Amazing spot in Williamsburg for coffee and Italian food - piadine and salads. Cool vintage decor!

I only had the Classica Piadina, but it was delicious and ample. The salads I saw looked delicious and also quite large. Fun and funky vibe inside and lots of Italian being spoken!

favorite lunch place ever. The poached egg salad is my perfect meal. Such good ingredients, cutest interior, and great staff.

Cozy, unpretentious coffee shop that has a nice indoor area for working as well as outdoor picnic tables. The coffee is always good and prepared quickly. They have food options as well although u have never partaken in them. Prices are comparable to other coffee shops in the area. One of my favorite morning spots!

Full disclosure we traveled to the area to go someplace else a couple of blocks away, however they were closed for a private event. So we did a quick search and found Lella Alimentari and what a great turn of events that happened to be. Arriving at their corner there were lots of picnic tables to enjoy outside and a window to place your order. We decided to go inside and the smallish space was welcoming, casual and rustic. The staff and many customers were speaking Italian and if I didn't look outside, I may have thought I was in Italy. They serve mainly piadina which is a thin Italian flatbread and make great sandwiches. The sandwiches were lovely, with just enough ingredients to make each bite heavenly. We opt'd for the Classico which included watercress, crudo di parma and stracchino cheese. The peppery arugula paired with the meat and melty cheese was perfect. The Porchetta had roasted radiccho, porketta and the stracchino cheese another wonderful version; I just loved the radiccho along with the other ingredients. Everything was so balanced. We didn't want our meal to end so ordered a latte and mini bombolone filled with Nutella. The latte was amazing, I wish I had asked what coffee they used, because it was so smooth and flavorful and the bombolone was the perfcet size bursting with Nutella. A great place we didn't plan on visiting, but am so glad we did.

8.18.2023 * Barley Coffee (3.5/5) It mainly tasted like barley tea with a hint of coffee flavor. If I was looking for coffee, I wouldn't get this again. It was still good though since we like barley tea. * Classica Piadine (4/5) The cheese, meat and arugula matched well together in the crispy flat bread. I would get this again. * Tirolo Piadine (3/5) The speck, cabbage and parmesan combination made it very dry. It could've used a sauce. I wouldn't get this again. * Work Vibes (4/5) The place had working wifi and plenty of tables to work. There's outlets and a bathroom too. There's a mix people here to work, but they play music loudly. It is dark, so not the best place to work for me.

I think this is one of the most underrated breakfast spots in Williamsburg. The vibe is cozy on a quiet street a block from Metropolitan, and you can hear Italian flowing freely among the staff and patrons on a typical morning, which I of course take as a good sign. The star of the show here is the piadine, a delicious quesadilla-like flatbread that I wish I had waited until after this Passover season to first taste. I had a vegetarian variety filled with a generous dose of stracchino cheese that would place this dish firmly in the category of "hangover cure." I will be returning soon to try the so-called salads, which looked much more decadent than the name would suggest.

Wow... came across this cafe after a meeting a friend who needed to write a few emails. They're an Italian based cafe who serves authentic Italian food and even sell their ingredients like canned tomatoes and pasta. Their menu is in italian so prepare to translate, I ordered the poached eggs salad and it was a m a z i n g! It included romaine lettuce, half avocado, poached eggs, REALLY GREAT bacon, and peppers. This place is very cozy, I wish I lived around I would practically just learn Italian. Their bathroom is very homey too in their cabinet they have bandages, first aid kits, burn gel and even toy cars... and if you haven't noticed it's wrapped in a comic book. They've been around for 8 years, I would highly recommend.

Fresh Piadina, frittatas, eggs, coffee and tea. This authentic spot presses tortillas and molds perfectly cooked bagels to your liking.
