    Shared the Grilled Chicken sandwich and Spicy Feta Dip during happy hour. I’m still dreaming of that focaccia! It’s rare to find food this fresh in Nolita.

    Sunday brunch here is a ritual now. Spinach & Egg Skillet hits the spot every time. Love the rustic plates and Mediterranean touches. Never rushed, always relaxed.

    If you're into wine and vibes, this is your place. We had the Octopus and Burrata—unreal combo. Slightly salty breeze through the open window, jazz playing, date night perfection.

    Their Zucchini Pancakes reminded me of my grandmother's cooking—crunchy on the edges, soft inside, full of herbs. The staff was kind even though we stayed past closing.

    We came here after work for a quick bite and left with full hearts. The Avocado Toast was creamy, perfectly spiced, and that poached egg? Heavenly. Cozy vibe, great lighting, music not too loud.

    A perfect brunch spot! The French Toast was pillowy soft and loaded with fresh fruits. We sat near the window and the morning light made it feel even more special.

    The Spinach & Egg Skillet is hands down one of the most balanced breakfast dishes I’ve had. The red lentils were a surprising but welcome touch.

    We came for happy hour and couldn’t stop dipping into the Spicy Feta Dip. Walnut and dill? Genius combo! Plus, the music was chill and just right.

    My friend tried the Ribeye Sandwich and I had the Grilled Chicken. Both were served on amazing rosemary focaccia—total game changer!
