We had a nice dinner. Friendly staff . Outdoor seating available
Great food, atmosphere was fantastic. Shout out to Gabby, she led me to my seat, and took care of me herself. Highly recommend when in the area.
Skyla the bartender was super sweet and very attentive. The food was delicious, portions were huge and cocktails were great. Tons of vegetarian options. Would highly recommend this spot for an affordable option, away from downtown.
Great laid back with a welcoming atmosphere. Had Spegehti and meatballs. Was delicious. Great portions and plenty of authentic taste. Highly recommend.
Have reservations! I did not, but showed up right at 5pm so was able to get a table. Got outside seating. In the summer the first room they say is in was too warm to be comfort. I think the 4.4 it has now is fair. I had the special lasagna and my partner had spaghetti and meatballs with the proper Italian name, which I don't remember. Also had calamari to start. The good-the calamari was excellent. Not a large portion, but a good size. It was not chewy or fishy. It tasted fresh. Doubt it was, but it's a good quality. I love the lasagna. Very good. I think they only make it on Friday, so if you are there when it is on the menu I would urge you to try it. The medium- my partners spaghetti, which was noodles with crushed tomatoes and basil (that is how it was listed on the menu) was OK. Nothing to be excited about. The meatballs were also OK. Better than the postal, but nothing to go back for. Our server was good in the beginning but then disappeared once the place got busy. Had to track the server down twice to get to-go containers and then our check. I would go back, but my partner says she would not. Again. It's a good 4.4 stars. I think that is appropriate. Not bad, but nothing special.
