Food:I ordered the Greek-style Baby Red Romaine Salad with tomatoes, cucumber, mixed olives, red onions, oregano, and crispy phyllo-wrapped feta. But the star salad was the grilled squid and octopus with a vinaigrette of chickpeas, tomatoes, toasted [...]

Food:While their pasta is homemade and their salads look fresh, I always get the Crudo pizza with prosciutto di parma, tomato sauce, and mozzarella. On top of the pizza are [...]
