" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The sandwich I ordered was decent, but it didn't have the kick I'd anticipated. It was on the pricier side too. The staff was friendly, but I expected a bit more for what I paid for. It’s charming, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tony's Colonial Food holds a special place in my heart. Visiting feels like a journey back in time, complete with the scents and sounds reminiscent of Italy. The variety of imported goods is impressive, and I love their daily specials. Each trip is an adventure, and the friendly staff always makes sure you leave with a smile and a full belly. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Italian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" As an Italian-American, Tony's Colonial Food feels like home! The variety of products is impressive, from artisanal cheeses to homemade sauces. The deli staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. I treat myself to a pasta-making adventure whenever I visit, and it never disappoints! Prices are a bit higher, but the quality really speaks for itself. Thus, this is my go-to place for authentic Italian goodies. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love it but felt the prices were outrageous for what is offered. The ambiance is cozy and invokes a bit of nostalgia for Italy, but service was a mixed bag—the staff were friendly yet sometimes inattentive when busy. Overall, the food tasted good but didn’t hit the mark for the price point. It may not be a regular visit for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dropped by Tony's on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! I had the most amazing meatballs and a side of spaghetti. Each bite took me right back to my grandmother's kitchen. The only drawback was the parking—it can be tricky, especially during busy hours. But the food is unquestionably worth the hassle. I definitely recommend trying the meatballs! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Tony's. While the food was authentic Italian fare, I found the prices to be exorbitant for the portion sizes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, mostly due to the passionate staff. I might return later for their homemade pasta but would definitely think twice about the value for what you get. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tony's is a phenomenal place with authentic Italian cuisine. It's a small shop packed with big flavors! I had the sausage and rabe sandwich, and it was perfectly made with high-quality ingredients. The only downside was I wished the sandwich was a bit larger for the price. Nonetheless, the flavors lingered, and I look forward to returning for another bite soon! " (*Curated Review*)
