    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.

    We arrived early and fortunately were able to be seated. It was very lively for a Sunday evening and we ordered appetizers which were quickly enjoyed as we waited for our food. Servers were super polite and friendly, and it seemed like everyone who worked there were very upbeat and engaged- which is good to see under the pressure of a busy and bustling scene. The food was amazing - and we almost didn’t order dessert until I saw tiramisu, which we split amongst the three of us. The server brought it and as she did she said it was on the house- as it was a “must have” before departing. I am thankful we split it but it was transportingly good. I look forward to our next visit where we will have to try one of the amazing looking pizzas that others were ordering! Thank you!
