Very cute and cozy restaurant with excellent food. Everything was fresh and tasty. The tomato cucumber salad was cool and crunchy. The pizza was crispy and loaded with topping. The pasta was rich and savory. Nothing to complain about. Service was also as good as the food. We will certainly be back. Must check out!

We had their all meat pizza and it was cooked to perfection. One of the best pizzas we have recently eaten. Our server was friendly and efficient. We ate in the downstairs dining room that had limited seating but I didn't feel crowded.

The food was amazing. I got the roasted vegetables with chicken and it was so good I forgot to take a picture of it. I would definitely recommend this place especially if you like Wine. The house bread bites were a pleasant surprise, too.

Had a wonderful lunch there. I was so happy to see the variety that they had on their menu. I’ve had the pizzas there several times which are very good, I just wanted something lighter and less carbs. Delicious and a very nice presentation . ...

Coming here for the first time made me realize how I haven’t had real good Italian food that many times in my life. It’s like finding true love—that’s not an ordinary, everyday experience. Something that happened as I got older is that lactose will look at me funny and then make me feel unfunny. But I still go after it occasionally, because the good times are almost worth the pain. I ordered shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. Which was delicious and I felt vigorously healthy afterwards. Well kinda sleepy too, because I had wine with it, but seriously what a great restaurant. My folks had the pesto linguine. The bread, salad, and soup. Everything was flawless. Also great service. I could eat here everyday :)
