Rating: 3.5 stars Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, it took over 45 minutes to get the food we ordered. My bolognese was delicious but a little overpriced, and the online price was lower than the price they actually have on the menu. The breakfast flatbread, according to my brother, was good but not great. Portion was large though! My dad ordered two sides and mixed them which he said was delicious. The main deduction was for the slow service and prices that were a bit too high, but it's worth a shot if you're looking for Italian food in this area.

I came here for dinner and brunch. I discovered this restaurant going for a walk around the neighborhood and was like a new spot! For dinner I got the short ribbed tortellini and a limoncello spritz that was on their happy hour menu. The tortellini was great! I also got a side Cesar salad as a starter. For the brunch I opted for their short ribbed gnocchi skillet with over-hard eggs. I got the limoncello spritz again. The food has been great but one thing that needs improvement is the service. It's pretty slow. I am not sure if it's because it is connected to the Mexican restaurant next door or not. In addition we had to ask about their specials like happy hour so they were not that forthcoming with it too. We had to ask for a lot of things that should have been a given with a server and with the restaurant not being full. I understand they just reopened with this new concept so patience is needed. Other than that minor issue, I will be back because the food was good and they have great specials.

Overall I think this restaurant has a lot of potential! I think it's important to mention I went here within the first few months of it opening and likely they are still ironing out some wrinkles. Out of all the food I had the best was the Birria pizza with consommé sauce it was so unique and DELICIOUS and salmon was seared to perfection. The sauces could be better curated. The service was excellent and the servers and management were very friendly and made a difference in the experience. On the weekends late night they have a DJ and that definitely creates a nice weekend vibe.

Chicken piccata-NOT Good
Olesya P.

Came here on Saturday for lunch. It's a new spot, so wanted to try. It was pretty empty. We were seated right away and were given menus. Place is pretty dark and has a huge area for the bar seating. But overall seating area is not very large. They have a huge list of drinks but when we asked if they can do any virgin cocktails, we were told only mojito or margarita. We had mojito which was pretty decent. We asked for water and she brought only one glass which was so weird; why do we need to share water? We ordered watermelon salad, chicken piccata and Brussel sprouts. Watermelon salad arrived first, and it was pretty small, seemed like half of the normal portion. It was very average, nothing special. Chicken piccata was absolutely horrible. It was swimming in some thick, fatty sauce with capers and artichokes. The sauce was pretty terrible, super salty and definitely not your usual piccata. Also it was super expensive. Brussel sprouts arrived after the salad but before the chicken. It was supposed to be a side dish for the chicken not another appetizer, so it was confusing why it arrived before the main course. It didn't taste very good, was overly fried and had no sauce. We asked for a sauce and they brought some Thai sweet sauce which is pretty weird at an Italian restaurant. Overall pretty bad food and really overpriced. It should I be half the price for what we got. Definitely wouldn't come back and if you decide to go, just order pizza. We didn't try it but I assume it would be halfway decent.

This restaurant was overall good. Our waitress was extremely friendly and was enthusiastic about the menu. Staff was very attentive and tended to every request we had. We went for dinner so the restaurant got quite dim inside but each table had its own lamp which was nice and provided intimate lighting. The food was delicious. All of our appetizers came out fast and had so much flavor. The penne alla vodka tasted like pasta with red sauce to me. (I think I could've made it better) overall good restaurant with friendly staff!

Lasagne rotolo
Hermun P.

What an incredible dinner! Both the service and the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the squash blossom special, which I highly recommend. Different Italian cheeses, stuffed in a squash blossom and tempura fried. I ordered the chicken Milanese, which is not on the menu but they were able to do it. They accidentally brought me out a chicken Parm, which was delicious and then sent me home with the other even though I said that was unnecessary and the chicken Parm was delicious Lisa insisted. Lisa is a doll. I highly recommend her! We also ordered the lasagna rotolo and the white pizza. Both highly recommended! With the quality of food and service being so unreliable at restaurants these days it was a refreshing dining experience and I cannot wait to return.

We have been back to Memo several times, the food is still amazing, and the service was on point! The service was fantastic and the music from across the street made it a great experience!

Had a wonderful experience at Memo last evening! Had low expectations with the other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised! Wonderful food and fast service. Local neighborhood charm. We especially loved the italian sausage. Will return again soon!

We finally checked out The Kitchen and it was a total hit! First and foremost, the food was…read moreabsolutely awesome. I highly recommend the brussels sprouts appetizer, everyone in our party loved them. Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. To top it off, the waitstaff was absolutely fantastic. They were funny, engaging, and really made the whole experience feel special. Be sure to read through some of the notes written in the "guest book" you get when signing your check! The space is pretty small, so you'll probably need reservations to snag a spot. It's also very fairly priced for the quality you're getting.

I remembered this spot from when it was Green Springs. This bistro is terrific - it has the perfect mix of options for brunch. Would look forward to trying it for dinner. The food was still great and the service was fast and friendly. We didn't over indulge. We just enjoyed a Fried Green Tomato BLT and BLT Benedict - crispy potatoes on the side were divine. Love the setting of the restaurant - it's in a repurposed bungalow. We also sat in the front of the restaurant - it's bright and cheery and quiet - would definitely recommend this spot if you can snag it. The atmosphere in other parts of the restaurant are cozy too - but this spot feels very quiet, even though it's upfront and next to the front door. Would love to come back for another visit. Bonus is getting to visit the market on Sunday right afterwards!
