Best eggplant parmesan I have ever had! It was fried to perfection with just the right amount of tomato sauce to parmesan ratio. The cacio e pepe was great too.

The chicken was so tender and delicious that I really wanted 3 more helpings but went for the amazing butterscotch pudding dessert! The Brussel sprouts were crispy and deliciously tossed in balsamic vinegar reduction. The pasta was served perfectly al dente which ever sauce you chose. The pomodoro sauce was just superb! It was just a little tight but otherwise the atmosphere was great as was the staff!!Parking: Best to park in the lot just off of 3rd and Bainbridge as trying to find a spot on the street is near impossible. The lot was convenient and close by, less than a block away. $15 for as long as you want on Saturday or Sunday or weeknight after 5pm. Worth it for the impeccable cuisine!!

Vegetarian options: There’s definitely vegetarian options but not vegan (which I’m fine with ).Dietary restrictions: Great at respecting restrictions though if it’s a serious allergy versus a preference I would call ahead with questions.Wheelchair accessibility: Doesn’t have an obvious ramp, but they may have one on the side entrance that I didn’t see.

Delicious cocktails -- really enjoyed The Passenger with the rhubarb amaro.I started with the Spicy Artichoke Bruschetta. They're not kidding when they say spicy. I have about a medium spice tolerance for your average white girl, but I'd say it was moderate to severely spicy. Excellent flavor, just be prepared for that hot bite. My feelings about the Basil Pesto Spaghetti are mixed. The pasta itself was that perfect chewy that fresh pasta should be. However, the basil pesto sauce was salty enough to take the dish down a level.My husband had the Caesar salad, which he said was delicious and heavy on the anchovy (in an umami way). He says the crab linguini was nicely balanced, that the crab flavor was complimented was the red sauce, not covered in any way.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options, but not much variety.

Everything one hopes for but rarely gets in a family run neighborhood restaurant. Food, first rate, service, first rate. good music and strong family vibe. Small selection of good and reasonably priced wines. Will go back.Dietary restrictions: Helpful in guiding me thru the menu with my gluten intolerance.

Cry baby is super hip. On a Friday it was busy but in a very fun way. The wait staff was remarkably friendly and attentive. Their big thing is pasta but they also do other dishes. The pasta is home made and delicious. Their eggplant Parmesan was off the hook. The soundtrack was 80s pop, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Bowie. The flourless tarte will send you to your grave a happy person. 10 out of 10 would eat again!

A favorite in the city! Super affordable dishes and delicious mixed drinks and a nice wine selection with affordable bottles. The servers are consistently kind and professional every time I’ve gone in. It never gets too hectic, so it’s nice to go on a date or to grab a meal with people you’re trying to chat with. My favorites would have to be the ceaser salad, their cacio e pepe, and their butterscotch dessert. The crispy potatoes are incredible and I tried the meatballs last night, which were perfect.

Shai (not sure if I’m spelling that right) is the reason my boyfriend & I keep coming back! Ever since the first time we visited, she has remembered us. She’s so nice, welcoming, and personable. Such a positive light. We’ve never even had her as a server, but as a hostess, food runner, and seen her around the restaurants. She’s always working whether we’re at Bridget Foy’s or Cry Baby, and you can tell she cares about her job and giving the customers a great experience. The food is good, and the atmosphere and service is always wonderful! Also, Bridget Foy’s (their other restaurant) has a great happy hour.
