Even in the middle of the afternoon on a fall Friday, the place was packed. Still, we got seated right away. The food was outstanding. The crispy pig ears and chorizo-stuffed olives are just the most memorable among a long list of fantastic dishes perfect for sharing.

We had a 40 minute wait for our table. During the wait we ordered wine and sat outside and enjoyed the evening. The waiter was excellent. The wait was worth it. The food did not disappoint! We ordered 4 different plates and each one was prepared to perfection! The service was equally as good. Go, enjoy!

I ordered the meatballs and they were delicious. My waiter was very friendly and attentive. This was my first time there and I would definitely go back. The music does need to be turned down just a tad.

The pork shoulder is the best, tastiest and softest cut of pork meat that I have ever had. The whipped fetta cheese was a good choice for an appetizer. I would definitely go back. The atmosphere was great and the music was outstanding!
