We go here at least once a month when we want something quick and delicious. Incredible homemade pastas, meats and cheeses, sandwiches, and deli case items (salads, charcuterie, etc.). Eat in or take out. BYOB - there's also a great wine shop (Bon Vin) next door.

The best bakery in town. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is completely renovated, and they have a wood-burning stove they shipped all the way from Italy. SO GOOD.
