Then I opened the sandwich and it had 2 pieces of meat and 2 pieces of cheese, with a handful of arugula. This is not enough substance for the price. The meat and cheese needs to be at least double the portion to justify the price. The workers were very friendly and kind but I can't justify frequenting at that price point. $31 for a lunch that's mostly bread is just too much.

There was only a manager and a single server, but both did an amazing job at being welcoming and attentive. Cozy ambiance, great food and incredible service makes this spot a must visit!

Redemption! Hopefully the ricotta incident was a one time faux pas! The parm was back to normal!…read more Okay, I may have been a bit harsh for a one time mistake. The last time I was that upset with a restaurant it took me 9 years to give them another try, Luckily for me, my wife really likes their chicken parmigiana and the boys like the garlic knots and fettuccine Alfredo; so I had to order last night. I did add a comment "No Ricotta!!!!" For the Eggplant parmigiana order. They must have seen my review, because not only was there was no ricotta, they included two cake slices, a lemon one and a chocolate one. That was appreciated, but even more so was the delicious Parm I know and love!

The raspberry cannoli was a fun twist on the classic unique, flavorful, and worth trying. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. A solid lunch spot that locals should definitely have on their radar!

Although both serve excellent food, every other detail was exceeded tonight. The environment and service were outstanding. Their wine list is extensive, and their $35 corking fee is par with other similar restaurants. The shrimp & grits were good, with just the right flavors in the stock. Although some of my shrimp were overcooked, the other nuances of the dish more than overcame that oversight. The squash blossoms with goat cheese was also a perfect start to my meal. Among the many fine dining options in Leesburg, this is definitely a spot to return many times.

The food felt elevated but in a super casual environment. I tried their shrimp skewers which had a great blackened spice blend and of course I had to try their pizza and it was hard to choose from their long list of choices but decided on "La Bella" which consisted of Prosciutto, Arugula, Garlic spread and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Great tasting pie with the right amount of char from the wood fire and the saltiness/umami from the ingredients. Excellent experience!

I got the gyro salad and they were kind enough to swap fries for a small pita, extra greens and tomatoes, with an olive oil and vinegar dressing. It was fantastic. The only downside, which I think was a little unreasonable, is that a mandatory gratuity of 20% is charged on all parties of three or more. So mom, dad, two kids is 20% mandatory; four colleagues. That's excessive for me. I understand the industry norm of 10 or more, even 8 or more, but.. THREE?? For that I wouldn't come back with my family but I would with a friend. That aside and limiting my review to what I experienced, the interior if nice and comfortable, booths are in good shape, there's a nice Christmas tree for the holidays, and the menu is plentiful. A blend between greek and Italian, with some Americanized comfort food thrown in. Pretty much soothing for everyone - a good lunch spot.

I read that the crab soup is very good so I asked if I could substitute that for the fries. (The regular price of the cup of crab soup is $5). The server said there would be a "small upcharge" for soup instead of fries and I said that was fine with me. Well, when my check came I was a little shocked that the "small upcharge" was actually $4, so not quite a small upcharge in my opinon? Had I known I would have just taken the fries to go. $21 plus tip for lunch is pretty pricey. Don't know if I'll be back again.

After noticing there was an Italian restaurant at Leesburg Village Market, I went home and looked…read moreat their menu and Yelp reviews. Seeing that their recent reviews were good, we decided to give them a try. We were here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. for an early dinner. The place had a few occupied tables, including a large party. Our server, Steven, was prompt in getting to us and asked what we wanted to drink. I chose sweet iced tea while my husband had a Heineken 00. We decided to start our meal by sharing a caprese. It consists of: "Fresh mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, olive oil, basil, balsamic reduction." There were 5 slices of tomato, each topped with a generous slice of mozzarella. We enjoyed this starter. The tomatoes were ripe, and the balsamic reduction added a nice flavor. For dinner, I ordered "lobster and crab ravioli, which consists of: "Brandy cream sauce, jumbo lump blue crab". This dish had 4 raviolis. From their appearance, one could tell they were handmade. The brandy cream sauce was well-balanced. I was glad to see that the brandy didn't take over the sauce, but rather, it complemented it quite well. I could taste the lobster and crab. The one thing I didn't like was the cost. For that reason, when we return for a meal, I would choose a different entree. Before heading here, I looked at the menu and told my husband that I thought he would like "Sausage and peppers rustica". This dish consists of: "Italian sausage, roasted peppers, red onions, cavatappi, spicy marinara, mozzarella". He looked at the description and said that's what he would order. The dish arrived hot and remained hot through the meal. It was quite filling and tasty. We actually had some room for dessert, so we agreed to share a serving of Tiramisu. It consists of:"Award-winning layered creamy rum-flavored mascarpone cheese, espresso-soaked lady fingers, espresso sauce". This dessert was quite tasty. The espresso added a nice flavor, and the whipped cream on top was a nice touch. Service from start to finish was excellent. The young woman at the host stand was friendly. We liked that she wiped down the menus before giving them to us. Steven, our server, was prompt, friendly, and efficient. He checked with us during the meal but wasn't overbearing.

I checked the map and directory of where it may be and used my internal GPS to guide my way to where I think it may be. I may be a great partner on The Amazing Race as your Navigator! Lol. The food was okay. My Brussels were very fiberous and inedible. The zucchini frite was the hero of the evening! The sauce that accompanied it was divine and the most flavorful sauce they brought to the table. My coworker enjoyed her meal! I would order something different next time. Our waiter said the Brussels are always like that. Nah, 86 those or figure out how to make them more tender. You're already going to be passing horrible gas and you don't need the eating process to be tedious. I have braces and almost dislodged a bracket.
