Exploring and craving Italian food, I came across this location which has great reviews. Upon arrival plenty of parking , mid day place was empty with no wait time. Place is nice and clean and open with outside and indoor dining, I liked their gluten free options but disappointed because no bread is available to order during lunch hours only dinner and I love to enjoy my pasta with bread. I ordered the penne Michelangelo gluten free pasta, sauce was bland little oily and the pasta was cooked well. The order of the fettuccine cartoccio had several sea food, sauce also oily and the calamari was inconsistent with some under or overcooked. Lastly was the grande lasagna bolognese and it was overstuffed with ricotta cheese overpowering everything and a little oily as well. Not sure if its a place I would come back to but was disappointed with the oily, bland sauces and the no bread with pasta.

It’s not on the menu but they usually have Gluten Free bread for sandwiches, toast, and French Toast, plus GF waffles. Great service and Get the Peach Iced Tea! 😍

Pretty standard bagel cafe. I loved they had gluten free bagels (plain and whole grain) and plenty of cream cheeses and filling options. I tried the smoked salmon scrambled (breakfast) and it was delicious. The pineapple juice was ok. I think next time I'll try the freshly squeezed orange juice instead.

Lots of Gluten-free & Vegan options, which was great for my friend with major allergies. The guys who worked there are total foodies and we're passionate about talking about their home-made syrups and such! I got the Fall Spice latte which was delish. I wish they had sandwiches, but what they do serve, they serve with excellence.

This new fusion concept is just gorgeous. This living room occupies the space that was a Starbucks and a small Italian restaurant. The left side of the space is the café side and the right is the restaurant. The menu is delightful and the ambience memorable! The only good addition would be a little more options for gluten-free.
