Review Revue: Reader @ Vella

Nicholas Day joins the fray on Vella Cafe, the instantly beloved paninoria in Bucktown. Day chronicles the history of the shop in great detail, from Sara Voden and Melissa Yen's early cooking careers to the Green City booth where they honed their panini-making skills to the endless hunt for a space in which to open their restaurant. Day's been an adherent of theirs for years, and is thrilled by the expanded restaurant menu - of particular note is the frittata panini, which Day believes to be the best egg sandwich he's ever had. In fact, virtually everyone seems to love Vella, which has received positive reviews from Time Out, Daily Candy, and the Tribune. We're impressed by the uniformity of the praise. Good job, guys!
