This place was not fancy but was sure a pleasant surprise. We stopped in for a bite before our flight back home. The food was delicious. We ordered breadsticks which came with a large side of marinara, Chicken Bacon Ranch and French Dip Sandwich. It was plentiful and more than enough for the 4 of us. The owners were very friendly and are very helpful with the menu. Definitely stop in if in Anchorage. It is well worth your time and money. Amazing food and the dish sizes are HUGE. Half of the gyro...

The food is excellent quality. Extensive choices in the salad bar. Portions are very large and waiters quick with left-overs containers. There is definite Italian influence in their food. I really had not seen a salad bar with this many choices before. The difficult is parking. We parked at the chevron and walked. Even at -7 below and walking 3 block this restaurant is worth it.

It was a little crowded when we first showed up. We were given bottled water upon sitting. Took a little longer than normal to order. All plates, bowls or containers, flatware are disposable or compostable. Very cozy little place. The food was outstanding. We will definitely be back for another visit soon. The prices were good for the quality of the food.

Cozy little spot with limited seating and a small bar area. The salad bar has a nice variety, and we tried the basil chicken melt and the BLT sandwich, both of which came with a choice of salad bar or soup. Everything was fresh, tasty, and delicious. The staff were super friendly and welcoming too!
