Why can't we have more places like this back home. All around great. The pizza was excellent thin crust with a snap. Holds the goods without spilling the prize. The Ceasar salad might be one of her favorites and scamorza, wow. Decent selection of Italian wines. Thanks for a great romantic evening.

There were about 50 of us there for a private event. The worst was awesome as was the food. Nice atmosphere, but no idea of pricing. Charcuturie boards were delicious as e was the salad and pizzas.

Very good food, the waitstaff was polite and prompt. The food (I got a salmon pizza) and drinks were delicious. It was slow for being a Saturday night, but the atmosphere was nice and my wife and I were able to have a wonderful conversation without a noisy background. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice italian place a little out of the way.
