"The dips (hummus and baba) were okay and less traditional than I expected. The star dishes were rakakat (cheese rolls) and the kibbeh arnabiyeh (main). I’d like to try their fish or fetteh next time!"

"great pasta con patate e provola, which feels like the southern cousin to polenta. Or the marriage of mashed potatoes and Mac & Cheese (w/ smoked Gouda cheese). It all was much lighter than it sounds!"

"Save room for dessert (cheesecake and babka)"

"This place rocks! Incredible fried chicken and sauces. More variety than bonchon"

"Really innovative and fun food that ties in American home traditions with Italian influence. Get the octopus with pepperoni cups, the mackerel, and skate piccata! Save room for grappa"

"Underrated spot, good spot, no frills, nice backyard, and a great selection of gins"
