    We were in town to visit the IU campus with our daughter. It’s a bustling lively restaurant that seems to be very popular with locals. Service was friendly. The food however was just ok at best. The pizza was a bit soggy and had way too much cheese. The spaghetti was overcooked although the meatballs were fine. The crab cakes didn’t taste fresh and had too much breading. The garlic focaccia and salads were fine. We were disappointed as this place got such great reviews.

    From the door to the table the staff was excellent. Plus, they did not have tattoos or a face full of pins--very refreshing! Food was good all around, nice lunch.

    The tables are small for four people is the only issue with the experience. Playing to make room to eat. The food and price were great.
