Lunchtime brings the deli counter to you with sandwiches like Turkey on Rye, tuna, the Reuben, French Dips as well as veggie selections. Burgers, appetizers, salads and soups round out the entire lunch menu and though the dinner menu is not as extensive, it's diminutive list still packs a punch.

Located in Claremont, Union on Yale is an elegant, yet casual restaurant that serves an amalgam of favorites from the Italian and American kitchen. A small sampling of the menu has dishes like fried chicken, Flat-Iron steak, wild mushroom fettuccine and the rarely seen pan roasted John Dory. The owners brought the wood-fire oven over from Naples, and inside it you'll find delicious pizzas that use innovative ingredients, but still pay homage to the Old Country. For instance, the menu still has the original Margherita and Bianca, but the Americana with herbed burrata or the unusual, but delicious Great Pumpkin Pizza really make this place unique.
