    The food was extraordinary. The service was fantastic. The owner walked around, checking on every single table. I was truly impressed. I have a new favorite restaurant.

    Pizza was amazing! Steak was prepared fantastic. Pasta was amazing, but portion was way too small.

    Another outstanding dining experience. This is one of the best run restaurants we like to dine at. Being someone who follows a gluten free diet I can enjoy everything they serve here because all products come from Italy and doesn't bother me at all. Hopefully one day they get a bigger spot so it's not so hard to get in. Keep up your commitment as serving outstanding food and great service. See you soon
