hilarious rustic chicken panini salads outdoor seating bacon blue cheese
Jane Friedman

Nothing fancy pants - just good Italian comfort food . Great outdoor seating ; cozy indoor in rustic Italian style

Steve Sluss

The chicken panini and the bacon blue cheese spinach salad were both wonderful. Add that with the mimosas and it was a wonderful experience. We couldn't ask for a better server than Katie.

Adam Moss

Small spot on the mall . Classic Italian dishes and pizza in an intimate dining room with an open kitchen .
