They have such a wide selection of oils, and I really appreciated that many come with recommended recipes. It makes it so easy to try something new at home. One of my favorite parts was being able to taste the oils before buying. It made the whole experience fun and helped me choose exactly what I wanted. I also couldn't resist picking up a handmade ceramic garlic grater. it's beautiful and made such a perfect gift! The staff are incredibly lovely, friendly, and helpful, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping by!

But the product really does speak for itself. I've had the lemon balsamic, the fig balsamic, the pomegranate balsamic, the Persian lime olive oil as well as the olive wood smoked oil. They were all dynamite!! Chicken marinated in the fig balsamic will change your taste buds! The store is cute, clean, well-lit and you can sample any product you like. Dorothy will provide you a sample of as many products as you ask for (I know from experience lol). I cannot recommend this store enough for your culinary needs. Any one of the products here makes a fantastic holiday gift for the home cook in your life!!

Hit up Mi Scuzi for the first time since they moved to the mall for my partners birthday dinner…read more We got an incredible little Tuscan loaf of bread with two very good spreads. An artichoke and cheese spread which was tasty, cheesey, warm and near perfect. As well as a fig mascarpone spread that might be worth more than gold per ounce. Sweet and creamy. So fricken good. I went with the tour of Sorrento All three sauces were distinctly varied and all three very much to my liking The basil Alfredo sauce being my personal favorite. Both red sauces had a level of heat that were perfect for the sampler I received. Ravioli Arancini And the stuffed pepper were all near perfect. Our bartender was attentive, polite, and competent. If I have criticisms- It's busy. It's Christmas time - at the mall. So I get it. But the tables here are more on top of each other and the bar area then they were at the old location. I think less clunky chairs would make it feel a bit more light, airy, open and less crowded. The other thing I would like to see a bit different is how reservations work. We walked in at 6:00 and the hostess asked if we had a reservation We did not She acted like -oh this might be terrible- we might not have a seat for you- so you think you can sit at the bar? Actually we prefer to sit at the bar - Better for people watching and hearing all the gossip - so it was not an issue for us at all. The issue is we sat at the bar for an hour... and all around us tables sat empty. One of the things I enjoyed about going out to eat in Europe is when you walked in- they would say - we can seat you- but we will need that table by X time. To get it ready for the next reservation. They had us sat and beveraged in 3 minutes. Fat, happy, and ready for bed less than an hour after walking in the door. The experience was very very good in my opinion. A bit pricey 120 for 1 glass of wine, 2 beers, an app, and 2 right sized portions of excellent food and tip - but less than you'd spend in most other cities. It's efficient and very very good. A bit more finesse and it would be incredible. And sorry - I start eating and then remember - oh I'm a famous food critic- I should take a picture of this before it's gone... And I'm a terrible photographer for a decent artist.

The appetizer we ordered was the Fresh Tomato Pepperonata... this was a 10/10... it was amazing and gr8 way to start the meal! Perfect way to get in your vegetables. Was a little disappointed that the server picked it up without asking us... since almost half the plate was still left. We also ordered the "Sicilian" with Chicken Pizzette. This was also a 10/10! Our favorite of the night. The artichoke, Spinach, and tomato combo created blast of flavor in your mouth. The Carbonara was a 3/10. The server mentioned it would be more creamy and saucy and we were ok with that. For us it was WAAAY to salty. Not sure what happened there. Could have been the prosciutto as mentioned by the chef, but unsure. They were gracious enough to take it off the bill. We'll be back for sure. If you're in the Erie area and craving Italian food, definitely worth checking it out especially if you're near Peach street.

Again, it's fine. Overall, it does the job if you're looking for carbs.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Erie so I can order again and try more items from their menu. Solid choice for quick, high-quality Mediterranean food--highly recommend!

It was pretty busy for a Tuesday night and they just had one girl working who was doing a fantastic job. She was waiting tables, and cashing out customers, and trying to help with the DoorDash orders. It is a nicely decorated restaurant inside with cute wood cuttings on the walls. We sat in a booth near the back. We ordered the baba ghanoush, which was a large portion and came with pita bread. The pita bread could've been a little fresher I think that was our only complaint. The dip was great though, very flavorful & topped with tomatoes. I ordered the chicken Shawarma platter & it came with a massive amount of kepsa rice (you can also just get plain rice, but I do recommend this special kind of rice cooked in tomato and seasonings). I got lentil soup as my side. My husband got the chicken kebab platter and I have to say after tasting the kebab that it was outstanding and I liked grilled kabobs even better than my chicken Shawarma. He had a nice size side salad as his side, and he also ordered a lentil soup in addition which comes with lemon & crispy pita chips. We had an entire box of food, including probably 4 cups of rice and half of both of our chicken portions to take home. We also had a little bit of the baba ghanoush pita bread to take home as well. We would definitely return to this place. They had free refills on sodas as well. As we were leaving, a guy came in trying to order and kept asking the price... Whatever he wanted to order he did not have enough money for and the girl finally said don't worry about it. She'll take care of it and she'll let him order it anyway! So that was nice. I mean that's not something that normal restaurants would do!

Beechwood Inn's Hardwood Grille operates as it's own business inside of Erie Brewing Company, even though it is basically a part of them - kind of like the kitchen used to be in a lot of taverns. But none of that matters when it comes to the food you can get. I most recently ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos - medium rare, of course - and damn! were they good! Everything I've ever had here has been top-notch, and it all pairs exceptionally well with the beers offered at Erie Brewing Company. The staff are some of the most 'folksy' people around and you can see that they truly care about their Customers in the way they talk and act. They operate just like a short-order diner would - fast and efficient - but they never sacrifice any part of the meal they serve to do it. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to shut off the pager when it starts ringing to tell me my order is up...cause I'm usually on the other side of the room when it goes off!
