    We go to this fine restaurant A LOT. The past two outings the room inside off the bar has been FREEZING cold. Hard to enjoy a meal and the dining experience wearing heavy jackets. Can’t explain it, but it’s bad for business.

    I like the decorations, the music, the ambience it’s all wonderful. The staff here are very nice and the pizza here is on another level. It’s SO GOOD! we love getting their cheese/pepperoni/mushroom pizza and a Cesar to split. We have also tried their tiramisu and a chicken mixed green salad of theirs and really enjoyed those too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience here. Making reservations is now 100% recommended as I have seen them turn people away who do not have a reservation or tell them to come back hours later. Tuesday nights are jazz nights so those are my favorite! They have great cocktails and cocktails that are very refreshing and change routinely so the menu is always interesting. It is kid friendly although there’s no Kids menu but plenty of good food for kids, they have outdoor and indoor seating and heaters when it’s super cold. It’s also dog friendly in the front and back patios. This is in general a spectacular Italian pizza restaurant and it’s worth every penny and bite!

    We did not like the food at this restaurant. There were four of us and we all ordered entrees instead of pizza. Two of us had the roasted chicken which was good. Two of us had other entrees that were both pretty bad. Service was friendly and efficient. Kitchen was fast with the meals coming out in a timely manner. However non of that Matters of the food is bad
