We had dinner here on a Tuesday night and good thing we made reservations as they were very busy. We were warmly greeted by the owner/hostess and seated on arrival. We started with the portobello mushrooms with melted cheeses and rose sauce. Unique and very good. Bread was also brought to the table. Butter and Olive oil - but no balsamic vinegar. We also had bruschetta, antipasto, and marinated carrots. My wife had the special - lobster and seafood with cavatelli pasta in a rose sauce and I had the Vitello Mare e Monti, veal medallions with jumbo shrimp, prosciutto with cheese and a mushroom demiglasse. Everything was great, timed well and the service was very good. A real bonus was being able to bring our own wine which they allow and do not charge a corkage fee. This makes for a great meal at a very reasonable total cost. My wife appreciated they left the small bowl of parmigiana-reggiano cheese on the table when the main courses were served. We shared a chocolate lovers cake for dessert that was very good. Overall this was a great dinner in a warm atmosphere at very good prices.

The sticky buns are amazing. They are made fresh daily. The pound cake and butter cakes are also good. They also have a good cheese cake, pies and cookies. You can’t go wrong buying from Fritz’s bakery and it’s even easier now that they have more locations.

Very creative and tasty fried dough made daily. Light and not greasy with flavourful fillings and toppings. While expensive for donuts, better value than the new kids on the blocks dishing up pseudo-KFC as well - tastier also. Second best in the area after Phatso's.

This bakery has the best tomato pie and so many other types of breads. Tomato pie sauce was just sweet enough. Prices are reasonable. They also offer sandwiches and other Italian products.

I am a total meat eater, so when my girlfriend suggested Blue Sage, I rolled my eyes...It was soooo good! I enjoyed the Farmhouse Cubano and the Tostones appetizer...Both were so full of flavor, I left feeling very full and satisfied! I would go here again...

Visited with a bunch of guys from nearby development. Shortly after being seated, orders were taken. I had read their menu online and was aware they features a kielbasa (from Czerw's) sandwich so I knew what I wanted. After most of the others were served and halfway through their lunches, I was told they had no kielbasa and asked if I would want something else. Knowing that, by the time I decided and my lunch was delivered everyone else would be finished, I said no.
Many of the others seemed to enjoy their lunch, but there is absolutely no excuse to make someone wait more than 20 minutes to inform them that they would have to order something else because they had run out of a their selection. They had a big crowd so I guess it didn't pay for them to worry about a single customer. There are too many other good Italian restaurants in the area to give them another shot.

This place doesn’t need my review. It is always packed and with good reason. Most divine espresso drinks ever. Cappuccino is served in a colorful ceramic cup with frothy milk. The almond croissant could be straight out of Paris. Of course I had to go here every morning during my trip. They have sparkling water on tap (free) and despite the long lines they move customers along quickly.

There for a business luncheon. What a great Italian restaurant. Everything from service to the magnificent food. The Spinach Ravioli was so fresh and delicious. Eggplant roll parm was made to perfection. Our guests has salmon salad and it looked fresh and delicious. Can't forget the cream of chicken soup. Would love to have taken some home!The Bruschetta served before hand was so fresh and tasty. Can't say enough about this wonderful little establishment. We were early for lunch and as the place started to get busy, they made a point of turning up the ceiling fan for comfort.

I made two visits to this market one on Saturday and one on Monday.
I have been to many markets here and in Europe but this market has it's very own flavour.
There are many stalls with groceries and meats but I got the impression that this market is all about eating. I had a Philly steak sandwich one day and a Turkey sandwich another day, both were top notch. I also tried the new donut stall which was lined up both times I was there. I am old fashioned so I had a jelly filled donut and it was the best I have ever had.
The one thing I noticed was how clean the market was and there were no bad smells. I saw a person drop paper from their lunch and within a few seconds someone was in cleaning it up. There was staff watching the garbage cans to make sure they did not get filled up and overflow.
The washrooms are clean and well maintained.
There is lots of people watching and even though the crowds were pushing and shoving there was only good humour.
I loved the experience and the food!

I have to smile at the reviews- I get to Reading Terminal about 4 or 5 times a year and have tried Miller's Twists several times
They make very good pretzels in the Pennsylvania Dutch style
However, there are a number of places in Lancaster County- Countryside Road Stand, Immergut, the stand at Weavers store in Fivepointville, or the pretzels sold at almost any mudsale, that are just as good, and of course, less expensive.
They only strand out in comparison to the standard, more doughy less buttery, Philadelphia style pretzel, and in comparison to Auntie Annes- which is a mass produced version of the Pennsylvania Dutch style (Anne Beiler grew up Amish and her company is still headquartered in Lancaster)
