    First timer here! It was absolutely fantastic! Our Server Robyn hit it out of the park with her drink and food suggestions. Highlights for us: smoked olives were insane amazing, The meat balls were perfectly cooked and flavored. We really enjoyed the hot honey pepperoni pizza (an extra side of honey with it would bring it up a notch)  We tried so much more and were impressed with every bite. We will definitely be back!!!

    The food was good, but the waitress told me the specials that were not on the menu and what I ordered happened to be very spicy and I don't eat spice. When I asked her if she told me she said no. I could hardly eat my dinner. The light was terrible we could hardly see and had to use our phones to see what we were looking at. But other than that it was a good experience. Love the decorations and everybody's very happy and pleasant
