from Google & Yelp"First impressions is looking very clean. The coffee is delicious. The almond Danish is Big, filling & not too sweet. Massimo is nice and easy to talk to. The aroma of cheese fills you heart with hunger."
"Nice selection of deli meats which is becoming harder and harder to find delis that stock gabagool. However , icy and unwelcoming service, as the other reviewer said the young female worker isn't the nicest. Unfortunate as I was looking to make this a regular store for me to buy at."
"Every time I visited, I didn't have to wait too long despite the lunch rush. As I waited for my sandwich to be made, I browsed the goods they had for sale and it really felt like a mom and pop version of Eataly with the Italian branded goods that they had available on the shelves. There was also a nice indoor seating area with a few tables and chairs. There were always seats available when I visited on weekdays. Each sandwich is cut in half and one half is definitely enough but eating the entire sandwich is also plausible (and worth it because it's that good). Now onto the sandwiches: Truffle melt- The saltiness of the prosciutto very well with the freshness of the arugula and tomato. The truffle cheese spread was simply the cherry on top for that sandwich. The arugula was so fresh that I think I like arugula now. Di parma with roasted peppers- Another popular choice by a lot of visitors. It was good but I think I like the sandwiches with arugula more (guess I'm in my leafy greens phase). Sopressata and Fontina- I love how crisp the sliced tomatoes always are and this is coming from someone who usually omits tomatoes from their burger/sandwich orders. The bread is always toasted so it's the perfect complement to the soft fontina and sopressata in the middle. Honestly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches, breakfast items or paninis on their menu. They also recently added a dessert fridge! Most of them come in glass jars which is so fancy for a dessert. I tried the guava mango gelato and was left with a glass flute I couldn't bring into the courthouse. The staff were super nice to help me hold onto it till I could come back to retrieve it at the end of my day."
"I'm not sure what it was about this place but I found this shop to be just so charming. You can tell it's super mom & pop run by a lovely Italian couple. And they're very pleasant and service was quick. There are tons of options in the actual shop portion that were interesting. I grabbed some tinned fish. Got some sandwiches, as well. Were they the best? No and I kind of knew that from the pictures.. But you could tell the cheese is fresh, the pesto was good, and the sun-dried tomato spread was nice. I expected a bit of a crisper bread from a place like this, however. The pastries were aesthetically pleasant. Was my cheese-filled croissant the best? No but it looked pretty. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would consider coming back to try more of their sandwiches."
"Their cannoli—its really good! The staff is incredibly helpful and sweet, making the experience even better. If cannoli isn’t your thing, don’t worry—they have plenty of other delicious options. The pasta is fantastic, especially the lobster ravioli, which was absolutely delicious. And their coffee? Very, very good. Highly recommended!"
"Cipollina is an absolute gold mine of Italian products right here in Forest Hills. I have to stop myself from buying everything every time I go. The owners..."
