Since it was so early I was able to run in and park at one of the meter spots since they don't have parking. I think there is a lot next door. Unfortunately they only had one girl working the front and a chef in the back. I'd think for a weekend shift they would have two up front. I had to wait a little extra longer than expected when I had already paid and was far past my pick up time. The space seemed small but did have a handful of people. When I was leaving I realized there was a whole back part for seating. Not sure if I'd come back again considering I don't think their espresso machine has ever worked and breakfast sandwich was fair. Lots of great options on the menu though!

Classic small diner setup, black and white checkerboard floors, and you can sit at the barstools by the grill and watch them cook your breakfast.

The staff is super friendly and attentive, whole place has that welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back. It's the kind of spot you try once and already know you'll be back. If you get a chance in the late afternoon, check out Patrick's next door for a bar vibe. Both places do not disappoint.

When I first saw her go back behind the counter after sitting there playing with her, writing things down, sipping her coke and talking to an elderly man customer. She walked right behind that counter and just started preparing food. NO GLOVES!!!!! She then drove a customer home (very nice of her) but she came back and started food immediately... at least she put on gloves this time. When she made my food, she reached right into the container of walnuts (NO GLOVES) and sprinkled some into the pancake batter. I don't remember seeing a grade in the window. Health dept probably never goes by! I'm sure this is fine for cooking at home for your family, but disgusting when you're serving the public. I felt like I was gonna throw up the whole time. I left most of the food on the plate. Also, my side of butter with the pancakes had lint and hair in it.

The charm is in its no-fuss interior with Sicilian accents, Italian sodas, and a few imported products that make you feel like you stumbled into a Sons of Italy gathering at the VFW in 1975. The name implies seafood, but that seems more of a nod to the Italian island than a specialty food. There were not a lot of pastry selections, but the cake slices that were there looked good and there was a limited, fresh menu including a lovely caprese panini we got To Go. This is not a hipster barista latte art remote work kind of place, but it is certainly a unique retro experience and obviously a neighborhood gem that has stood the test of time. Bene.

While the food was great, the service wasn't as welcoming. They did not come to check in or refill my coffee like they were to others. Whether that is because of me dining alone, me coming close to closing time or due to my race, I guess we will never know. I did go up to the counter request more coffee and a to-go box.
