    Great atmosphere. Food was very good and service was great. It’s not a very big place but very cute.

    The food and service was great. Prices were reasonable but I have to downgrade the rating because the restaurant was cold. I realize that is was cold the night we were there but we requested a table further from the front door and could not get accomadated. Every time the door opened there was a blast of cold air. Had to keep coats in during entire meal.

    Calamari was crispy, lightly breaded and delicious. We ordered a few pizzas and a pasta dish. Creamy Tuscan chicken was very good. Loved the freshness on the prosciutto arugula and burrata. The pepperoni mushroom za was pretty good, could have had a little more sauce, but overall nice za! The crust was amazing

    Good venue, great food, plenty of parking, save the drive out of town. Love the pizza and the best eggplant parm.

    Everything was great except you don’t have a winter/ two doors so every time the door opens the whole place gets cold. Really enjoyed the lunch special salad and pizza option

    The food was fantastic, but the service was not good. We sat for 12 minutes before a server acknowledged us. Then she took our drink order and it was a long wait for our drinks to come. Then I saw her tell the expediter that she forgot to enter our appetizer, so there was another long wait for that. There were several servers working, but none of them had any sort of urgency to what they were doing. They could certainly turn tables much quicker if they would be more attentive and quicker with the service.
