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

Great service! Amazing drinks, delicious appetizers and fantastic cocktails. It was new year's day and there were two very large parties so it was loud but the service was still excellent. I didn't save my receipt so I didn't remember the server's name but it was something like Ariel or Aria. She said she had been there for a few weeks but was a long time customer herself. She complimented the food choices, she had high praise for the bartenders (and we agree), she was accurate, prompt and very friendly. You made an excellent choice in hiring her. Everything about the experience was excellent. Thank you everyone, and happy New Year!

TLDR: Great food, great staff, great key lime pie Came in on a Friday afternoon for dinner with visiting family. This place was recommended by an Italian as being one of the better Italian restaurants in the area and he wasn't wrong. Parking was a little interesting being in a popular area mixed with apartments. Upon entry, staff were pleasant and attentive. There were 5 of us and we were trying to figure out if we want to split some appetizers or just grab a Margherita pizza to split. Our waiter suggested the pizza amd glad that he did. The pizzas are baked in a hot wood fired oven that you can see from the seating area. The crust is delicious with a great chew to it. The sauce has a subtle sweetness and the fresh basil offers that familiar flavor that i love in a simple Margherita pizza. For the mains, my wife got the braised short rib pasta and I got the cacio e pepe, a dish that on the surface seems simple, but if not executed correctly, you can tell. The short rib by itself was a little overcooked but had great flavor. When eating the meat with the noodles and sauce, you really couldn't really tell it was overcooked. The meat was tender and the sauce had a great depth of flavor. For dessert we ordered what I can only describe as the best slice of key lime pie outside of Key West, FL that I've ever had. This was a very generous slice accompanied by fresh blueberries and strawberries, topped with a heavy whipped cream. This was better than some of the key lime pies that we had in Key West even. All in all, we were very happy with this place and will be coming back. Highly recommend.

Went here for lunch and as you can see, the food portions were quite a lot. The food was fantastic. We had several different entrees and everyone loved the flavor, whether it be spicy or simple like the salad. The only thing i could say negative about any of the food is that the calamari was a little bland, which in normally is but just could use a little work. The sauce helped cover that up. I would absolutely go back and I would recommend if you are in the area!
