The Backspace

We absolutely adore this place as a date night spot or for early family dinner during the amazing happy hour specials. The food is fresh and creative while also having the staples. All of it is absolutely delicious. We always get the meatballs and burrata. The farro salad is heavenly. Pasta is cooked to perfection. Cocktails are delish and great wine selection. Ive never had a dish here I didn’t love! We’ve always had amazing service and joyful staff. The vibe is moody in the front by the bar (aka the date spot) and a bit more playful in the back (aka the family party spot!). So glad to have this in the neighborhood.

Pizza is freaking bomb and the inside is a vibe. Their fire oven gives the crust a yummy char if you like that!

Meatballs and cocktails!

Service is lacking. There was 30 minutes between the first and last item of food delivered to the table. The pizzas came out pretty quick and were pretty good. A salad came out about 10 minutes later, followed by the next salad about 10 min or so later. The food on the table was completely gone by the time the pasta dishes came out. The pasta was hit or miss. One bite was hot, the next was cold. Most likely won’t return.

My only complaint would be, that there wasn't a whole lot of selection, unless you are consuming alcohol. The food was wonderful though, could use more selection on the menu.
