Monica's

Absolutely fantastic experience! We had to come back again because we loved it so much the first time. I was in town for eye surgery @ the University & we needed something that was close to our hotel & that gluten free options. We loved our service both times. The first time we had a girl and she was super attentive and very nice. The second time (yesterday) we had a taller guy that had just graduated from U of Iowa last year he had said. They both added to the experience. It takes a lot to wow my mom :) They both were above and beyond. The bruschetta was the BEST we have ever had. Superb!! The artichoke dip was very good too, but the bruschetta definitely won us over. I had a sandwich and potatoes the first time and yesterday I had the tilapia, potatoes, pear salad and gluten free cheesecake. The atmophere is really cool too. They have a lot of Hawkeyes sports decor and their pizzas are even named after players and coaches which is really neat way to celebrate the sports culture. Both times we came around 2:30, so it wasn't busy at all. We were able to socialize easily. The music was at a nice volume as well. They have tvs around also and a nice bar area. We will definitely return when Im back for my follow up eye appointments. Thanks again to both our waitress and waiter. Keep it up!

Been ordering take out from Monicas for a few weeks now. Tried the lasagna twice, and thus far, stouffers beats this stuff hands down! Cheese has been cooked to browned both times. Can barely cut it with a knife. Over salted, lack of ricotta, ZERO sauce along with no structure. Save yourself a few bucks and run by Walmart frozen food section. You'll thank me!

We stopped here because my husband wanted a brick oven pizza. I have to say it was very good. Monica is very nice and helpful. I'm sure we will be back.
