    Overall food was amazing. The only issue was with the drunken chicken. It did have way too much cheese and the chicken was chewy.

    We enjoy having our friends join us for the "Igloo Experience". Today the sun was glaring, and our server happily move us to an indoor table so we would be more comfortable. Lena was exceptional, making sure our every need was met. (Thank you again, Lena!!!) Everyone in our party was so pleased with the food served. We ordered several salads, which were fresh and delicious, and then dove in to a terrific sesame crusted pizza. Once again, I have to remark that our server, Lena, made sure that we were happy with our selections. Her attention to detail is to be commended.

    This made my day—thank you so much! I’m so glad Lena took such great care of you (she really is amazing) and that you all got to enjoy the Igloo Experience and that signature sesame crust pizza. We’re super proud of the team, and it means a lot when guests take the time to shout them out. I’ll be sure Lena sees this—it’ll mean the world to her. Hope to see you back again soon—maybe for a summer night under the umbrellas or another igloo moment (they’ve become quite the vibe)! Warmly, Lauren

    We went for my daughter's birthday and booked an igloo. My husband and I wanted to sit at a separate table, so we sat outside, but it became too cold. They rearranged everything to get us an inside table without batting an eye. The food was excellent, our waitresses Kori (sp?) and Rebecca ere absolutely amazing and friendly and accmmodating, and Lauren as usual was her friendly helpful self! We all had such an amazing time, including the singing of Happy Birthday that totally mortified our daughter lol

    Thank you so much for celebrating your daughter’s birthday with us! We’re so glad we could rearrange things to keep everyone comfortable—it means a lot that you noticed. Cori and Rebecca will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Hope to see you all again soon for more great food, laughs, and maybe another birthday serenade! LOL

    The service was impeccable. Rebecca is a sweet heart and the entire staff was on top of their game and attentive. Owners were around and very personable! This establishment has the at home with your big Italian family feel! The inside makes you feel like it’s dinner at nonna’s and the back outdoors is like nonno has you outside on a nice day for grilling! To top it off if it’s rainy like it was, there are spacious igloos that can accommodate 8, with HVAC to keep everyone comfortable! We had mozz squares, never frozen, fresh and homemade. We had fried calamari that was perfectly light and crunchy with not only a delicious tomato sauce but a sweet chili sauce that was amazing as well. The baked clams were with the clam pieces chopped and mixed into the stuffing. They were nice sized and HEAPING! The kids personal pies and the margherita pie were great. The chicken Frances and ziti alla vodka were good. And the fresh oven baked oversized cookie with vanilla ice cream was shared while stuffed at the end with some yummy cappuccino’s made by their barista, and a Ghirardelli hot chocolate with marshmallows that not only did the kids love. 😉

    Wow—thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We're beyond grateful for your kind words about our team, especially Rebecca, and it means so much that the whole experience was like being at a grandparents house—that’s exactly the vibe we aim for! From the mozzarella squares to the oversized cookie and cappuccinos, we’re so happy you enjoyed everything. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your visit with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for more memories (and maybe another round of that Ghirardelli hot chocolate!)
