Truly always an awesome experience, & consistently great food & service. Lunch Staples for me are the Tunisian Tuna sandwich with extra bomba or the chicken cutlet with side salad & they make tier own iced tea! (Consider take out here, they're really quick, always better fresh compared to delivery, & you get to see what pastries they've got for a little dessert). Pastas at dinner are my favourite as well, & always ask what's on the menu of the day. Never had a bad experience here & love coming back every time I get the chance!

Worst experience ive had in a long time ! Got charged 60$ for bread with with a little bit of spread & a ceaser salad & the ceaser salad had huge chunks of kale with no croutons or sauce . Ive never seen that in my life

I was really disappointed with my experience here.
I ordered the Sicilian crostini, which was described with ingredients like roasted bell peppers, pesto, & other toppings. What I actually received was just toasted bread with a blended spread & a small amount of cheese. There were no visible roasted vegetables or distinct toppings as described - it felt more like a purée spread than a composed dish. For around $18, it didn't feel like good value at all.
I also ordered a Caesar-style salad with chicken, & it was equally underwhelming. The greens were served in very large, uneven pieces, with minimal dressing & no croutons, despite being listed. The overall presentation & execution didn't resemble a proper Caesar salad - it felt incomplete & poorly assembled.
In total, I paid about $58, & the food simply didn't match the descriptions or expectations set by the menu. I don't mind paying for quality, but I do expect accuracy & consistency in what's being advertised.
I would strongly recommend that the restaurant provide clearer descriptions & ensure the dishes reflect what is listed, so customers know what they are actually ordering.
