| - This place is AWESOME! I came here while in the University Heights area to do some errands, as I heard good things from a classmate of mine. It fulfills my needs of being a convenient, fast-food-ish, affordable place that serves Italian food, which happens to be a frequent craving of mine. The serving format is similar to a Chipotle, where there is an assembly line of people putting together a piada/bowl with your choice of pasta vs. no pasta, meat, sauce, and veggies. The piada itself is similar to a burrito, where I tortilla-like bread is wrapped around your meat/other ingredients. With some help from the staff, I opted not for the piada itself, but instead for a bowl with the tortilla inside, along with pasta, some cooked zucchini/peppers, fried calamari, tomato sauce, and some tomato and artichoke scattered on top. The final product was a giant pasta bowl, which was delicious, and enough for two meals. With both the bowl and my drink, the total was still under $10. Again, awesome. The staff themselves were very friendly and ready to help, which is always a blessing at a new restaurant. Perhaps the service could have been quicker, but I am willing to overlook that since they were so helpful and friendly. I am happy to say this is a nice addition to the area around Whole Foods, and I'd be happy to come back for more.
