Don't waste your time.
We made the mistake of waiting for an hour while they prepared our food. They kept saying it was coming right up and we believed them. When it finally came, my chicken was so over cooked it was inedible and the pasta and veg were all cold.

Loved it! Super charming interior, and top notch food 👌 Had the Green Ball, heirloom tomato + burrata, and the eggplant parm with veggies + pasta... all were dynamite! The restaurant holds just 18 people, so make a reservation in advance. I highly recommend this jewel of a restaurant 🌟👍

We had a lovely dinner here tonight, capped off with the most amazing peach vanilla gelato - and it was all vegan! We got the stuffed portabella, the eggplant parm, the butternut squash soup, and the gelato. It was all absolutely delicious and our server and the chef were both lovely. Would def recommend.

We were the only customers at the time but the chef came to see how were doing which was nice and the waiter provided excellent service. The chicken parmesan was the best. The vegetables, ceasar salad w/ lemon and the garlic bread were great. The lasagna was good.

Delicious locally sourced food with great service in an intimate setting! Highly recommend the ever so fresh tasting Caesar Salad with the Ciabatta Garlic Bread. Soup of the day was a superb Potato Leek Soup. The lasagna was eccellente!

I loved everything about this place! The food was perfect. Rhe atmosphere was so cute and cozy. The eggplant parmesean was crispy and so yummy. My partner got the polenta and it was so tasty and creamy.
Multiple veggie/vegan options. And the service was pleasant and personable. Definitely coming by again!

Separate vegan menu- food is made-from-scratch fresh and very creative.
This review will not be regarding the food since we did not eat there. My wife was greeted at the entrance by whoever was working and we were refused service because we had our child with us. Granted our child and myself were standing outside. On the restaurant door it is posted that no child under 10 will be seated. We were not asked how old our child is. I understand a business asking parents to leave, or take food to go if their child is bothering the experience of other patrons or disrespecting the business, but making an assumption based on age is a very bold thing by a business. Age does not determine a child’s behavior or character. The same goes for adults. Also, on the door is a Progress Pride flag which stands for inclusion so to refuse service based on age, regardless of the law, is discrimination. I would think someone with those values which we share would understand.
While I am all for business owners having the right to do business with those they see fit, I cannot understand refusal of business based on someone’s age, instead of behavior or actions.
We ended up at Sow’s Ear where we had an excellent dinner, great service and everyone was included. If you have a child, had a child, or ever were a child I highly recommend finding somewhere else.

Quiet romantic little spot. The owner was running the entire restaurant by herself and it just made the dinner less rushed. All the food was to notch. Recommend it to anyone with patience for good food and a one of a kind dining experience.

This place is amazing! Victoria and Scott are incredible. The food is truly something special!
The decor is eclectic but very cool and the place just has such a good vibe. Honestly can’t recommend enough if you appreciate amazing food using the very best of ingredients and an owner and staff that make you feel like part of the family.

Can’t believe I wasted my money here. Food was gross. Everything was cold and tasted like the chicken was just warmed up in the microwave. We didn’t even get an eggplant for our dish but a cold chicken instead. They also charged me an extra $20 for no reason. Got the receipt and they tipped themselves. Don’t go here at all.

I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s start with the decor:
Cheesy leopard duct tape covered the menus and pepper mills. Leopard print window coverings literally covered the windows so you can’t see in or out along with some pink patterned material. The entire place was painted pink and black. Then there were some porcelain statues and nick nacks everywhere with no rhyme or reason that made you feel like you were in a nail shop mixed with a 13 year olds bedroom.
Service:
One lady…the owner…had her face covered with a mask which made it very uninviting and made me feel like maybe she was sick? There were no other workers to be seen so I’m assuming she did everything. The food came out so fast so another assumption was that the food is all frozen or premade. Definitely not fresh other than the raw vegetables.
Now the food:
I guess if you are vegan…this place is fabulous. But we aren’t and it was the exact opposite. The food is, AT BEST, just like an overpriced stouffer’s cuisine with raw vegetables on top. At the start, she offered bread for the table which we gladly said yes to…she forgot to mention that it was $10 extra!!! AND it was just ciabatta that you buy from the store that she heated up with shakey cheese, butter and some salt. Something you throw together at home where there’s nothing else to eat and you don’t feel like going anywhere. The chicken parm tasted like it was previously frozen and sat on top of a soupy tomato sauce in a bowl the size of the piece of chicken making it difficult to cut into. Then to throw raw vegetables on top was just wrong - NOT Italian food. The other dish was pretty much the same but spicy…too spicy! And I like spice. To top it all off, two entrees and the embarrassing bread ended up costing us $100 with tip. Just a complete waste of money. If she’s the only person running the place…why so expensive??
And you responded…exactly what I expected from someone that can’t make Italian food. Nooo that was not fabric…it was duct tape

If you are visiting Cambria this is a must go to for dinner, you will not regret it . First of order the garlic bread I've never tasted anything soooo good. I had the stuffed bell pepper and the taste was so good. My husband has the chicken caprese I had a bite of the mashed potatoes and it tasted so good. The service was great got to have great conversations with him and got to meet the cook/owner and got to tell her how wonderful her food is. We definitely will be back and let everyone know how amazing this restaurant is

We were there on a Saturday evening without reservation. We went in twice and they said they would be out in a minute. We waited outside for about 20 minutes. The person didn’t come out to even acknowledge or give us an update. No point in having good food if there is no basic courtesy.
