Service & food was very good! Didn't wait long to be seated even though Pantheon Diner was busy. Got coffee in an old timey cup & saucer instead of a mug. That was a surprise. Must have been right at 8 ounces because I usually take 3 creamers & 3 sweeteners but only two of each fit. As a coffee drinker it matters but that's ok cause refill is a coming. Um, coffee is not strong. A bit on the watered down side to me but could be just me. Price a little more than expected ($$) but New England, I'm learning, is like that. (Moved from Vegas so if you've been, you know full breakfasts or buffets can be VERY inexpensive). I ordered their 3 egg cheese omelet which included home potatoes & toast. I asked for gluten free toast which was very good. Potatoes were oh so tasty! I love spuds & broke my keto diet to eat them,...I'm bad. NOW, the omelet. Needed 1: something else other than onion, perhaps bell pepper, or seasoning? Or option thereof. and 2: the cheese, I believe was (gag) 'American' cheese OR (not so gag) less quality Monterey Jack cheese. The cheese was flavorless and looked like melted white plastic goo. It was still palatable because eggs were tasty but the cheese didn't enhance the flavor at all and probably could have been left out. Another quirk was my husband ask for sourdough bread toast instead of their regular toast. 75 cents extra for sourdough toast?? Other places either don't charge extra or that much! Seriously? Seemed odd to us especially since my hubby barely could taste it was sourdough. Almost wonder what the other toast is. Darn, I forgot to ask him if they charged that for my gluten free. But the home potatoes made it! So good even my hubby said we'd go back for the potatoes lol The servers were very nice and attentive. The food didn't take long to arrive at all. I like the old timey ambience in diners. They feel like the world use to feel like. Warm, familiar, safe with something good coming your way. Go to Pantheon, just ask about the cheese & toast options first, lol. Written by Steve's wife, Fatima Perry

I have been to this restaurant twice now, and it is a lovely, family run place. Both owners are from Italy and the recipes reflect genuine Italian cuisine, from both North and South. It reminds me how much I miss Italy every time I go. The pizzas are excellent, the sauces are carefully crafted and delicious. I also noted a wonderful gluten free selection, and close attention to dietary needs (several vegan options as well). Highly, highly recommended.

My favorite Brunch destination! They have EVERYTHING! Bring your appetite because you will need it. It is like having breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all in one place. An example of my first plate was Prime rib, Ham, stuffed duck, tortellini, vegetables. My daughter who has ciliac came back with a gluten-free waffle! I was shocked! We all took 1 bite of it and headed over to get our own! There was a bourbon maple syrup to drench it as well as many fruits and chocolate chips...you name it. If you want an omelette they have a station that has everything. You want cheeses and cured meats they have it. Salmon and bagels and shrimp cocktail! I had wanted to take my kids there many years ago and insisted we had to go on my birthday this year. My adult children were beside themselves. They could not believe the food choices and the quality and frankly the price per person is reasonable. They have something for everyone!

Holding back a star because lunch time can get SO busy in here, and the service gets veryyy slow if you order a sandwich. Online ordering is great, parking is convenient (and it's very easy to get to from the highway), and they have a ton of gluten free and vegetarian options (both in sandwiches, by-the-pound salads, and frozen meals). Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are also spot on -- thank you!!
