They had an array of pastries to choose from, and you can also order cakes, including wedding cakes. My friend got a rum ball which she said was really good, and I got a pistachio raspberry tart; the pistachio cream and raspberry topping was delicious, but the tart shell was tough as old boots, to borrow a phrase from "The Great British Bakeoff": I couldn't cut it with either a knife or fork! They also sell a small array of grocery items from Poland, but not much in the way of ready-to-go beverages, which would have been nice to see.

I need to update the review, as Tutto Dolce now serves savory (dinner-type) Italian food as well as…read moreall the desserts I love, since their restaurant next door has closed. So the space here is mostly taken up with pizza boxes and a long food service table, with a narrowish aisle to order your food / desserts. They have meatballs; various pizza slices and whole pizzas (unlike the new place next door, they'll serve you slices all day); lasagna and manicotti. There are other things but I'm a vegetarian so I zone out the minute I see "sausage." Vegetarian? They default to a marinara red sauce and vegetable is one of the default slices. I didn't see eggplant parmesan on the menu, but they told me if I ask for it (advance notice would be helpful) they'll make it. Entrees are served hot. The manicotti and lasagna are delicious; the manicotti is not a big pan but a take-out container with two manicotti rolls; will feed one hungry person but wouldn't be enough for two people. Service is still friendly although the space is now a little cramped. The cake and gelato, etc. are still delicious, so I stand by everything I said about dessert in my earlier review.

The prices are a bit on the higher side, but for the quality, experience, and relaxing vibe, it felt completely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this gem to all my friends!

These are some of THE BEST empanadas I've ever had!!! It's pretty hidden and pickup only. Total hidden gem vibes! My husband and I ordered a whole bunch! Hubby got 2 picadillo, 1 chicken pot pie, 1 Philly, 1 Argentinian chicken, I got 2 Argentinian beef, 1 chicken pot pie, 1 Philly, and 1 spinach and feta - we split the Brie bacon and cheese special one. We couldn't finish them all (so excited for leftovers tomorrow), but my husband loved his and I was literally dancing after every bite. The flaaaavors!!! My goodness they just pop! The Argentinian beef brought me so much comfort. My mother in law is from Argentina so I was curious how these would be! Every single bite was packed with flavor! The chicken pot pie was literal comfort food!!! A handheld pot pie? Yes PLEASE! They nailed these flavors! The spinach and feta was ridiculously delicious and the Brie bacon fig was the best combo of sweet and savory. There's just some restaurants out there where you wish you could give more than 5 stars, this is one of them. Their menu has many other things such as bowls, wings, and desserts....I can't wait to try more. To top all this off, you get your food so fast, and Nice employees! Now, stop wasting your time reading more reviews and go get you some of the best food ever!!! You'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't eat here.

I tried all of the empanadas, perhaps my favorites are the Argentinian beef, chicken curry, and Somosa - but all are yummy. The sauces are also tasty, I usually have left over to use them with something else during the week. I like the Avocado Lime Cilantro, Spicy Chimichurri, and Sriracha Aioli. This time we also had the Blackberry Hoisin Ginger which is amazing. I would not have it with empanadas, bit my friend said it was great pairing for the Mac & Cheese one. I had it with my croissant the next morning.

They have a decently sized seating area, and in the warmer months, there's a patio to sit outside. It can get a bit loud inside during the weekends and peak hours, so not ideal if you prefer quieter environments to do work. I absolutely love their brownies, especially their blackberry brownie, but they were out the day I went so I got the red velvet cupcake instead and it was perfectly moist and soft. You truly can't go wrong with any of their bakery items. I also got the pesto pasta salad, which I highly recommend.

I had the pick two, which was a half a sandwich (grilled cheese) with a half salad (kale Caesar). The salad was so good! Fresh, crisp and lightly dressed. However, the grilled cheese was pretty sad. I opened it up and there was hardly any cheese. It was just like eating two pieces of grilled bread. They need to improve on that for sure. I also had their 12oz wildflower latte which was very tasty, but served lukewarm and not hot. If the milk is not steamed, it will bring down the temperature of the coffee. I like my specialty coffees served hot. I do have to say every staff member we came in contact with was friendly. They seemed happy and were there to help and answer questions. You place your order at the counter, and you receive a number which you display at your table. There are two dining areas with tables and a few booths to dine at next to where you place your order. Members of the staff bring your order to the table. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. Even with the sad grilled cheese sandwich which was disappointing and the lukewarm latte, I would definitely go back to Blackberry Market again to try other items on their menu. I'll pass on the grilled cheese, though.
