Guestbook & Reviews

Customer Reviews

I've been here several times over the years and it's always been good. Good portions, good pricing, friendly staff. They took the time to review their pizza options with me over the phone because I didn't have a menu handy. You can taste how fresh the garlic & basil are but neither are overpowering. I feel like any negative reviews are from people who haven't actually traveled to Italy and know authentic Italian food; natural homemade sauce can be a bit thin (especially when it has seafood in it), true Italian pizza isn't thick with a ton of toppings, and sandwiches don't have a lot of meat. I feel this restaurant is a nice compromise between authentic Italian and American food. I'll be going back.

Great place, a little smaller, but great atmosphere, a place to just relax. Food is very good, portion may have been a little smaller than what I would like, but also personal preference for what I eat. Excellent food though. Great staff, very nice. And no wait. Definitely go.

Found this place while looking for something to eat that was not just another chain. They have a great atmosphere, brick archways throughout the establishment, friendly staff, and as you can see from the photos... large food portions! The prices are reasonable, a bit more than a standard Italian joint, but well worth it. Most importantly, the bathrooms were clean, stocked with toilet paper, and easily accessible. Also - they have paper towels! Definitely recommend this place to others for a good lunch spot, or even a cute date night location!

They are bright and very flavorful with that fresh made taste. Never a wait and service is top notch. Looking for fantastic Italian food, here it is.
