"A great surprise! I thought the food was on par with some of the top-end vegan restaurants in NYC. It was imaginative, well-prepared, and delicious. Not what I expected from bar food! We had the sunflower risotto, tofu schnitzel, Korean noodle soup, and beet carpaccio. All were fantastic, though the risotto was definitely the most unique. The small plate portions were way bigger than we expected. Thankfully we came hungry. Definitely make a reservation. We didn 't have one, but we got lucky and got a spot on the couch. Oh, yeah. The drinks are also really fun and unique."

"I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant when I attended a bridal shower. The venue, food, and staff were all amazing. We had the opportunity to sample various specialty pizzas and two delicious salads. The pizza crusts were exceptional - thin, crispy, and flavorful, making them the perfect base for the unique toppings. I appreciated that the ingredients worked well together and could be enjoyed individually as well. I recommend ordering a couple of small pizzas so you can try a variety of flavors. Although I didn't check out the wine list, the Aperol Spritz was excellent. I look forward to returning to enjoy the outdoor patio."

"First post-COVID visit to the dining room. Parallax's provisions seem sensible no paper menus, all staff masked, tables distanced, ample sanitizer. Felt very comfortable. Only downside to the experience was that we were seated next to the kitchen more bustle and noise than ideal Staffing and attention we received were lavish (perhaps a plus of distancing), food delicious, novel and with beautiful presentation. Thai sausage extremely tasty and unique. Parallax reminded me of everything I had been missing under the shutdown thanks"

"The restaurant is beautiful with lovely decorations. We went for our anniversary on a Thursday as we heard there is live music. Unfortunately the layout of the restaurant is strange and we were seated by the bar across from a tv and people watching sports. Felt more like a sports bar than a romantic Italian restaurant. The performer was moving between two places but we could not see him in either place as he was behind us. The food was poor unfortunately and portions are very small. The focaccia bread and olive oil was very good but our meatball appetizer had no flavor and the tomato sauce felt like was just opened from a can. The ahi tuna dish had no flavor and were two small pieces. The soup was tiny and the desserts while good were bite size. The restaurant seems to have a lot of tourists who are in tennis shoes and shorts, not at all what one would expect from such restaurant’s atmosphere and prices. Service is very good the hostess and waitress were lovely. The manager stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our time. My suggestion would be to sit people based on the intent of their visit, give a small area or stage for the entertainment that visitors can see and improve food quality and sizes."

"If you can not go to Italy. Go to Casa La Luna downtown on Superior. Hospitality is tops. Marita our sever was wonderful. No matter how hectic it got she never got rattled. Food is authentic and wonderful. My wife would go just for the bread and olive oil, and it's free. Everything from apps to dessert is great. We has 2 pastas. Orrechiette Con Rapini and Sacchetti Al Tututo Blanco both were perfection. Extensive and reasonably priced wines. Exceptional Northern Cuisine. One of the finest in America."
