What People Are Saying About Falai Panetteria

In Short
Chef Falai opened this annex to his stylish eponymous neighbor to showcase his first love--pastry. But the menu isn't limited to just breads and confections. In addition to cream-filled cannolo, fruit turnovers and foccacia, the cafe proffers salads, soups, sandwiches and cichetti, which are "Italian tapas" like leeks with fresh cream and white polenta with wild boar ragu. Mains such as veal meatballs help the restaurant satisfy cravings, day and night.

Love coming here on the weekends for dinner when the place gets bopping... friendly staff, good wine, delicious food and amazing desserts... what more could you want?? Fun atmosphere without ridiculous prices.

Pretty good food... We visited on Thursday for lunch and had a great panini, but couldnt help but be turned off by the server's bizarre behavior. He did not seem to know much about the food when we asked some basic questions and we constantly had to search for him. He was MIA most of our meal, and when he was around he spent most of his time fiddling with his phone. Other times service has been great... what's up with this new guy?
