My wife, father-in-law, and I were looking for a place to grab breakfast on Christmas Eve. My…read moresister-in-law suggested Popi's Place, and I'm so glad she did! We stopped in around 9:00 on December 24th, 2024. There was a good crowd but a few tables were still available (by the time we left it was almost completely full). It has a classic diner vibe, and was nicely decorated for the holidays. I ordered the corned beef hash with two eggs over-easy, home fries, and their homemade biscuits. It might sound like a lot of food, but I tend to work up an appetite during the holidays. Everything was delicious; especially the homemade biscuits! My wife loved the Hawaiian Omelette and grilled biscuits. Make sure to get the biscuits grilled, it takes them to a whole other level. My father-in-law got the Eggs Benedict. He must have enjoyed it because he cleaned his plate! They have a coffee bar featuring a wide variety of options including Cappuccino and Lattes. They also offer smoothies. Popi's is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Next time I want to try lunch or dinner options. Service is friendly and quick; and prices are reasonable for what you get. Can't wait for my next visit.

Went here with some friends who actually recommended it from friends and Yelp…read more The exterior looked like the Italian restaurants you find in a larger city, trying hard to be noticed. The interior was in the same motif, an old school Italian restaurant that's been around for awhile. We had reservations and were sat immediately. Our server came over to our table almost immediately. He was friendly, professional and friendly and explained the menu and his recommendations. Even though the appetizers looked amazing, we opted to just order entrees as they came with a salad and pasta. We ordered 2 Chicken Parm's with a Caeser salad side and their homemade Tagliatelle pasta, Bronzino special and a Pasta (homemade linguine). I was one of the Chicken Parm's. DAMN, it was excellent! Very large portions of chicken and pasta with a tomato sauce that was absolutely one of the best I've ever had in a restaurant! It was thick, tasty and clung to the pasta and Parm. I HATE ordering pasta in a restaurant that isn't drained properly and the plate is a puddle with food sitting in it-and this WAS NOT the case! It was a big ass tasty platter of delicious food. The other plates were as large and delicious! For dessert, I had the Espresso Affogato, again DELICIOUS!!! I WILL be back to try some of the other dishes as, for me, unless they do a really good chicken parm, I won't go on!! Great job by the staff! Our table was constantly bussed, waters refilled and making sure we were satisfied.

Unfortunately, this is a one and done restaurant for me, and not one I would recommend. Sorry no…read morepictures! We were seated right away, and our server was attentive, almost a little too attentive at times that we felt rushed. The atmosphere was nice, but the restaurant is small, difficult to move around, and the lighting was darker than I prefer. We started with the fried calamari and meatballs. The calamari was good, but the meatballs were disappointing. They were about the size of golf balls which is ok but lacked flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the penne alla vodka, chicken parmesan, gnocchi, and I had the spaghetti special that was finished in a cheese wheel tableside. The presentation was fun, but the food itself just didn't live up to it. The marinara sauce across the dishes was bland, the gnocchi was forgettable, and my spaghetti portion was surprisingly small, more like an appetizer than an entrée. I almost always take leftovers home from Italian restaurants because the portions are generous and the food is rich. This time, there was nothing left because there wasn't much there to begin with. The biggest disappointment was the bread. When I go to an Italian restaurant, I expect warm, crusty Italian bread. Instead, it tasted like ordinary sliced sandwich bread. I actually like Publix bread, but that's not what I'm looking for with an Italian meal. Overall, nothing was terrible, but nothing stood out either. For the prices, I expected much more flavor, better portions, and a more authentic Italian experience.

The ambiance was a well themed modern Greek restaurant with white table cloth which made for a pleasant experience. We had the feta dip which was plentiful and delicious, but be aware it has a spicy kick to which I liked ( keep in mind I like spicy). We ordered the pastitsio and moussaka and both were large portions, the beef was tasty, the bechamel was perfect, and both were a win. If I had to make one little critique is I personally wish the eggplant was a little more tender, saying that it would not stop me from ordering it again. The complimentary warm rolls were good, and we had an orange cake for dessert, I would be happy to try some other desserts in the future. We enjoyed our experience and are looking forward to a redo in the future. Food 8.5 Service 8.5 Ambiance 9.0

The most adorable Mediterranean restaurant that makes you feel like you are actually in Greece…read more The food was phenomenal. Baked feta was a game changer. The spices and herbs were delicious. The spreads were good but nothing I would say you need to order. The eggplant spread was the best of the trio that we got (also got the hummus and spicy feta). I got the halibut special with potatoes and it was AMAZING. Cooked perfectly. A friend had the branzino which was also fantastic. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was because of the drinks. The bartender was awful and didn't make the drink the way I requested. I would suggest ordering wine or beer and avoid the cocktails

Yes, the homemade meatballs and spaghetti were delicious; however the homemade Cherry tart was beyond words - Delicious! We cannot wait to go back, especially when Vinny mentioned him and his Dad make homemade lemoncello.

My wife had the homemade fettuccine with shrimp and pistachio pesto (yes) and I had the lasagna Bolognese. The shrimp dish was amazing and quite different than the same old same old... The lasagna was good, but not over the top. I found it a little bit too "soft." and I prefer a hardier Bolognese made with pancetta, pork and beef. This was just straight beef. The homemade desserts of tiramisu and cannoli (pistachio... yes, again) were excellent. After moving here from Rhode Island, where there's an Italian restaurant in every corner and everything down here seems to be fairly mediocre...We are super happy to find this place and we'll definitely be back!
