Good family restaurant but i really am not sure why they dont turn on the air con.... it was stinking hot inside the restaurant would actually made the meal far less enjoyable. So beware on hotter days... Good food otherwise though - it's not the first time i go to this restaurant.

A great location and very well made pizza and pasta. The salads were delicious, although a bit pricey at almost $30, including protein. Excellent wine list with some good value bottles. Beer was nice and chilly.
