We had a party of 8 for a birthday party (which coincided with Valentine's Day) and we're seated on their patio. The heater that they had pinted at us was so hot that it made sitting at the table unbearable and unfortunately, the restaurant was not able to 'relocate' us to a different table. The food was subpar, half of our table didn't finish their appetizers and main course. The server, while extremely friendly was a bit flustered. The service itself was slow probably due to being understaffed for a holiday. This was definitely an absolutely negative experience, to say the least

We started with the clam chowder and it was delicious! The clams were tender and the broth was delicious. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was absolutely delicious! I had the Asian salad with salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. The fish was so crunchy and light. I wish I had order his fish. But my salmon was cooked to perfection and the greens were fresh. The salad dressing was a vinaigrette and my only concern was that it needed more flavor. But the textures of the currants and cashews were really very good. We had the sticky toffee pudding cake with ice cream for dessert to go. It was also really yummy and light. This is one of our favorite places and we will be back soon!

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go to breakfast this morning because the City of Willoughby (in…read moretheir infinite wisdom) decided to block off the entirety of downtown for a festival. So no one could reach the downtown businesses. So on my way home I came across "Cafe Europa and Bistro" in the Pineridge shopping plaza. It's a small storefront in the middle of the plaza, run by a European family - husband, wife, and son. When I walked in I was a bit surprised that the place was entirely empty because the parking lot was nearly full. The son greeted me warmly and told me to choose any table. He brought me water (spring water) and a menu. We chatted a little. I read the short, very to the point, breakfast menu. And settled on the "Healthy Breakfast". The young man was exceedingly friendly and kept up a running conversation the entire time. His mother was in the kitchen preparing my breakfast. And the entire thing took on a surreal feeling as if I was in the kitchen of their home as a guest. A marvelously fresh breakfast appeared very shortly thereafter and I began my breakfast, as the running conversation (admittedly a bit one sided) continued. An oversized mug of excellent coffee appeared quickly that really was excellent. Time flew by and before I knew it I was reading to leave. The young man asked if I would like a ginger shot, on the house before I left. I thanked him but said no. I paid my $16 bill and after a few pleasantries, departed. All in all it was an unusual experience. Excellent food, good service, nice people... but maybe a little too personal... maybe? I don't know. It was just different. I guess I would just say you should give it a try and see what you think.

The atmosphere felt genuine and community-driven. The food was the highlight-easily one of the most creative, thoughtful, and flavorful breakfast experiences I've had in the area in a long time. The originality of the dishes really stood out. The grits, in particular, were excellent-something that's surprisingly easy to get wrong, but they executed perfectly. One of the most impressive aspects was the takeout quality. I ordered a meal to go and didn't eat it until 15-20 minutes later, yet it still held up incredibly well-no reheating needed. That level of consistency is hard to achieve. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot to friends and colleagues.

Not terrible by intent--but stretched absurdly thin. One server, too many tables, and a look in their eyes like they've seen things. The whole place is wildly inefficient, overpriced, and serving food that barely justifies the effort. It's not a cozy Italian spot--it's a sports bar in disguise. And once that illusion breaks, all that's left is the echo of shouting, clinking glass, and unmet expectations.

The chicken Parmesan was one of their specials and it came with soup and a salad. The portion was huge and that chicken was the most tender juicy chicken, I think I've ever had.

The service was very good. It was surprisingly busy for a Thursday night at 7 o'clock, which speaks to the fact that it's really a well loved establishment. I want to mention it was also very clean, including the restrooms. For all the food we were served and the excellent quality, I give it the highest ratings.
