Honestly stopped here while updating Happy Hour information in the area for happyhourdesmoines.com. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere on previous stops and did again tonight.

We had already eaten at another Happy Hour and it was too late now for Happy Hour anyway, so we opted for ‘dessert’ options. My wife ordered the Espresso Martini (see picture) and I went for the Tiramisu (see picture). The Espresso was very good and while the Tiramisu tasted very good, the presentation wasn’t nearly as good as last time (think you’ll see what I mean in the picture). We do like this place though and look forward to another stop for dinner some evening.

I stopped by before an appointment to check out the menu and prices and decided a return trip was definitely warranted.  I ended up meeting my wife here for Happy Hour food and drinks just a week later and we both really enjoyed the visit.

We started with the Cosa Nostra wood-fired pizza and Bitter Melon Mojito shared drink – both recommendations from our waitress and both delicious.  I wasn’t familiar with the shared drink concept before this, but think of it like getting a pitcher of the drink along with glasses to share.

Next, we were still a little hungry so went for the Stuffed Mushrooms (again at our waitress’ suggestion) – and found them to be cheese-covered deliciousness!

Lastly, and might I say best of all given my sweet tooth, we ordered a piece of Tiramisu to share.  Do NOT leave without trying a piece – smooth, fresh, delicious, light and possibly the best I’ve ever had!

You won’t go wrong stopping here for a meal…especially if you take advantage of the Happy Hour!
