"What an absolute gem of a place! The décor and ambiance are top notch, and the food is delicious"
"The restaurant is cute and has a friendly staff, but when started to get busy they had just one waitress and she was having a hard time giving attention to everyone"
"Went there with my parents after seeing a film at landmark together"
"Food was ok but I definitely received a jaw workout from the beef short rib which was quite overdone"
"This place was absolutely breath taking! The decoration really made me feel like I was sitting in a Mediterranean Cafe, the perfect combination of "Mom and Pop" meets "exotic" complete with the videos playing on the television in the background"
What an absolute gem of a place! The décor and ambiance are top notch, and the food is delicious. Definitely recommend the salmon and shrimp crostini and their pizzas! If you're looking for a quiet romantic night, I highly recommend going on a weekday for a candlelit dinner. Weekends have live music if you're up for a busier and social vibe! The place is also family-run, so you're supporting a local business by visiting! This was our first time coming, but we will absolutely be back.

The restaurant is cute and has a friendly staff, but when started to get busy they had just one waitress and she was having a hard time giving attention to everyone. What annoyed me the most was the food I ordered, because it was saying in the menu "Italian risotto" and it came just a regular rice, so it was quite strange. In general was an ok experience.

Went there with my parents after seeing a film at landmark together. Ordered the Pizza Napolitana which was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! My dad raved about his burger too! The server was very kind and friendly too. Definitely someplace to come back to!

Food was ok but I definitely received a jaw workout from the beef short rib which was quite overdone. Ordered the lamb also based on the photo uploaded by the restaurant, what was received unfortunately did not align with that photo. They need to staff up on the service side, especially if hosting a large event and having regular guests at the same time...we sat around for 30 mins after the meal and had to go up to request water and the bill. I also learned that I like Raki

They have a small ramp inside so it’s wheelchair accessible.
Cutest little place for a chill brunch! We sat on the patio, but immediately regretted this when the server invited us inside the restaurant. The food was fresh, the drinks were good, and the people are so nice. We split the Pizza Napolitana and the Shrimp and Salmon Salad.

Went to dine here in the evening. Wasn’t busy, and the atmosphere is excellent. The decor, to the music, to the food presentation makes you feel like you are on a trip in Europe. Service was amazing. Staff was attentive making sure we were happy. Great choice if you want to support local family businesses over the other franchises around the area.

I don't review often but more people need to know about this spot. The atmosphere is great and the prices are very reasonable especially for the quality of the food. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Great date spot as well. (Make sure to get an appetizer btw)

Charcuterie & Cheese Board for 2
My friends and I really enjoyed our dinner. The food tasted great and was reasonably priced. I had the seafood paella. Before 10, it was jazz night. 10 pm onwards, there was a dj and (I believe) a beer on the house. Wonderful experience! Will definitely come back!

Been here twice now (once for lunch, once for dinner). I had an excellent experience both times. They have lots of selection and the quality of the food is top notch. Can recommend the paella, zucchini sticks, crab cakes, baked brie, and tiramisu. Reasonably priced. The live jazz on Saturday nights is great too!

If I could leave no stars I would. This place was so bad that I’m convinced it’s a money laundering operation. All of the positive reviews must be written by bots/AIs. The potato dish is literally bagged hashbrowns with crushed tomatoes on top. The charcuterie board is served with Schneider’s Bologna. Save your money. The service was less than desirable.

The four of us had a great time here. The food was great, the service was excellent. The owner sat down with us for a chat. The live music was simple but verry personal and the volume was easy enough so we could talk. They were accomodating to changes in the menue making the culinary experience.very personal. We will be back

What a lovely place. Not only is the food excellent but also the services and atmosphere. The best of all is that this Bistro had vegetarian and gluten-free options. We had a lovely time, thanks.

Food was terrible, felt like it was all frozen food quickly heated in the oven. Had the zucchini sticks, the halloumi cheese (barely warm), and a beet salad. The beet salad had a description of mustard vinaigrette, but was just plain
