Love the place, there options for vegans and vegetarians. Would recommend for you to try the pasta 🍝 as simple as it is just pasta and tomato 🍅 sauce, the food is simply delicious. Would recommend the place for a dinner date or even a morning brunch as the food offered has great variety. Tried the 3 course menu, and was surprised by how accommodating the restaurant was. Really a great experience!
The restaurant is much more spacious than it looks and has an excellent welcoming vibe. Staff are all friendly and energetic. I came here by myself and ordered the three course menu, thinking that it was a tasting menu. It turned out to be (and the menu clearly said!) a family table menu, so it came with A LOT of appetizers, which unfortunately I could not finish.
However, all the appetizers were surprisingly good. What I think they told me was tomatoes had a very smooth texture and tasted like a hybrid of tomato and peach. Focaccia had a light touch and wasn’t too filling despite the size. I even liked beets that I usually avoid.
Fast forward, the entree swordfish steak felt a bit dry and tasted like octopus, but that’s probably because I was already too full and my body was trying to reject incoming food. It came with three sides, Caesar salad, pasta, and bread. Bread was extremely soft and smooth. The dessert, bittersweet chocolate budino (chocolate pudding, huge portion!), was at a perfect sweetness level and added nice bitterness to clear the aftertaste.
Overall, the restaurant provides fantastic food for reasonable prices, and I especially recommend it for friends dinner and casual date night.
A great early summer dinner. We got their 3 course dinner with the swordfish. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere welcoming. We ate on the patio, so there were some birds that bothered us at the beginning, but other than that the food was tasty and diverse.
Our server was attentive and explained the new items on the menu. The chef sent a few plates our way as gifts and we loved all the food.
