I can’t believe how good the vegan calamari dish is! Every time I come to Civico, I can try a delicious vegan option, while my meat loving husband enjoys his choice. Also, the vegan pesto to dip the bread in is to die for—so good! Plus, the piazza makes you feel like you are part of the bustle of Little Italy, while still having a little corner to yourself and your party.

The Mothership is an experience. From the entrance, decor, service and food. I truly enjoyed the donuts. I also had the noodles and tofu. If you’re alone you’ll be seated at the bar. I believe it was the best seat in the restaurant. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d try their sister restaurant too.

Funny, but I couldn’t find the front door.🤣 The restaurant layout was interesting. The decor was nice and bright. We sat at the bar but I would choose a table next time. We were impressed with almost all of the dishes we ordered~ especially the vegan gyoza and bao. Wow! I’m craving both of them. Looking forward to my next visit to Yasai!
