I don't get here often but any time I'm in Des Moines for lunch I make a special stop. The half-half meat lasagna with angry sauce is the absolute best.

The food at this restaurant is truly outstanding! After your first meal, you'll definitely crave it again for your next one. The sandwiches, soups, pastas, and pizzas are all exceptional. I'm also looking forward to trying their breakfast. The bread is the finest you'll find in Des Moines. On top of that, the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive.

The food and service are always outstanding, even when it's busy! Takeout is fast and comes with a friendly smile. One of my favorites is their bread corn chowder; it never disappoints!
