So the place is supposed to be this funky, hole-in-the wall place and the restroom definitely fit in. The one I went to was a single stall kind of in the middle of the restaurant. Nothing fancy, just a white bathroom - sink and toilet. But it wasn't pretending to be something else. The one problem I had with it is I didn't feel like it was actually clean since it was a dingy room. It might have been, but it was hard to tell.

Given how cute the inside of the restaurant was, I was surprised they didn't really do anything with the bathroom. It was dingy and a little dirty. Plain white everything. They were even out of toilet paper and it was pretty early in the night.

Okay this bathroom was like a spa - I wanted to move in. It's a single stall, but you walk in and the dark wood paneling seems to go on forever. The toilet is around a wall giving you privacy from I don't know what. Only cloth towels of course.
The only criticism I had was one of the knobs on the sink was broken. You would think they wouldn't let a detail like that escape them.

First thing I will admit when I visited this restroom - I had a few glasses of their sangria, so I probably was not as observant as I usually am. But it was a big space and while the restaurant was decorated with funky art and warm tones, it seems as though they weren't sure what to do with the bathroom. Hung on the walls was soccer posters and a Brazilian flag - the things you would most closely associate with the country.

This single-stall restroom was a surprise in this out-of-the-way Italian restaurant. It's painted in a bright red/orange color. Nothing unusual about the toilet or the sink, but after seeing a mouse in the restaurant, I was surprised at how clean it was. On one wall, there are four pictures of old-school pinups, which is an interesting choice for a unisex bathroom.
Although I rarely mention the food, I'm going to make an exception here. While the restroom was a positive experience, and but I wouldn't say the same for the dining one.

The bathroom was a mix of traditional stalls and trendy touches. Although there were two stalls, it was quite a tight squeeze. There's just one sink and the door opens practically onto the sink. The black toilets were a surprise. The floor looked like photographs of stones (a friend of mine pointed this out - I didn't notice what the pattern was).
