First visit here and it didn’t disappoint. We found this by walking by earlier in the day and made a reservation online. Nice comfy atmosphere. Very friendly staff – one even did an impromptu ukulele song! We ordered a salad and their ‘Roman style’ sausage pizza. The salad comprised of lettuce, jicima, carrots, tomatoes (and more) with a subtle but tasty dressing. The pizza was on thick dough but well cooked and chewy. The sausage was crumbled, not a sliced link, which added to the taste and texture. They also added onions and bell peppers. The salad and pizza quite filled us up but the other pasta dishes looked inviting. And the table next to us had some great looking fries, which they confirmed tasted as good as the looked! All pastries are made in house and I could not pass up the German Chocolate cake. And I was not disappointed. The chocolate cake was the darkest most chocolate cake that I have had in quite a while. On top of that, the coconut frosting was great and not too sweet as usual. One of the best deserts that I can remember A great evening, nice atmosphere and we never were rushed. A small but nice selection of wine too.

Good breakfast place, we had reserved the previous day just in case for a Sunday brunch which was good. The low fat latte was excellent and so is their hash brown.
There were a few things we hoped was better like nonfat milk option, more butter and fruits for pancake.

Visited iveta downtown for the first time for dinner. Had reservations for 2 at 5:30 but showed up a bit earlier and the place was empty. They have a happy hour menu and we ordered the arancini and their salad. Both were well presented and tasted delicious. For main course we had the sausage pinsa which is a type of pizza and their bolognese pasta. The pizza tasted great, maybe a bit too cheesy but it tasted great and the dough was fluffy and tasty. The bolognese was a tad bit underwhelming. Good amount of meat sauce but not enough pasta. It could have used another 30g of pasta. It also could have used a tad bit of salt and wasn’t very hot when delivered. Our server was super nice and attentive. By the time we left the place was about 75% full. Nice place but nothing super special. I would go there for the happy hour menu and drinks.

So far weve been there for brunch service and dinner. Still need to try happy hour which is two dollars off select items.
For brunch we had polenta fries and eggs with hashbrowns. Update: went back for pancakes, granola and basic breakfast soooooooooo gooodddd. Service is always excellent!
Dinner we had the chicken pesto flat bread, prosciutto asparagus, and citrus salad or something. I love the salad and asparagus. Pizza was a bit heavy but we took the rest to go Nd thats just a personal problem;D
Service is like a 10. Usually That’s what I base my reviews on Kat during brunch service ans Jasmine during dinner. Thanks so much!
Update :went again for dinner and the cook abraham came put to check on how the food was. Everything was sooo delicious. We got the chicken piccata , sourdough bread, and kale salad. Fish tacos were absolutely delicious. Looking forward to getting them on happy hour as well!

Masterful crab cakes like they do in Boston. Fennel prepared exactly crisp-tender with that creamy tartar-like yogurt/caper sauce. Fish tacos are to live for – very fresh fish smells like ocean. And true citrus flavor in the citronella salad.
Excellent meal, nice people.

Fantastic little undiscovered gem off the heavily beaten tourist path in downtown Santa Cruz, I was conflicted in reviewing as I enjoy immensely it low key(ness) due to it relatively unknown status… But I do want them to do well and they deserve to be known!
Fantastic food, decor, lighting, vibe, and musical volume level and choice of music! All things I don’t usually attribute to a Santa Cruz eatery… Feels more Vancouver BC than downtown Santa Cruz.
The brunch and dinner menus are fantastic with choices for every palate… Not to mention entrées that start with a 1! Unheard of these days! Service is attentive without overbeariness, a perfect experience each time overall! Highly recommend you check it out!
Love love love this place…

My partner and I came in for dessert and were delighted by the friendly staff, gorgeous decor, and delicious carrot cake. This was the best carrot cake either of us have ever had! It was the cake of the day so not a permanent menu item, but all of the dessert options looked great. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself was incredible — relaxing and romantic, with great music.

I took the mushrooms pizza and… WOW maybe one of the best pizza I’ve ever ate. I’m from France and my grand mother is Italian so we know the Italian food. I came with my girlfriend and the service was amazing. The ambiance is so cute and comfortable. Thank you
