Sciué Review

Inspired by the street foods of Rome, this cafeteria-style Italian bakery-café (pronounced "Shoe-eh") starts the day serving espresso and pastries, then moves to panini, soups, and pastas. One specialty is the pane romano, essentially a thick-crust pizza, sold by weight. There can be lines out the door at lunch, so try to visit early or late; the downtown location closes at 7 pm weeknights and 5 pm Saturdays, while the Yaletown branch keeps somewhat later hours: until 9 pm Monday through Saturday and until 7 pm Sundays.
