    Cute place, tables very close together . I wasn't thrilled with having to leave a $25.00 pp hold on my credit card for my reservation. The beet and goat salad was amazing; however the seafood salad was disappointing; extremely small and only two fish - very small shrimp and very small calamari - pretty tasteless. I am used to seafood salad with mussels, octopus, scallops , red pepper etc. and for $25.00 it was so small too.

    The food is so delicious 😋 I love the stuffed artichoke. The meatballs are big and delicious. For dessert you have to get the ice box cake it really brings back memories of growing up to me. Just a little expensive.

    If you have not experienced Breakin Bread yet it’s a must try. We have eaten here multiple times,and will definitely return. Just a word of caution if spice isn’t your thing like me. The mild vodka sauce was even too much for me last night. Last time I found the angry to be VERY angry. My husband who likes spice has enjoyed both of these though. Other non-spicy sauces have been a better choice for me. The oreganata sauce is fantastic, linguine with clams is to die for. Next time you’re up for Italian give this place a try.

    Breaking Bread is a wonderful family owned restaurant that has incredible food and always a large variety of specials. Service is always excellent. My only complaint is the noise level.
