Tarallucci "eh" Vino

With all the comments on their "great panini" floating around, when I have lunch there I order what is listed on the menu as "Filet of Tuna, Artichoke Hearts, Mayo." What I get is ciabatta layered with what looks and tastes like Bumblebee canned tuna (in water) topped with chopped artichoke hearts and tasteless mayo. I could have gone to my local supermarket and made this on my own. My friend's dish, buckwheat noodles with shitake mushrooms and broccoli rabe, is decent but somewhat bland. Apparently their strong spot is their pastry; this will have to be tested another time.

I disagree... I LOVE this place! Please, try it again for dinner. This time, ask your waiter or waitress to recommend some wines (they'll usually let you sample a few before choosing)and cheeses to compliment the meats. The waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable, which is rare in this town, and the ambiance is just perfect.
