Gourmet Deli

Went here on accident, ended up being a wonderful experience. Presto is the place you WANT to go to lunch, the place you NEED to go to lunch. I was looking for pasta (which they had), and ended up with a wonderfully rounded lunch that was generous in its portions and reasonable in price. Ask for Shacaraaaa - she will put your lunch experience over the top notch customer service!

Andiamo food - cheaper and very quick. Great place if you want a quality lunch on a short timeline. The problem is you need to go early. By noon they are swamped and by 1:15 nearly out of food, plus everything has been sitting out for too long. Usually they have one entree offered, plus some pre-made burgers, and sandwiches. The bean burgers are awesome (and I am not a bean burger fan).

Food was good. They had burgers pre made, so no wait: Veggie, Turkey and Angus. Other dishes looked visually appealing; however, we stuck with the angus burger. The side of cottage fries was a bit skimpy - 4 of them to be exact - which was disappointing, yet less temping to eat deep fried hydrogenated starches...

If you want to get the taste of Italy, but don't want the expense of flying and hotels and all that jazz, I don't quite think Presto will cut the mustard. Although they specialize in "Italian favorites", they seemed to me a wee bit like they came out of a box or can. I wouldn't say the food is horrible, just not exactly home madeish. The whole place has a very chain restaurant feel to it, and the food tastes a little mass produced; though, not mass produced in Italy. Nevertheless, if you're hankering for a quick bite of something Italianish, Presto might be your cup of tea. And speaking of caffeine, the expresso is good enough to be the best, in my opinion, in the Renaissance Center, though not the best in the whole wide world. P.S. The photos are from a different trip that didn't involve eating at Presto, just being outside of it.

Excellent place, and very rare. I love it. The staff is friendly...and they have a large variety of fresh fruit, salads, deli sandwich's, cooked food. The prices are on the high end, but it's worth it for the quality you can't really find anywhere else downtown. Besides, everything is ala cart so you can order based on your budget. It's basically open for the business crowd, so there's a breakfast and lunch rush hour in which they become packed. But they move the line to pay fast.

Most days I pick up breakfast here on my way up to the office - and it's a great place! They have a full warm breakfast selection until about 9:30. During lunch the have several entre choices, a variety of side dishes and about 8 soup choices. Their full salad & fruit bar is open all day and its selections are many. They also have some terrific employees!

Gluten Free Review: the only place in the Ren Cen that has gluten free bread! They’ll make any sandwich with it, but their grilled cheeses are best! They mark all of their soups with ingredients so you can check out whether there is a hidden allergen. They are a little over priced, but in line with anything else in the area. Note: I am not not celiac and do not have issues with cross contamination. If you are celiac please speak with the server before ordering.
