Editor synopsis · 0 reviews

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

Quiet little place in the heart of downtown Mattoon. Plenty to choose from on the menu. I had the pasta primavera with extra grilled veggies. Exceeded my expectations. There were at least 8 different types of vegetables in the entree and the sauce was outstanding. Traveling through here every 6 weeks, I'll be sure to save my Italian craving for when I'm in town.

The lunch portions and lower prices are fantastic. Delicious food is brought to the table piping hot. Rolls are excellent. Nice sized side salad. Good service. Great experience overall. Nice mood music to fit an Italian restaurant.

Our Grammy brought us here for a family dinner, and it lived up to the hype. We started with a warm basket of generously sized bread rolls—such a comforting touch. Our waitress took our drink orders shortly after we were seated, and the service stayed attentive throughout the meal. The menu was packed with tempting options, which made it tough to choose, but I finally settled on the lasagna—and it was delicious. My girls ordered a small pepperoni pizza and the chicken tenders with French fries, both of which they loved. Wine lovers will appreciate the extensive list of selections available. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and I was especially impressed by how clean the restrooms were. All in all, I highly recommend adding this spot to your must-try list. It’s a great place for a relaxed, satisfying family meal.
