Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty combination of cheese and basil pesto, though some found the pesto flavour quite strong.
  • Ease of prep: Several found it challenging to stuff the cheese mixture into the bread slices without breaking the ciabatta.
  • Suggestions: Try slicing the bread "sandwich style" for easier filling, or use more finely grated cheese for better distribution.
  • Leftovers: Some customers enjoyed taking leftover pieces to work or school for lunch the next day.
  • Cooking method: A few had success baking the bread in an air fryer instead of using the grill.
