    Fantastic in every way. We loved the pizza with sausage, grilled rapini & smoked gouda and the Chicken Milanese with a Bernaise and frisee twist was terrific. Great cocktails and wine list~

    Our server was excellent and most of our food was good, but we ordered 3 appetizers and only got 1 of them over the course of 60 minutes. It was over an hour before we got the other two and our focaccia arrived burnt after all that. They did make it right and take those off our bill and our waitress was very communicative and attentive. Our pizza was really good and our drinks were very good. The steak was phenomenal but odd that for $110 you don’t get a single side with it and there’s nothing really on the menu that goes with a steak for an a la carte side. Overall, I think it was just an off night and would love to try them again and get some of their other pizzas. The waitress was excellent and we were checked on a few times by the manager and really appreciate their trying to make it right.
