Chris Auditore, who runs the business with his family, said customer support helped the restaurant exceed its original five-year plan by moving into a permanent location sooner than expected.
What they're saying
As the business continues to grow, Auditore said its mission remains rooted in consistency and community connection.
“We have great food, and we serve it from the heart," Auditore said. "My wife and I are here every day, giving people something we care about and sharing it from our table to theirs.”
The details
The restaurant continues to serve a menu anchored by customer favorites, such as chicken and beef paninis, and pasta dishes.
The company is now preparing for its next phase, with plans to open a second location in 2026 and a third soon after, with long-term goals to franchise the brand.
