    Wonderful dinner. We ate out side in a covered portico that made us feel like we were eating in Italy. The food was home-made and fresh.We had a delicious salad and the Mamas Pizza, which is a square pizza with a thin crust. Delicious! The ambiance was enhanced by a roaming accordian player. Great spot and reasonably priced!
