My favorite breakfast spot in Memphis! Everything on the menu is 100% gluten free. My boyfriend has Celiacs disease so I have experienced first hand how difficult it can be to find allergen friendly restaurants without cross contamination. The food is amazing and truthfully you wouldn’t even know it’s gluten free it’s just that good.

Amazing pastas! Perfect for date night or dinner before a night out downtown! Order the meatballs, bucatini, and the rigatoni but you honestly can’t go wrong with anything. The menu is seasonal so they have rotating pasta options and fun cocktails!

Everything is served in “flights” so you can get three smaller portions of different entrees or you can just order a full sized single entree. Super fun concept to able to sample more of the menu!
