We had our rehearsal dinner here earlier this month and it was lovely! Harry and Heather went above and beyond to make this evening so nice for us. This establishment is BYOB, which is a plus. They have gluten-free pasta! You heard me GLUTEN-FREE and it's delicious. They are also able to make other dishes gluten-free which is really considerate. We have never had a dish here we didn't like. Their flash-fried spinach and artichoke dip are great apps! An Erie Gem for sure!! Highly recommend!!

Nothing more to say but you have to eat here. The staff and owners are amazing and make you feel like home. Food is outstanding. Thank you!!!

Great chef and waitstaff. The food is excellent and prepared for each person. I love the atmosphere. One of those out of the way places that only the locals know about.

The website was misleading showing a highly organized establishment with beautiful serve ware and neatness and beautiful food preparations. It was not. Our silverware was dirty, we were not offered water and when we finally did get water some old food item was stuck in the glass. flies were all over the place and one ultimately ended up in my food and could not escape. Upon leaving we noticed a door to the kitchen from the street had no screen on it nor window - allowing bugs to fly into the kitchen. The food was very good though despite the surroundings. Clean it up and you’ll make money

Worst dining experience I have EVER had. Our servers got into an argument amidst the dinner and they were arguing within earshot of our table. Everyone in our party was served separately and some didn’t even receive a dinner until half of the table was finished eating. The server was intoxicated and clearly running around to accommodate a 12 top table, after getting into an argument with another server who walked out due to the woman’s intoxicated mannerisms. We began with 2 servers and one walked out of her shift. After waiting for another hour for our bills we choose not to leave a tip due to poor service, and the extremely unprofessional server. While the server was trying to accommodate for the other server who walked out half way through her shift, she noticed that we hadn’t left a tip and began swearing at us for not leaving a tip, then threw the bill at my boyfriend and I. I will never return to this establishment nor will I tell anyone else to dine here. Throughout the entire dinner the woman serving us was arguing and making this establishment look absolutely TERRIBLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. I am beyond words as an individual who has worked in the service industry. Honestly appalled at this establishment. I would never treat customers the way I was treated tonight. Why would I leave a tip after an experience as such?

The food may be good because the reviews says that it’s good, but it is not up to my clean standards at all. Outside needs to be groomed and landscaping taken care of, inside really needs a deep clean especially the bathrooms and back rooms, too much clutter everywhere. I was concerned about food poisoning because If the bathrooms are dirty and dusty, who knows what the kitchen looks like? I feel bad but at the same time they need to brush up on their cleaning.

The staff were friendly and very attentive!Food was good too!Definitely worth a visit if your in the area and want fresh food!

What a pleasurable experience! Harry outdoes himself! The quality of the food is outstanding, from appetizer to dessert, with so many interesting options, from Italian to traditional American fare but with an upbeat twist. Our server, Heather, was a delight…personable, knowledgeable, made our experience even more special. The ambience is fun, a little SoHo, a real gem for Erie!

I really wanted to love this place. Upon walking in it was …..weird. Random decor everywhere with no cohesiveness. There was a dog walking around and barking. I know that that’s not up to health code. We weren’t brought water til 20 minutes after we ordered upon which the waitress also complained to us about the customer next to us. Weird. We got there at 5:15, ordered at 5:20 or so and got our food after 630. It was us and one other table. In the meantime we were brought salad w homemade dressing which consisted mostly of Mayo. Gross. We were brought bread, sliced, white, microwaved bread. What? The owner was walking around and no one acknowledged that our food was taking forever. The cook came strolling out to grab stuff from the cooler which was behind the bar. The whole set up was weird. The back room where they apparently hold parties was packed with stuff and just a mess. That’s where the server and owner were sitting and chatting 45 minutes after we ordered. When the food did come the maple glaze on the salmon clearly needed to be reduced. Idk if it was lack of technique or time or both but it was all over the plate like water. Mashed potatoes were not fresh. They were dry and bland. The steak risotto has steak in it, somewhere, but not cooked to the temp we asked, and it was hidden. So why bother asking how we want it cooked? Overall I could’ve cooked a better meal at home. The paint was severely peeling, the place was a mess, service was completely lackluster and the food was mediocre at best. Don’t waste your time trying to find a nice experience here. I’m thinking since it’s BYOB people are tipsy and happy by the time the food comes so it seems better than it is. Never one apology about wait time from anyone. We will not be back and plan on discouraging others from trying it either.

This place is ADORABLE! Has a very “old school” Italian Restaurant feel. We brought our own wine and the food was delicious from beginning to end. For an appetizer we had the goat cheese dip with with apple slices. It was such a unique and delicious appetizer. They make all of their own salad dressings in house. The pasta dishes ranged from the traditional to more unique. My niece is a vegetarian and had many options to choose from, but for me - the bolognese with a meatball was delightful. And the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend.
The food was excellent!!! Large portions and everything is home made and you can definitely tell. The owner and staff were really great and it was nice talking with them. We will definitely be back the next time we are back in Erie!

The food here is amazing. And the whole crew treated us like family. I couldn't have asked for a better date night on a weekend getaway.

If you’re looking for a great restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner, this is the place to go! Amazing food, incredibly friendly and helpful staff and owners. By far the best gluten free dining options of any restaurant I’ve visited in Erie. The pricing is great, there is a beautifully eclectic atmosphere and makes for a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. Owner made sure we enjoyed our food and they went above and beyond to give us the best dining experience possible in every aspect. I cannot highlight the best part of this place because every bit of the experience was wonderful! Worth every penny spent and absolutely worth the visit, will definitely be returning myself!

Delicious Food!!! Definitely worth every penny!! The staff are the nicest people ever!! The owner was walking around checking in on his customers! I mentioned how I loved their bread dipping oil and the waitress gave me some to take home. Everything is homemade! Its 100% a hidden gem.
