Pizza was amazing, we had the oregano and margarita pizzas. Pizza is on the thinner side of the Pizza dough spectrum. Perfect combo of crispy and chewy. Also, this place had the best baba ganoush ever. I've had baba ganoush in Washington DC, New York city, and plenty of small towns and Oreganos by far beats the competition. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing Pizza, appetizers, and entrees. Lovely owner, managers, and staff all around.

Best mussels I've had in years! Jen took care of us on a cold rainy Tuesday and we left with full stomachs and hearts. Friends raved on the pizza and flatbread with dips as much as I did on mussels.

Yikes.We’ve had good meals here before. Not this time.Once we quietly and politely pointed out the critters in the Tripoli appetizer lettuce, we were offered a ‘free dessert’ and subsequently never got another drink or water refill for the entire meal.It was like we were suddenly the bad guys as our table was avoided.Things happen. I get it.That’s okay.For me, it’s always about how you handle things like a customer served improperly washed lettuce that makes all the difference.

First of all I have to say that the food was good..the Lebanese salad was excellent...wish I could say the same about the service..it took over 10 minutes to get acknowledged...we didn't realize that our server even workedno there..(Ami or Ari I believe).she was sitting at a table talking to I quess customers when she finally came over..I can't believe she sat down at our table and took our drink orders and our salad..then she made the drinks which were passable..she dropped off the salad and went back to the table she was at..we had to get her attention to order a pizza and 2 more drinks....when she brought the drinks and pizza over she didn't bother removing any of the dirty glasses and plates..just put it on our table and we had to move stuff around...again the food was worth the aggravation of the poor service..will probably check and make sure she is not working next time

My wife and I decided on dinner there this past Saturday night on a recommendation of friends who are regulars. They have always spoken very highly of the food. The food was great but unfortunately the service ruined the experience. Our waitress took forever to get to our table and when she did she was very blunt and unfriendly. Did not say hello or any other greeting, just what we wanted to drink. Which also took over 5 minutes. It's not a big place so we could clearly see her leaning on the bar chatting while we waited for our drinks. Not a great start. My wife has a very sensitive nose so it bothered both of every time she came by the table because she had the scent of stall cigarettes and a work shirt that hadn't been washed in a week. I'm trying to be as nice as possible but when you're serving people food your hygiene should be on point. The whole time she had the attitude of use being a burden on her. When our dinner finally arrived she never checked to see if everything was to our liking and if we needed anything else. When she finally cleared our plates she didn't offer coffee or desert, just brought our bill. I was almost glad at the point to get away from the smells alone. I would absolutely recommend the food but just hope you get a different server. The rest of them seemed to be interacting with their tables and had showered before the shift.

Pretty disappointing pizza and drinks, but the appetizers and salad were decent. I have never seen a pizza served on a pizza stone. Maybe that contributed to the underwhelming crust.

Excellent pizza.The coffee was not. It is the only point that should be improved and of course the bathroom...there were also flaws
Just our experience...others probably had better luck. Eye rolls from our waitress and food was average.

My husband and I entered the restaurant at 7 pm on a Saturday night. It had patrons seated but more than a few open tables. The hostess said that the kitchen was running behind in setting up tables and it would be a 30-45 minute wait. She took my name and number saying she would call me when the table is ready. We said ok, left to walk around town. Never got a call! Poor service. Will never go back there.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here randomly while walking around Newburyport, and it was totally worth the stop! The drinks were great, as well as the food. I got the Oregano salad with chicken, and he got the buffalo pizza, which were both amazing! Our server, whose name I believe was Daniella, was super sweet and attentive throughout the entire meal. We will definitely be back next time we are here!

It was our servers first night. No names on the slip so I don't have her name.She did a great job and was very attentive. We ordered one salad to share and two of the small pizzas. Small = 9". The bullalo chicken pizza could use more buffalo sauce but overall, it is very tasty. We also had the Oregano which is like a Mediterranean pizza. No Guinness here so no perfect score. Overall a 9+

My wife, daughter, and I visited on a quiet Sunday evening that became very busy by the time we left. We loved the industrial but yet trendy look of the restaurant. Very warm greeting upon arrival and we were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted. We each started off by having the Fattoush salad. What a great choice. The portion was very generous and enough for a meal. Tasty. Loved the pita chips that were on top of it. I ordered the linguine with meatballs and the other two ordered the eggplant parmigiana with penne. I thought the sauce on my linguine was tasty and the three regular sized meatballs were perfect sauced and cooked. Not soggy but firm. Portion was generous. Clean plate back to the kitchen. The parmigiana dishes were a big hit. Just the right amount of mozzarella and the eggplant slices were large. Leftovers for the ladies. The service was exceptional and friendly. The prices were very reasonable. There was ample street parking but numerous public parking lots in the area. The restaurant was located right in downtown Newburyport.
