Suzanne The Matchmaker: Best night is Wednesday...spaghetti & meatball night!!
Mari Abe: Meatball Wednesdays are legit. Get it as an appetizer, as a side, as a dessert or in my case as an entree over spaghetti. 🍝🍝🍝
Bryce Roberts: old school spot. could eat bottomless plates of the fried zucchini. if it's Wednesday its spaghetti and meatball night so you know what to do- but order extra meatballs!

Rachel Port: Literally everything is amazing. We got quail eggs, anchovy toast, lamb skewers, lamb meatballs, brussel sprouts flat bread, croquetas, bacon wrapped dates, and pulpo. My new favorite restaurant!
AlAnoud A AlGhunaim: I’m not a tapas girl but this place takes it to the next level, you can taste the authenticity! Patatas bravas, lamb meatballs, bacon wrapped dates (trust me) & their corquettes! Paella is a must👌🏻
Sophie Parks: Bacon wrapped dates, grilled octopus, seafood paella (but it takes 40 minutes!), and churros filled with Nutella! Everything was fabulous!
Jon hoffman: will put anything you want on a hero at deli counter: turkey meatballs, fresh roasted turkey, prosciutto di parma, yum.
Lauren: Get: roasted chicken, tomato foccacia, homemade mozzarella, meatballs, most desserts (chocolate mousse, oreo cheesecake). Don't get: pasta, morning pastries (croissants, muffins). Coffee's just okay.
Sarah Gravely: The lobster ravioli is a must. Have tried finding it elsewhere and tried ordering it at various restaurants in the area, nothing compares such a treat and easy to make, excellent with vodka sauce.

David Ambrose: Greek meatballs, roast chicken and all the dips
Paige C: A wonderful new addition to the neighborhood. Delicious, crispy octopus. We also tried the pork meatballs and some dips. Really great wines too!
Debby Butlien: Delicious zucchini fries, grilled halloumi and dessert wasn’t too sweet which was a +++. Sharing the platter is a good deal for $24 (2 skewers of salmon, Greek salad, tabouli, pita and tzatziki.)
