    The service and prices were great. We had the calamari and a pizza with Prosciutto arugula. We also ordered the special app of the day, burratta and peaches. However, they served it with apples instead. It was good but we said something to the waiter. He went back to he kitchen and said the chef never uses apples. Only peaches. Hilarious bc we had apples on our plate. Skin and all. Again. It was ok. We ate it. They did take it off the bill even though we never asked them. But ridiculous that even when clearly staring an apple in the face, they wouldn't admit it wasn't a peach. We got a good laugh out of it.
