"A neighborhood gem! There are only a handful of tables at this low key Italian and Greek restaurant. We shared a large Manoli pizza and large super salad. Both were fabulous. The super salad had fresh romaine, carrots, cabbage, sliced tomatoes, onions (somewhat treated but I'd skip next time, and the star, the homemade mozzarella with a zingy Italian dressing. It was refreshing and addictive. I could eat this nonstop. The Manoli pizza had a large amount of toppings: Tomato sauce, mozzarella, meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, ham, onions, red peppers, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, and basil. None of the ingredients was overly salty and it ended up quite balanced and tasty. Perfect chew and crunch...

The parking in back is plentiful so that is a plus. The food here is well made but at least for the dishes I had, not spectacular. There was nothing wrong with the food it just was average in my opinion. The big dinner salad with fresh mozzarella was served with a yuzu vinaigrette like dressing, which was pretty good. We also had a chicken kabob and the spaghetti and meatballs. They were well cooked but I would not consider that enough for 4 stars. Wait staff did a satisfactory job. I am sure it is a fine local restaurant but not worth a special trip in my opinion.

I ordered a Meat Lasagna and an order of 3 meatballs to go. When I tried it at home, there was no meat, but instead eggplant, which I dislike. I called and spoke to someone who insisted it was a meat lasagna. He said that's the only one they have. There may have been a meat flavor in the sauce, but they should either make a meat lasagna or advertise it as an eggplant lasagna. My friend also tried it and agreed that even the eggplant was average. Lastly, the 3 meatballs were the size of golf balls and had a very average flavor. I support local restaurants, but not at the expense of having good food. While I appreciate restaurateurs in general, I will not be supporting this one again.
