Love this place! We ate on the patio quite a bit during the summer and have done carry out 4-5 times since then, but this was our first time eating inside. Nice atmosphere and great service. The eggplant parm (listed as an appetizer but I had it as my entree after we shared the grilled calamari/octopus/shrimp) is just wonderful. My husband thinks the sausage pizza is one of the best he’s ever had. We will be back!

What a nice experience! The restaurant is intimate and cozy but tables were not tight. The food was exceptional and the service was quick. I think the experience would have been even better if it wasn't Christmas and they were waiting to turn our table. Also, there was an 18% service charge on the bill and verified that was the tip; I was not expecting it on a table for two. Regardless, we can't wait to come back and try the Sunday Brunch!

This restaurant has a variety of tasty choices. My soup was spiced just right, it came in a rustic bowl with a generous side of homemade bread. I especially loved the Turkish coffee!

Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.

The food is delicious! The charred cauliflower appetizer is amazing. We also enjoyed the lamb chops and the vindaloo. The vindaloo was not spicy so if you like spice we recommend asking for more. Lots of wonderful spices and flavors.
