This shopping center has not fundamentally changed in the 38 years I've lived in the area. There has been a turnover in occupancy, of course. One of my favorites is tucked behind the,second row of smaller buildings. Vignola,was a thriving Italian restaurant in down town Rockville back in the 80s and 90s.

Pasta with a nice choice of sauces, arancini that cannot be beat, plus great hand made sandwiches to order and you' eat well. There is a great selection of frozen entrees.
