have eaten at this place a few times and the value and quality of the food is excellent. It is not an upscale restaurant by any means, but it does not pretend to be. The bruschetta are amazing, as are the salads and panini. The only mistake we made is that we over-ordered, not expecting them to bring sol much... More

We needed a last minute substitute for our group (25) luncheon and were so happy with this restaurant. Next to parking lot, tented patio area just for us. We pre-selected 3 courses. A variety of delicious bruschetta followed by 3 types of salads. Final course of paninis were just as delicious and provided variety and vegetarian options. Everyone was pleased... More

This little restaurant is a delight. There are a number of different wines you can try, by the glass or bottle, or in flights. The menu is quite extensive, but the Panini's are the best! The service was not so good - the staff showed they could care less if you were there. One even took our wine bottle away... More

Friendly wine bar with good food and good wine. I went with a friend and sat at the bar. We just worked our way through a number of the light eats on the menu while enjoying sampling some of their wines. Good service with a smile, I'll happily go back. More

We had talked about going to this restaurant for quite a while but every time we walked by it looked overly crowded and the reviews seemed to be up and down. We walked by yet again on a Tuesday night and the place looked packed and as we stood outside deciding where else we might go the maitre d stepped... More

There isn't a better place in town for a casual, fun and inexpensive meal. Like everyone else it seems, we love to get the bruchetto and a very reasonably prived bottle of wine. More

I love this place. I went last week with 2 girlfriends, ate a ton, and only spent $40 total! The sweet bruchettas are to die for--yummy things like honey, figs, yum, yum. It's a great place with a smallish group--I've been there always with 3-8 people. Definitely recommend! More

Given the rave reviews about their bruschetta, it must be the horrible service that resulted in my awful experience. The table next to me received their order before me although they arrived & ordered after I did. When my food arrived, the bread was obviously grilled but cold to the touch. My waiter was M.I.A so I informed my busboy/server.... More

The bruschetta sampler is a great appetizer for two people; you get a selection of four types. They include brie cheese with apples and pecans; prosciutto with figs, and gorgonzola with honey. They also have panini (e.g., Autostrada) and great (large) salads (e.g., raspberry chicken). The wines by the glass are great as is their French press coffee. Never made... More
