Came across this place while walking through Palmer Alley, its location is pretty good especially for the price it offers. A quaint cafe, food is very good and simple however, not a lot to choose from. Great wines and pizzas. A good and simple italian meal if you are looking for one The service varies, our server was a little cold but nothing too bad. Food came well within time and beverages were good - wine, cocktails, coffee.
