Amazing restaurant with a very full and varied menu – something for everyone! Plenty of vegetarian options too. Beautiful atmosphere with an artist’s touch. Service was amazing – greeted by the chef and owner! Victor was an incredible waiter. A MUST GO! Will be back for all the great items on the menu we were too full to try.

The Ambiance is nice almost gives Italy vibes so it’s cute for a date but it’s a small restaurant so expect to be close to the table next to you! Went on a Friday the place was busy but the food is what disappointed me the most. Ordered meatballs and garlic knots for appetizers meatballs were very COLD and garlic knots were definitely not fresh. Carbonara pasta was watery not sure how, the flavor was good but the overall plate wasn’t good. Popolari pizza was another disappointment with the overall flavor and the prosciutto very Dry. I had high hopes for this place but honest opinion it was a disappointment. Wouldn’t recommend!

Sunday night, the place was packed! They were able to seat us quickly and the food didn’t take long at all. Their kitchen was efficient and the service was excellent – they have really hit their stride. We got the pizza with shrimp, the margarita pizza, and eggplant parm with spaghetti. Also a hibiscus tea and Caesar salad. Everything was great. Salad was perfect. Pizza dough was so good and chewy. Could have been a little thinner. On first taste the tomato sauce in the pizza felt a little too sweet. Would have been better with less edge and more room for sauce and cheese. Eggplant parm was great, eggplant was thin, not too greasy. That tomato sauce also tasted a little unbalanced needed more seasoning. Hibiscus tea was good but lacked tartness and a little too cinnamon-y for me. A fun experience overall. One thing that surprised me was the prices are really high. But it could be a fun treat -splurge and get comfort food in a lively environment with great music!

Although it was a little warm inside the restaurant, the food was delicious. An afternoon early dinner started with exciting appetizers that included rice balls, burrata, and lamb rolls. All of which had a perfect balance of flavor as it did quantity. We ordered pizza afterwards which was also good. We decided to try something a little off menu which the chef happily accommodated. That alone is service that one would go again to seek. The food overall was amazing. A small establishment but packing some good eating. I will visit again to try more of what’s on the menu. This experience was definitely a must try more of the menu kind of place.

After reading many pleasant reviews for Popolari, I chose to try it out for an anniversary dinner. Even though this restaurant offers Due Fratelli wine selections from California, I brought my own bottle of chianti for dinner. We started with fried calamari and Caesar salad. The salad was large enough for two people. Both appetizers were delicious. For our main entrees we had Fettuccine Carbonara with an added huge meatball on top and the Mafaldine E Fungi Truffle (homemade ribbon pasta sautéed mixed shrooms with porcini crème sauce) grilled shrimp was added to this entrée. Both dishes were excellent. We were there on a Friday night and it was loud and a little hectic. It’s probably quieter during the week. Our waiter Victor was professional and friendly. Looking forward to another visit there…There is a free parking lot behind the restaurant.

So my beautiful girlfriend took me here for my birthday tonight and I have to say it was amazing. The service was amazing and they took the time to talk to us while working hard and learning from an amazing owner. He came in on his day off to do the cheese wheel table side and it was amazing. The food was so good, i honestly might be back Saturday night. please please try this place out. I love it here definitely a new spot, going to bring everybody here

Ordered Chicken Marsala and was very disappointed with my order. The chicken was very salty and the Marsala taste was almost none existent. The mash potato was also very salty. My mom tried it and she said it tasted like old chicken. It was very disappointing since I had saved it in my maps to go try it
