It's a small operation and the staff are old friends, giving the place a relaxed, informal atmosphere. A tall glass of cold creamy heaven, the concoction left us drooling. Once you've fed your caffeine habit, move on to a bowl of minestrone or a plate of bruschetta. The soup's homemade, and, though the vegetables are a bit too crunchy, it's a solid choice. The bruschetta is a bit limp, but delicious, spiced up with a sweep of Italian dressing.
Sandwiches offer another good option.
The ingredients are very fresh and all the meats have been imported from Italy. Carnivores, on the other hand, will applaud number seven, a sandwich stacked high with capocolla, Genoa salami and provolone and served with a creamy red potato salad or a sweet cold pasta. At the moment, there's no kitchen, so Mesi is limited in what he can serve. He plans to add a stone pizza oven and a grill within the next few months. Bread aside, Bada Bean's main liability is the decor.
