The beet salad was so yummy. They were willing to split it in the back for me and my husband. The crispy chicken is delicious and not too heavy of a dish. My husband had the burger and said it was great. Our friends split the cacio y Peppi pasta special served table side-yummy!! For dessert the table split the chocolate chip bread pudding- such a cute presentation! My only wish is they offered decaf espresso drinks to go with it.

Not been there in quite some time I was surprised how empty it was, but once I saw the prices, I understood why people stop going there. Then with the exorbitant prices, you’d expect to have exceptional service and phenomenal food either which was the case. Don’t feel like I need to come back here anytime soon.

Food & service was great. From the pita bread to our food then dessert everything was delicious. My one complaint was that I wish the blackened chicken was a lil bit spicier.
