| - My husband and I took my parents here after doing some fun things in Oakland, and what a cool experience it was! Just by observing how busy it was, from families to students, we knew it had potential.
Honestly, there were so many items I wanted to try on the menu and of course was limited to one entree. After switching back and forth 5+ times, I settled on the Farmers Market Salad. When going to order, the concept reminds you of a Chipotle or Moe's. You give your order to the first staff member and he alerts the rest of the staff lined up on what is to come. Each member has their specific job and they all worked together so well, with an upbeat, positive attitude.
By just glancing over the ingredients, it was evident that all prepped foods were as fresh as can be. From chicken right off the grill to roasted corn and homemade dressings, the selection was incredible. My salad was crisp and full of ingredients - the staff even allowed substitions when I stated my dislike for feta. It was large enough for two meals! My mother had the same entree while both my husband and father had the Pesto Pasta with added chicken - just as delicious! We topped the meal off with a pepperoni piada and a hibiscus tea drink.
If you are interested in a modern, fresh twist on Italian, give this place a shot. I look forward to another excellent experience here. I will be back for a piada or tasca!
