I was invited here for lunch and excited to try it out. I liked the atmosphere. There is an open area and a restaurant. I tried the open area and ordered from the restaurant. I enjoyed the two friendly wait staff I spoke with.
Ordered mushroom soup and the spinach chicken/apple salad with blue cheese. The apples were missing from the salad but the the host at the cash helped me out very pleasantly. The mushroom soup came in a large portion but wasn't too flavourful. The biggest turn off was a rather deep pool of oil that separated and stayed on top of the soup. Tried to mix it but it may have either needed less oil or to be blended before serving.
I ordered a coffee while waiting for my meal. The male barista with tattoos didn't make it and I had to ask the female barista a second time 3 minutes later. The male barista was annoyed and decided my name was buddy...
Overall I think this place has potential. Looked like they have a good variety of cheese and cannoli. For a very authentic Italian cafe like experience, I prefer Lina's Italian Grocery.
