What to Order

David Loan
Pljeskavica
A flavorful Balkan dish that many reviewers praise for its authenticity and quality ingredients, offering a taste of home for some.
"We had a couple of pizzas and the pljeskavica, which were each incredible. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients; honestly, it felt more authentic than the meals I’ve had traveling abroad."
Luka Petrusevski
Chicken Parmesan
A generously sized and flavorful chicken parmesan, praised for its juiciness, cheesy goodness, and crispy edges.
"Our entree was a very generously sized chicken parmesan, more than enough for two. It was juicy, flavorful, and cheesy. The chicken had some crispy edges that added to the mouth feels."

Carbonara
A rich and creamy pasta dish that many consider to be among the best they've ever had, though some note a lack of cracked pepper.
"Hands down has to be the best carbonara I've ever had and the pizza was also phenomenal. Would highly recommend."
