For Italian restaurants, this one is better than Joia.
We came for lunch. It’s empty and we chose the last booth.
At first there was only one young lady serving, who’s very pleasant and efficient, and very pretty – hope this last adjective isn’t going to get me in trouble with Yelp and anyone else.
Looking at the booth in front of us, we decided no appetizers. We’ve 3 main courses
Chicken piccata
Eggplant Parmesan
Veal Parmesan
The spaghetti is al dent and all are pretty delicious.
.., and huge portion: the reason is bec they’re off the dinner menu when we thought we ordered off the lunch menu (so many menus …) Maybe the staff should confirm it at time of ordering, to avoid any confusion. We were going to pay but they re-ran the bill. I think they put dinner menu out during the lunch time, is just to give dinners more choice.
We ended up with a few doggie bags – I took their bread too – they are warm and delicious, and probably will be threw away.
Btw, I’ve been talking about spoons (dessert mostly) – their pasta spoon is HUGE, has to be the biggest I’ve seen in a restaurant so far. Oh well, what do I know 😜
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and a happy Mother’s Day 2024 to moms.
