I wish I could give 10 stars!

This restaurant is an absolute gem for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful pasta and heavenly crepes! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The menu offers an incredible range of pasta dishes, each more delicious than the last. The sauces are rich, the pasta is perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming.

The crepes, though, are truly something special! Whether you’re in the mood for a savory option or a sweet treat, their crepes are expertly crafted and filled with the freshest ingredients. I tried the ham and cheese crepe, which was light, buttery, and delicious, followed by a Nutella and banana dessert crepe that was absolutely divine.

What sets this place apart is not just the food, but the attention to detail and excellent service. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to offer great recommendations. They clearly care about providing a memorable dining experience.

Whether you’re here for a quick lunch, a cozy dinner, or just to indulge in some of the best crepes around, this restaurant delivers on all fronts.

We came mainly for coffee but the menu looked interesting and the service was wonderful. Very nice ambience, I'll be sure to come again next time I'm in the area.

It's worth the 2 hr drive when we want to get their pesto pasta. We have not had a bad experience the times we have gone.

Been there before and enjoyed it and recommended the place to my friend and family. This week on my second visit food was not the same quality or ingredients. Not sure if I want to go there again. But the pizza is the best I ever tasted so far. To be more specific of the dish that disappointed me, it was the burger wrap.

i am unsure exactly what went so wrong with me and my boyfriends experience compared to everyone elses, but this was legit one of the WORST dining experiences we have ever had. the waitstaff were inattentive, rude/curt, couldnt bother to explain or answer any questions in regards to our allergies and dietary restrictions, or even the menu in general. we could barely ever get any help from our waitress. the set up of the restaurant felt like it was set up by 50 year old upper middle class white lady realtors with no real sense of design beyond vapid suburbanite decor. the killing blow was that the food was ice cold and terrible. my boyfriends sandwich in particular tasted like all the ingredients were freezerburned and had been sitting in the fridge for a few weeks too long. absolutely NOT fresh. when mentioning this to our waitress, she stared with empty eyes, took our plates to "heat them up", only for them to return 30 seconds later like she stuck them under the weak heat lamp before placing them down again. i have had better food at olive garden. this place was absolutely horrid and im surprised it still stands. all i hope is someone saves that poor iguana.

My mom and I thought we would enjoy this place for lunch, however the service wasn’t that good. We didn’t know who our server was and we had to wave someone down to order. The girl who did take our order seemed like she was annoyed or had an attitude. It took us almost an hour to get our food and when we did my mom’s food was cold.
