tomatoes and pickles underneath the patty, because whenever I went to take a bite, the burger fell apart. This was after I cut it in half. The fries are not regular fries, but potato wedges. Very good, but not what was pictured nor what I expected. Ciccero's has some changes to make if they want to continue to solicit orders on delivery apps.

The chefs are cooking delicious hot foods from India and Mexico, from biryanis to burritos on homemade flour tortillas. They are baking from scratch great French Baguettes daily (and selling them for only $2.00 each). And, on those lovely baguettes they are making fantastic deli sandwiches and selling them for less than nine dollars each. High-quality Boarshead meats and cheeses are used. I had a moist, tender and flavorful Italian meatball sub with a yummy homemade marinara and melted provolone cheese on one of those baguettes and it was about 8" long! I ended up having three meals from it. The large blackboard with sandwich and salad offerings gives you an idea of what to order. United Kitchen is open from 9 to 9 for coffee and espresso drinks, and you can treat yourself to a fresh almond croissant to go with your drink, or if juices and smoothies are your morning jam they have plenty of them, too. There's lots of ready-made sides, like cubed watermelon ($2.00) and rice pudding. There will be wine and beer served from the lounge in the near future. Front umbrella patio tables. Parking in back is free and you can enter from the back. This is a new business so come on in, support their endeavors and you'll be rewarded with a very friendly welcome.

The pizza had a nice, crisp crust--not floppy, with plenty of good ingredients/flavor. They also offer a few different salads, which is a nice option.

For these prices, I expected the usual quality and flavor. Lack of flavor, ingredients are not the same, slice was thinner, crust was burnt, no more avocado or nice slices of tomato on the salad pizza. I am truly heartbroken. For $23, I could've attempted to recreate this recipe at home and would've probably done a better job. No more Abbot's pizza for me.

I don't know why it's taken me this long to write a review for the MV Grab & Go but here we are!…read more This is a regular spot for us whenever we are craving something fast and easy (and absolutely delicious) for breakfast. I get the breakfast burrito every single time and every single time it is one of the most delicious things I have eaten. The people are always super nice and bring our food out to us insanely fast! The outdoor eating area is where we always sit and it's a really cozy spot to enjoy your food, drink some coffee, and read a book or get some work done. It is also usually very clean out there for an outdoor spot surrounded by trees, which is obviously appreciated. There are a lot of other amazing menu items as well, I just stick to the same thing because it's so damn good. I highly recommend coming here- we come at least once a month if not more!

Greens were wilted / old, the falafel was stale like it had been sitting out, flavorless as a whole which I find unusual, since I normally love this salad even though it's expensive ($19.25 each for falafel and greens w/ cucumbers and tomatoes). There was a ton of watery liquid at the base of the salad that was really off putting...had to throw it out. Probably won't eat/order from here again.
