| - This little Italian bistro is an unassuming, tucked away gem. We went there after looking at the other reviews on yelp, and were not disappointed. My coworkers and I ordered the vegetarian sandwich, a calzone, the cheesy fries, and tiramisu.
First of all, the portions are VERY generous. The calzone, for the average person, would be enough for 3 meals. I was with a 20-something man who never has an issue clearing his plate. Well, this time he did.
The fries were covered in what was the tastiest, garlic-infused mozzarella. It is also a big helping. The vegetarian sandwich came on beautiful bread and was overflowing with marinated and cooked veggies, topped off with that delightful mozzarella again.
Then there is the calzone. We ordered a vegetarian calzone (made to our specifications). I already mentioned the size (epic!), but the flavors involved are a beautiful combination. Many times, a calzone is pretty straightforward. Cheese, sauce, other fillings, etc. This was such an intricate pallet of flavors, it's clear a lot of thought, and skill, went into its creation.
Last, but certainly not least, was the tiramisu. It's a big piece, creamy, great flavors-none of which overwhelm the others.
Seriously, this place is great. The owners, Claudio and Nadine, are charming and welcoming (Claudio is the Sicilian chef, and talks to customers while bustling around in the kitchen). Make sure to not be in a big hurry, because this quality (and quantity) of food can't be rushed. The prices are very reasonable, and it was an overall delightful experience. We plan on going back very soon!
