I actually live in Alabama but was able to order cookies from here with the help of the owner. She actually sent me an email with a link to order the cookies. I ordered 2 dozen cookies and she weighed them, and packaged them, and shipped them via UPS, and sent me the tracking number. My sister sends me a few of these cookies every year around Christmas and they are all delicious. Best cookies I’ve ever tasted. You should try them out, you won’t be disappointed!!

Placed a pick up order through DoorDash order and it was ready within 10 minutes, it was super fast and convenient to get in and out. Everything tasted fresh, and the prosciutto was quality! Recommend!

Wonderful quaint and adorable Italian cafe! Serving delicious Italian cuisine and pastries. We were there during breakfast time so I got a breakfast sandwich on brioche and it was great. I got a bocci cookie and a cinnamon cookie of some kind that was basically a tiny donut. I loved it. Prices were EXCELLENT! Indoor seating, too. There's a deli and refrigerated items to purchase as well.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I’m not from Chicago, so I accidentally stumbled upon this place. The Vanilla frappe I ordered was very tasty. I also ordered the Pasta Alfredo and it was hands down the best I’ve had. Atmosphere was perfect for a coffee date or light studying.

Chicken salad with bow tie pasta was really nice. The taste of garlic and cheese makes it godly but don't try their Alfredo hot pasta as it was a huge disappointment. Try their tomato basil soup it was nice too.

A true italian gem in Lakeview, their sandwiches are my go to especially the italiano or diavolo but the pizza and pasta are great for the picky eaters. The gelato when it's warm out is perfect or grab a hot latte for the colder months. The staff is friendly and service is fast so it's great for a quick lunch if you're in a hurry for work. You can find something for everyone​ here and prices are reasonable so you won't go broke.

Worst sandwich ever. Had the caprese. How can they screw this up you ask? They sure did. Dry, barely any balsamic,, yellow tomato, mostly bread. Won't make this mistake again. Better sandwich from the white hen around the corner.

My sandwich had literally 2 thin slices of salami and cheese on the entire thing. I folded all the meat and cheese up onto one quarter of the bread so I could ear an actual mini-sandwich. My fiance had to do the same with her chicken sandwich.

Does the business. Good espresso coffees. I had a delightful mozzarella and tomato salad as well as sampling the chicken and tuna salads. All good. No indoor seating, just a few tables outside.

Another great work lunch delivery through Fooda. Tony's Bomba is the way to go and is piled high enough to please the boss big Tone - marone! The focaccia bread tasted as fresh as can be and the sandwich was the perfect size. Also ordered the lemon cookies (very good) and a Pellegrino to make a great meal. Thanks to Fooda and Cafe L'Appetito for a great lunch to shake up a boring work day.

I've only tried the breakfast sandwiches and they are so delicious! Friendly staff, efficient service. I will give more stars after I try their lunch entrees. So far I've loved all the different breakfast sandwiches I've tried and they make a good iced coffee as well!

Fan of this place. I used to get their Tony's Bomba back when they catered via Fooda. Now that I WFH, I've ordered them for breakfast sandwiches consistently. The best I've had so far.

A very small sandwich shop but packed with a large menu in the West Loop. This location is near my office so it's very convenient to get lunch here but the sandwiches is why I keep coming back. The Italiano is my personal favorite but they're known for Parma - also delicious! The prices here are pretty good and staff is extremely friendly.

The pizza was 2 tablespoons of sauce on a cardboard crust. Three slices of pepperoni and served with a bad attitude. Avoid avoid avoid!

Our neighborhood gem! I just discovered this Italian shop and have been ordering from there everyday for the past week. The Classic Italiano sandwich is delicious, huge and only $5 this month. Ordering online has been so easy, always ready for easy pickup within 10 minutes.

Great spot for a quick sandwich to go. Went and got a delicious Italian sandwich. Will definitely be back.

Turkey panini was listed as having havarti and pesto mayo . There was so little cheese on it that I could neither see nor taste it. The pesto mayo should have imparted the taste of garlic and basil. However, the only evidence of its presence were a few flakes of something green smeared on the toast. It was basically a marginally warm turkey on toast.

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Good sandwiches. Nice number of choices. They have 3 tables outside under trees which is great
