The gumbo was an absolute perfect choice to order and the short ribs were perhaps the MOST tender I've ever had in a restaurant!

There were plenty of indoor seating option available too. You are able to build your own bowl or order one of theirs. I decided to do the Harvest Bowl with a side of bread. The people who worked here were kind. My best friend and I ordered the same thing. I will say the bowls I saw other people get looked really delicious too. The natural lighting that flows into this space is very dreamy. I love how affordable the bowls are and how I had leftovers. I'd recommend coming here for a quick wholesome lunch.

The cashier was able to make recommendations and was super patient, which I appreciated. Our takeout order took about 15-20 minutes to make, but everything was fresh. You can also dine in as well, they do have seating and good music. We also got the Waffle Fries, Southwestern Bowl, and two strawberry lemonades. Total was about $50. I loved the Alfredo, it was super flavorful and I think would add even more things, plus a side of Alfredo sauce. The Southwestern bowl was good, but not as good as the Alfredo. I think it just depends on your preferences.

OTOH, he came to my rescue immediately when my cane fell over. The other server took our order and seemed much more engaged with the customers overall. The food. OMG. Gorgeous presentation, ample portions, amazing flavor blending. Flawless. Spouse had grilled broccoli appetizer and I sampled one. I need to try to make this. I had the crab cake appetizer; beautiful plate and so yummy I nearly inhaled it. I'm writing this as it happens, so my mood is better now that I'm not hangry. Entree: Salmon, asparagus, kale. I never liked kale until I had this crunchy grilled or maybe broiled curly leaf. He had a massive pork chop with a bell pepper and lemon sauce and about a quart of mashed potatoes. And promises he has room for dessert. I want an espresso and maybe cake, because I am 74 today. Chocolate cake. Even if I have to put it in my second stomach. Nice birthday lupper (lunch/supper).

This is the part where I wax poetic about how ill-designed dining is for solo diners, and how this…read moreis doubly if not quadruply true in Italian restaurants. I want to have the pasta, but this is meant to be shared amongst the table, not devoured by one person, but I digress. I walked in during what ended up being brunch, and while the regular menu was not technically available, the bar-server offered to ask the kitchen if I wanted something specific. That something was the Tuna Tartare, which the kitchen obliged (thank you very much). While a simple dish, it was executed supremely well. The olive oil was of such quality and robust flavor I asked the kitchen what brand they use, the avocado was at the peak of ripeness, and the house-made chips were oozing with homemade perfection. The fish was of high quality, and the ginger-orange gelatine added a subtle flavor and texture which was very unique, both as a flavor, but more so in execution! Now, to be fair, while this was not my favorite iteration of this dish, it doesn't take away from the quality and precision of execution. As my main, I ordered the Basil Pesto Brunch Gnocchi. The sauce was, true to form, very earthy, creamy, and basil-y without being overpowering. The gnocchi themselves were soft and pillowy, some of the best I'd had! The accoutrements of egg, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms helped add new dimensions to the dish, adding those lightly meaty, acidic, and generally umami notes. The pork belly, meanwhile, was lost on me. Coming back to this review, I was frankly surprised they were included! Maybe this is me showing why I can't hack it as a professional, paid, restaurant critic, or maybe they were in fact, omitted. An area where Ascione Bistro shines is the service. The bar-server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out reasonably fast, especially since I could see into their kitchen, the pace of which reminds me of The Bear (don't worry, no yelling or profanity could be heard). Final verdict: Ascione appears to be a very busy spot, and for good reason. They have well executed, unique, and flavorful dishes, complemented by great service. If we pretend me not picking up on the pork belly is a 'me' issue, then the experience was flawless... except that I should have found more people to come with me, as the gnocchi loaded me with carbs, and I ended up taking half-ish home.

When I walked in, there were a total of 6 customers including myself in the restaurant; a couple together in line and 3 already sitting. The cashier had a chill vibe overall. I ordered Biscuits & Gravy w/soft scrambled eggs and drip black coffee. Total with tip; $28.44. I sat myself and waited probably no longer than ten minutes and a gentlemen brought my food out. Presentation was decent, but... The food wasn't hot whatsoever. For them to only have 6 guests and during what would be deemed breakfast time, it indicates they weren't busy. So I didn't understand the cold food. The gravy was lukewarm at best, the biscuits definitely tasted like day old and were so salty in certain bites. They were flaky and really good in other bites. The eggs were the same; lukewarm. It was as if the food was made and sat on the counter the ten minutes I waited. In terms of flavor, it was decent, but the inconsistencies and temperature leaves room for improvement. Not sure I'll be returning unfortunately.
