First, of hopefully, many more visits. Turkey leg was absolutely delicious. Seafood Saganaki & Bobota Greek Cornbread were "to die for". We will be back!!

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We thought it was what we were looking for something different. Service was outstanding staying patient with us explaining how things worked.

All were fantastic some a little different but still delicious. All and all it met all the criteria we were looking for. Not disappointed and would definitely recommend and return.

Amazing place - I loved it. Worth the wait. Friendly staff, hard working people. Knowledgeable sommelier. The food is well prepared, packs big flavor, made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The place is crowded, busy and loud. If you like that, you'll love this little piggy.

I took my cousin here to try it out and I can say... the food was great. I loved the tagliatelle with fresh black truffles. And the steak blade was so good. For dessert we had the blackout cake and it was awesome! Go eat eat at purple pig.
