Great neighborhood place. The food is consistently very good. They offer a really good pour of wine. Baklava is excellent. Always busy but the noise factor is low enough that conversation is possible - even pleasant.
Not much to say besides - nice atmosphere and awesome food. Not too packed so you can always drop by with your friends without having to wait. Coming from Europe I miss mediterranean food. They have some italian, greek and turkish dishes here. We had a lamb kebab and a kofte (meatballs) - delish! Meat was done to perfection. The yoghurt sauce was excellent. Need to come more often. So many other things I want to try!
Delicious shrimp and artichoke entree. The beef kabobs were seasoned very nicely and were very tasty.
Outstanding Italian restaurant. Best calzones in town.
Update 04/04/2018 - Lasagna and Garlic Cheese Bread are also excellent.
This Italian & Mediteranean Cuisine Resturant serves the best foods. They have vegan plates all the way to meat plates. The waiters are so nice and kind.
Great place. Have been going there since it was a little hole in the wall bistro. Excellent food and great staff
This is just a great restaurant!! I have been going here for the past eight years. Great food, wonderful staff, fantastic management!!
I got food to carry out. I was disappointment when I opened the alfredo and saw that it had hardly any sauce. That turned out to be a blessing. The sauce, if you can call it that, was awful. It was 90% pepper and then maybe cream. Had no cheese. Didn't taste like any sauce I've ever had and I LOVE alfredo sauce. Plus the pasta came with a lemon on it, never seen that. I also got garlic bread. Again just 90% pepper. It looked to have Italian dressing on it? No taste of butter and garlic. I didn't take more than 5 bites of my food. Disgusting. The cheese cake was good, the slice I got was smaller than the ones on display.
Found this place while googling Mediterranean restaurants in Madison. We've gone back 3 times in the last 6 weeks since. Perfect fusion of Italian and Mediterranean fare. The falafel is to die for, and the service is wonderful. I recommend going with a group a friends and a healthy appetitesample the entire appetizer menu, family style. No one will leave hungry or unsatisfied. Also recommend the lamb kabobsI've tried lamb numerous time in my life and with the exception of once, have never enjoyed it Oliva made it twice. Recommend!
We went to this restaurant on my husband's birthday. We had a wonderful experience. The staff and owners were really nice. We enjoyed our food a lot. Very good experience. We will be back!
To be honest I think three different cuisines in one restaurant was to much. Spendy for the food, which the food was mediocre. The decor was still fall ( it's summer) and the dishes need an upgrade. The food looked like it was reheated items. My favorite of the night were the home made grape rolls.The staff was great too.
Wow.this place is awesome! The decor, the staff, and most importantly the food is amazing! The prices are not super cheap, but are actually pretty fair! You are getting great quality food with great tastes. I am from new york and i have to say the pizza scene is seriously lacking in madison in terms of the flavor/taste i am looking for. This place has the best pizza in madison by far if you are looking for authentic ny style italian pizza!!! Also the chicken alfredo has delicious! They also give unlimited fresh baked bread which is of course great as well. I cant wait to go back to this place. You won't regret going here!
Very tasty! I have never been disappointed when I dine here. Pleasant staff, and wonderful food! Generous portions. Worth checking out. I'm glad I did!
Having now tried both the Mediterranean. and Italian parts of the menu, this is now one of my go to places to bring visitors. The marinara sauce is flavorful but not hot. Wait staff had always been friendly. Food comes out in a timely manner.
