Great place! Affordable and great food. The only thing I found hard, literally, was the stools. Not butt-friendly and not short-friendly. Otherwise great!

Fabulous experience & Excellent service/ambience. From the moment we got seated, all staff and Sophia specifically made us feel very welcome and ensured we understood the vegetarian variations of the delicacies. Absolutely loved the truffle pizza and the tiramisu and had to order a second one before the night got over. Will definitely recommend and revisit ourselves.

I booked a bar reservation last minute to Little Owl to round out my birthday plans. I was taken excellent care of by my waitress who made sure to make me feel welcome and special. I was given a thorough explanation of the menu, help finding a wine i enjoyed, and a candle in my dessert to to it all of. I highly recommend Little Owl.
