Back To Work...

We recently took a little vacation for a few weeks, but we were back at it this weekend to give our voracious regular followers what they want....more accounts of Bob and Mel eating on the Hill.

So, we went to Adriana's on The Hill this Friday.  This marked the first time that either of us had visited this pleasant sandwich shop that is only open for lunch.

The decor is sparse but nice, with little knick knacks to add a personal touch.  There were plenty of tables.  Roughly 20 total, and there were seats available the entire time we waited.  But since the inside was busy and a little noisy, we opted to eat outside on such a lovely day.  They have several tables available outside as well.

To say the place was "bustling" is an understatement.  We arrived about 15 or so minutes prior to noon, and the line was just out the door.  It snaked around the perimeter of the restaurant.  However, the entire time we were there...the line remained about the same length.  It took about 15 - 20 minutes from the time we arrived to the time we were seated with our food.  So the line kept moving.

Note the fire hydrant in the background with the colors of the Italian flag.  All the hydrants on "The Hill" are painted like this.

I ordered a "Grace" sandwich, which is Salsiccia and Pepperoni topped with a red sauce and Provel Cheese.  It was delicious.  Mel ordered the "Charlie's Special"...one of three prominent veggie options.   She said it was "delicious."  You can look up her sandwich along with others at the menu here.

Mel was particularly pleased with the fact that those "dining in" were encouraged to use reusable cups for their soft drinks.  They had styrofoam cups for "take aways," but at least there was some attempt to be green.

Like most of the establishments on "The Hill," this is a family owned and operated.  They really seem to take pride in personal service.  They seemed to know many of the regulars and even encourage folks to recommend daily specials.

This blog is not in business of recommending places (or even reviewing the restaurants for that matter), but I would say that if you haven't been here yet, to give it a try.  We both really liked it.
