This restaurant is a quaint little spot with lovely outdoor patio seating . It's very old timey and have cute little antique knick-knacks . I really wanted to take home one of the antique kettles they had on display . There is a small parking lot , otherwise on street parking.
Now for the food . Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for beets , so I had to get the Roasted Beet salad which had whipped Ricotta, sesame seeds, pickled vegetables, and red onion vinaigrette. I loved the vinaigrette it was tangy, but light . They use arugula which adds a nice earthy flavor , lots of beets , could have used a few more veggie and definitely more of the ricotta , cause that was delicious, just not much of it .
I had TRUFFLE MORTADELLA:
Mortadella with pistachio, truffled ricotta, arugula. The focaccia bread was beyond fresh , crunchy on the outside , soft inside .. swoon . This sandwich is very meat forward, the meat is salty and definitely the star. I wish the accompaniments would have just been featured a little more , more , more . All the ingredients are super fresh and tasty though . I am still wondering what was citrusy on my sandwich , but I liked that bit of zest I was getting.
The staff was super friendly and very welcoming . Even got a special treat . The chocolate chunk , pistachio and sea salt cookie , fresh out of the oven . This cookie is one of my favorites I've had , the pistachio and the salt combo is just perfect . The middle of this cookie is so Ooey and gooey , I want to try and recreate this , but please do yourself a favor and go get one .
For a drink, I tried the ANGRY ARANCIA- aperol, tequila, solerno, and citrus . This drink wasn't tequila forward , but it was light and flavorful . This drink changes to a beautiful grapefruit pink after being shaken up .
Will definitely come back, and now for sure have to try I.E Italian Eatery now that I know they are sister companies
