"went in for lunch. ordered salumi misti and pane e pannele. sandwiches were constructed with good structural integrity - properly layered and held together by soft, homemade ciabatta bread. nothing fell out or slipped around as we took bite after bite of our lunch, which is a testament to a solid sandwich. good ratio of bread to filling, a generous but not overwhelming inclusion of cold cut meats. the sandwich did have its downsides, in the form of excessive vinegar. it left the bottom bun soggy, reminiscent of a wet sponge left in the sink overnight by a forgetful roommate. the plate also showed evidence of this shortcoming - a shallow acidic pool of vinegar and tomato juice forming after i finished the first half of my meal. overall a well-crafted sandwich, kind servers, plentiful refills of tap water, and a slow going, dimly lit dining ambiance. all in all it’s enough to take you away of a busy day, even for a brief moment. good lunch."

"We went here while visiting Durham because of the high google reviews, and let me tell you - it did NOT disappoint! We sat at the bar since they were pretty busy and being able to observe the staff at work was incredible - this place was a well oiled machine. Now the FOOD! Their soup of the day was a spicy sausage and chickpea soup and it might have been one of the best soups I’ve ever had. The frittata and the biscuit BLT were also incredible. If you’re in the area, check this place out."

"Really enjoyed my sandwich and pasta salad. Had a spicy bloody Mary too. 🥵🥵 The finishes in this interior were so beautiful and classic!! We had a relaxing lunch and would love to return."

"Love this place, I’m a regular. Staff is friendly and professional. Food is consistently amazing. Best brunch spot in town!"

"Wow! These are the kinda gems 💎 I love to find. Lunch here is fantastic. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. I really enjoyed today's lunch special chicken parmesan on cibatta! The side Caesar salad was crisp, fresh, and refreshing. The Pumpkin Spice Lattes are seriously the best I've ever had. Grateful for the wonderful service and pesto! Thanks for the great experience."
