A cozy and clean place that serves wonderful Italian food! We had the Wedding Soup and the Grilled Chicken sandwich topped with Italian greens and roasted peppers! The breast was grilled to perfection and was generous in size. The soup, while not quite as good as mom used to make, was pretty darn good. :)

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I was excited to try this restaurant after reading so many positive reviews, but our experience was disappointing from the start. My party of three walked in right behind another party of two. They were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Meanwhile, the bartender and who appeared to be a manager (sitting at the end of an otherwise empty bar) completely ignored us. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not even a quick “someone will be right with you.” After standing there for a couple of minutes, I finally asked, “Do we just sit anywhere?” and was met with “Oh no” in an annoyed tone before he reluctantly grabbed menus and seated us. It didn’t improve from there. I ordered chicken parmesan and asked to order a side of Alfredo sauce. The waitress responded, “We don’t normally do that, but I’ll see if the chef will make an exception,” as if I had made some unreasonable request. I was prepared to pay for it — I simply wanted to add a side of sauce at an Italian restaurant. Overall, we felt like we were inconveniencing the staff by being there. Dining out shouldn’t feel like you’re asking for a favor. With so many great Italian options in this area, there’s no reason to return somewhere that makes guests feel unwelcome
