We had a nice experience here, the service is great, and the food is good too. We had a burrata salad, risotto and prosciutto pizza, we enjoyed the pizza the most. We would come again, especially for the pizza!

Family enjoyed themselves. All staff was very friendly. The food was good particularly the gnocchi dish we ordered. Like the bright open space. Looking forward to the outdoor patio dining in the summer. Hoping to see maybe a DJ on weekends for later hours and hoping the expect their hours

This place has a really nice interior, bar and kitchen with a fancy pizza oven. The pizza was really good but the rest of the dishes were very bland - calamari had no seasoning or flavor at all and the pastas needed way more flavour. We asked for salt pepper and flakes. Their wine list is great. This place just opened a few weeks ago so hopefully they’re just ironing out the kinks but overall great spot for dinner, kid friendly - there’s an indoor soccer room next door so this is great for parents watching kids play. We’ll come back and give them another try in a few months.
