    A picture that supposed to be a hamburger steak.
    Nick G.

    Absolutely ridiculous!!! Zero care in the world for mobile orders to-go!! Zero!! This isn't the first time that I'm reviewing this restaurant and it deserves negative stars! We eat inside pretty often and are happy with the food and service, but EVERY SINGLE TIME that we order to-go - the food tastes and looks like the bottom of your feet after a 21 mile hike!! This is ridiculous and the absolute last time that we ever order to-go food.

    Side salad
    Stephen R.

    Seated right away. Waited on right away. Ordered side salad. Served with rotten small tomatoes. Grilled chicken plate was bland and dry as were the sweet potato fries and veggies. Pizza wasn't bad but it was dry as well needed more sauce. The highlight was the bread that came on the salad. After we told the waitress the grilled chicken was not good, the fries were bland as were the veggies, and she could see the wife was no longer eating it after a few bites, she apologized but when the bill came, she charged full price. So just beware. We will not return.

    Garlic bites with marinara sauce
    Traci B.

    The food was very tasty! Portions were generous! The waiter was young and inexperienced with very little energy or initiative. A cute little restaurant with a small bar. It's pretty because it used to be the local car repair or auto mechanic shop back in the day and they've kept the big garage door ! The food is reasonably priced. We ordered the garlic bites with marinara, club sandwich with fries (delicious but the menu says Texas toast and it was actually thin sandwich bread), the B&J burger which was very good and giant (only $10.99!), and the Pasta Breaux Bridge (chicken & tasso cream sauce & penne pasta). The pasta was good, but we expected a little more of it for $17. The house salad was fresh! Overall, we had a great experience!

    Wanted something different from my usual go to restaurant when I'm in town visiting my mom. Restaurant is in a cute old brick building with tons of metal signs. Service was excellent. It was refreshing to be seated promptly and greeted within 5 min of sitting down. I'm so used to staffing shortages and slow service. I started off with soup of day, corn and crab chowder. It was delicious and the roasted corn is a nice touch. I ordered the Étouffée/fried fish wrap with French fries and my mom ordered the special which was Étouffée and fried fish over a bed of rice with a roll and potato salad. They were basically the same dish but we loved them both. We ended our dinner with bobash cake. It was so good it reminded me of a little debbies Swiss cake roll. Will definitely keep this place in mind when I'm town.

Fortunately, there was an open table for two in the middle of the dining area. Their meatballs brought both of us back to homemade ones the two of us used to make, so instant plus for that, and the bread was also great with the given butter and marinara we had leftover. The true seller for us was the veal pasta we had. I'll crave it for a long time from now, and the pizza was also equally enjoyed. I'd also love to say the restaurant's style for inside and especially the staff folk were amazing. To our waiter Porter and another waiter Lindsey, ya'll were treasures to meet, and I have faith the other staff are equally amazing. Anyone in the area with the time and money should come to this amazing place for a special occasion, it could certainly live up to it.

Yes, it was crowded, but that's a healthy sign! In fact, we were lucky enough to find a parking space in the lot. From antipasto to dessert everything was top notch. So, we went to Italy and came back changed people. In fact, I started making my own pasta being inspired by what I experienced. There is a tremendous difference between fresh and shelf. We finally made it back to Sarrica's last Saturday, and I don't know how one could be more impressed, but they did it again! We got there early and immediately got a table. A half hour later the place was getting packed. We went straight to the Primo skipping the antipasto this time. Our food arrived quickly, and at first the portion looked smaller than before. But I was deceived! The dish was full! And delicious! And gone! I'm usually not known for cleaning my plate, but had we been in a darker corner I probably would be licking what's left! No, seriously, it's that good! This place would be popular in Sicily or Rome or Tuscany! You can tell someone in the kitchen is proud of what they're serving to be so consistent. There's no question we'll be returning - if we find a parking space!
