We had a wonderful experience this evening! Our waitress Melissa was very polite, sweet, and took time to answer all our questions! She kept our sweet tea full! The food was so delicious and being someone who cooks most meals from scratch, my husband and I are typically disappointed when we go out to dinner, but not this time! We will definitely be returning customers! We also had to other people check on us (possibly the owners?) which we really appreciated.

We were there for their “soft opening” the night before the official opening for their tasting. Everything I tried that was gluten free was perfect. We went back Friday August 11th for lunch. I had the gluten free pizza. In fact it was the Blanco pizza. The dough is hard to believe that it is gluten free. It is so airy and tasty. Also don’t forget to try their Cinnamon/White Chocolate iced latte!

I don’t like giving bad reviews. We were so excited about eating here. We’ve been anxious waiting for them to open. We drove 25 min to eat here. They were not taking reservations since it was a special night in. So no problem, we waited an hour to get a seat. That was no problem at all. But it’s very hot in there! Probably 80 degrees. It’s cooler outside. We finally get seated and our waitress was alright. She didn’t know any of the menu and couldn’t answer any questions. We were still hopeful. There was a lady there who was very nice walking around. We appreciated that. After an hour of waiting on our food it finally comes out. We got four plates with a limited menu and it took over an hour from the time we ordered. That would have been okay as long as the food would have been good. The food was subpar at best. The sauce tasted like it came out of the can of chunky canned spaghetti sauce. I want this little restaurant to make it but I don’t know if it will unless it changes quite a few things. It was by far the most expensive worst meal we had. Also, the bathrooms are disgusting! I have seen gas station bathrooms cleaner. The bathrooms are outside. While we were eating the waitress were carrying rolls of toilette paper through the restaurant.

The pizza was delicious and I cannot wait to sample everything on the enticing menu. The staff is very helpful and informative, and attentive. Dreamy sophisticated ambiance and all this for a very reasonable price. Don’t miss this fantastic new restaurant in Forest City.

It’s a shame when an Italian restaurant messes up lasagna. The appetizers were very good (saving them from a 1 on food). We had the Bruschetta, garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms. Thankfully our waitress, Melissa, was rock solid and friendly but even she couldn’t justify the mozzarella triangle things when the table next to us gave them a less than glowing review. The atmosphere is perfect at the outside seating and we had a great time hanging out with our good friends. How does someone burn the bottom of lasagna??

They opened on August 8th, and we were their first customer, yeah!! Everything was good, and they seemed to be organized, considering it was their first day. We look forward to going back soon!!

My family had a great time here! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, it was hard to decide what to order. Our waitress was very kind. Can’t wait to come back and try more menu items!

Never even got to taste the food I ordered! Tried eating inside with a total group of 4 people the day of Hot Nights Cool Rides. That place has zero coordination among the staff and no good communication with their customers. After over an hour of waiting for the food to be served we decided as a group to leave. $8 for 2 sweet teas, 1 lemonade, 1 water and the lady dealing with our money got told to keep the full $10 after she wanted to walk away before giving the change. I would not recommend this place to anyone ever nor would I even attempted to eat anything here ever again.
