Omg the food here is to die for! I finally got a reservation and I regret not going sooner! The service was great and feels personally since there's only 6 tables and hardly anyone new comes in while you're dinning. The room is so cute and decorated with Catholic icons, which we loved! We had the bread, potatoes, Mongolian beef, risotto and squid! I can't wait to go back! 10/10 recommend for a romantic dinner!

Okay.... WOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!! It has been over a year since I have written a review and I swear on everything I love this place forced me to write my first one of the year I am screaming ! I've known of this gem for over about a decade and never got the chance to try it until today and to say the least- I feel beyond blessed to have tried this luxurious food in my lifetime I'm genuinely speechless right now! Could not even leave the restaurant before writing this review ! Tiffany was our lovely server and the hugest kudos to chef Howard and Kevan !! The textures and flavors of everything could not have been more on point and now I have a genuine understanding of how this tiny place on this busy corner of Jacksonville Florida has attained its loyal customers for the past 17 years ! We literally licked each plate clean!! I told them I will be like a stray cat outside in the back from now on

I made reservations for me and my friends, five was the max allowed, with 8 PM as the only available time slot for a party this size. We arrived a little early and our table was ready. We sat in front of the The Last Supper portrait. My friends and I felt so comfortable and the music and decor helped set a groovy vibe. We ordered almost everything on the menu. We started off with the tomato and cucumber salad with couscous, citronette, dill whipped feta and pickled red onion. This dish was tasty, healthy and the veggies were fresh. We had the peasant bread, which was soft yet crisp on the crust. Then came the house made chorizo so properly prepared with honey, sauteed pear and warm spiced dates. You must eat the chorizo with a little taste of everything on the plate! The combo is splendid! Then my favorite dish of the night arrived, butter braised cabbage made with brown butter and house kimchi paste. The cabbage was carefully cooked to perfection! The lovely taste was hard to describe because I've never tasted anything like it. This is a must try! Next up were the chicken meatballs topped with candied jalapenos and chili-ginger agrodolce (sweet and sour Italian sauce). So juicy and deliscious! Then we were served Roman style gnocchi made with beef, mushroom stock and utter pecorino (sheep's milk cheese). This cheesy rich dish was surprising. When I saw it I didn't know what to expect. But goodness is what I got! The house made ricotta was light and fluffy like a cloud. Loved this dish! It was made with smoked honey and served with grilled peasant bread. Then I tasted the octopus, which was deliscious! Only three of the five at the table would try it. The other two don't know what they were missing lol! We tasted all three desserts, cheesecake, tres leches and a peasant bread pudding. All were delectable, but the tres leches was the best. The best I've EVER had! Our server Andrew was friendly and helped all of us decide on our drink of choice. He kept our waters full and checked on us regularly. I am already thinking about making another reservation. There were some items I didn't get to try and others I wish to have again and again and again!

Not your typical Tapas menu, but we loved it and enjoyed everything we had. Very good service, but it is a very small restaurant and things are just a tad rushed. We tried many plates and our waiter did a nice job of coursing them out. Hard to say if we had a favorite, but I would recommend the Roman Gnocchi, Croquettes and it is worth ordering the bread to enjoy all the delicious sauces in many of the dishes. Our waiter even brought us an extra dish to enjoy on the house. Keep in mind that they serve beer and wine only, no mixed cocktails. Come with an open mind, be adventurous and enjoy!
