    Fantastic! We sat is the covered outdoor area. It was warm, quiet and cozy- just perfect! Food was delicious! Favs were the kale and beet salad and the ricotta app. Three in my party were GF and loved the pasta and the separate oven for the pizzas. Would def recommend and go back!

    My only complaint is that they added a 4% charge for “kitchen staff”. I am really getting tired of more and more restaurants starting to charge extra fees, for staff, for credit card usage, etc., especially when not published to the customer beforehand. These costs need to be addressed as a cost of doing business and not being passed on to the customer as extra charges and fees. The cost of menus at a restaurant have risen significantly over the last several years without adding yet additional costs.

    Wow the pizza was so delish! The host was great, got us a drink while we waited for our tablet to be ready, the server was so helpful with our selections and went above and beyond in many ways. Will be returning.

    The pizza was good but the Ragu Pasta was dry and tasteless. Disappointing that 2 of the 3 specials were sold out. Try the Whipped Ricotta; the best thing on the menu. Service was awesome.
