| - Came here for breakfast/brunch because they were offering a Groupon ($34 for $18).
Atmosphere:
Feels like you're eating dinner in a friend's grandmother's dining room. There's an open kitchen adjacent to the dining area. The dining area itself is small with ~10 tables. The decor is mismatched with dark wood tables and light wooden chairs. Definitely informal.
Service:
The first 30 sec after we walked in was awkward because no one greeted us and the space was so small. We were then told to seat ourselves. A sign by the entrance would help make that less awkward. It also felt short staffed, despite the fact that half the restaurant was empty, which translated into a longer than normal wait in between getting the menu and having our orders taken, and not getting silverware until we asked after we got our dishes. However, the service was very polite, and we got timely refills on coffee and juice.
Food:
I got a pancake with chocolate chips and the calabrese fritatta. It was delicious! The portions are generous and the ingredients fresh. The pancake, with the toppings I ordered, cost $3 and was the size of a dinner plate. I probably could have just eaten that. We also got freshly squeezed orange juice, since our groupon came with unlimited refills. It tasted very fresh. However, it was served in a small glass (1/2 pint), which is pretty stingy for $4. Not sure if that was a Groupon thing or the standard size.
Overall:
I'd definitely come back for the food, though I'd order less.
Side note: The Groupon was unclear that we'd have to pay for the orange juice (I thought it came with free orange juice, but it seemed like the refills were free but not the initial order-- we paid $4/person).
