Great fresh food with an everyday ambiance. Nothing disappoints! I came with a tiny appetite since I was mostly there to snack prior to bar hopping, so my friend and I shared the Burrata (delicious) while I had a salad topped with salmon (also delicious). If you're a local, this is a great casual-chic place to add to your rotation for grazing solo or with friends. If you're from out of town, this is still a great restaurant but there is much more novelty afoot throughout Little Italy--look up speakeasy bars. Or, if you're going out with a bang just walk the whole block and try a little of everything! Still, I would make it a point to come here even if I'm just eating figs and honey.
Stopped by for brunch since there was no wait! It's located on a street corner making it a convenient location, especially with the farmers market nearby. The interior was bigger than expected and had a home-y feel. Our server seemed to be in a bad mood and barely said a word when he approached us to take our order, and it took a long time for our mimosas to come out. I had the short rib benedict and it redeemed the slow service! The eggs were perfectly runny and the hollandaise sauce was creamy. The potatoes were slightly crunchy which I liked as well. I do think the ribs could've had a little more seasoning but overall it was good for a quick brunch. Parking was difficult in downtown (as usual) and I'm not sure if I'd take the time to come back as it isn't a super outstanding brunch spot, but its a good spot to come with family since the restaurant has plenty of seating!
Ambiance: There is a lot of seating inside but the service can be a little slow with bigger parties. We didn't have time to wait for Morning Glory as my friends were very bungehand this place was able to seat us fast enough. Taste test: They have no barbecue sauce. The portion size is good. If you get something with fruit, some fruits may not be in season so be on the lookout for that!
Service Service Service. The standout was how friendly everyone was and how many different employees acknowledged us each time they walked by. Whatever we needed it was handled right away. I have to say when I visited I was a little under the weather but despite that they made it a Very enjoyable experience. I went with one of the pizzas which was served promptly and was very tasty. I know this is in the Little Italy section and may be somewhat of a tourist spot but while not 100% authentic Italian the food was good and the price reasonable. Plus the service made me feel like I was at a more upscale place. Not snooty they just seemed to all genuinely care that I was having a good meal. Give it a shot you might be surprised.
Enjoyed the service, food and experience. Great little spot we stumbled upon while exploring the gas lamp. Great options for craft cocktails.
