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.

Excerpts

This was a lovely experience. It was our first time there. It’s a small business with a couple running the kitchen and orders, so best to go with some patience and time to spare. Not a problem for us. If you want something good, it takes time. We ordered three sandwiches, but be warned — one can be enough for two. I had the Otaggio on focaccia bread. It came with spicy, roasted eggplant, arugula, artichokes, Parmesan slices, sun-dried tomatoes and a bright, crunchy pesto. I really enjoyed the contrasting textures of the eggplant against the coarse pesto and the flavor combination of the tart artichoke and nuttiness of the cheese. We also had the blood orange sorbet that delivered on the burst of citrus as promised. If you have a chance to stop by, it’s definitely worth the trip (and return trip)!

My wife and I absolutely love this place! There isn't a single thing on the menu that isn't made from scratch. The food is out of this world! I really wish they would be open longer! The place is small so you can't come in a big group. Limited seating. Wine and beers available If they have a special for the day, try it! We used to get whatever they had on special because you knew it was gonna be good! Words can't describe how some of the food melts in your mouth. My wife loved it here since the very first time. Ask for Julie! She's such a sweetheart and so attentive and nice. Definitely try it out! Parking situations can be limited as well. Park on the street if needed. One bathroom for the entire place. 5 stars mang!

Amazing amazing amazing!! Service was top tier and food was fresh and well thought out. They explained every plate down to the coffee (something you only find at fancy restaurants). Will definitely be back soon!
