Run, don’t walk, to this charming spot. Nestled into a breezy locale just one block from the main roadway, this modern ristorante packs a big culinary punch, thanks largely to the considerable talents of Chef David Cecchini (of Wine Cask, Genio’s, Restaurant Nu). On the highly focused Italian menu, expect to find a few heartwarming antipasti; as well as a fair amount of beautifully executed pastas. Favorites may include crispy calamari, caesar salad, pomodoro pasta tossed in a smooth and bright tomato sauce, short rib filled tortolloni in a sage cream sauce, 6 hour slow braised bolognese, and last but certainly not least, wood fired pizzas churned out by their pizza oven imported from Italy.
Thin-crust pizzas, pastas, classic mains & local wines served in a warm Italian cafe with a patio.

An ok place, staff were very accommodating!
Menu is diverse, seems to be pizza orientated ( good selection )
Food was ok, 3 x burgers and 1 x Chicken Alfredo ordered with 2 x beers and 1 x coffee.
Drinks were good price and tasty.
Burger buns were “wet” for all 3. Oddly they aren’t accomplices by chips/fries. On asking on the fries we were told a basket was $10 (ended up being $12 on the bill).
The bill also had discrepancies, all prices from the menu did not match the bill. Everything was more expensive but when queried it was rectified which was excellent. However, we were there around 1300 and this was only just noticed
In summary:
Place is fine, staff are good and try hard.
Food is well below average for the expensive.
3 burgers, chicken Alfredo, 2 beers and coffee totalling approx $140 pretty scandalous but the town is gimmicky so, that’s the price.

We stopped by for lunch. The chef accommodated us with the Calamari Fritti starters, which was served only for dinner. We were very grateful. The Margherita pizza was delicious, i’m glad I ordered the Ravioli with short ribs meat filling with creme sauce. I think it’s new on the menu. It was delicious as well and perfect serving. We thank you for a great meal.

Great service and atmosphere but food was subpar. Pizza was lacking in flavor and the toppings are of scant proportions. The bolognese needed extra salt to enhance the flavor. Salad was okay and the basket of bread was average.
Overall, would rather go to other options in the area.

I loved the natural flavor of the marinara sauce. They told me it’s prepared by the chef so that is really good. In general the food had good taste, not so much the alfredo sauce. The place is really nice to eat outside and they have good service. Prices are between $20 to $35 per plate plus drinks. Parking is close by.

Chicken Parmesan was really good. I liked the Chicken Parmesan more than the Lobster Risotto that I ordered. The services were good.

We had dinner here. The service was poor, staff seemed to have their minds on other things than serving dinner patrons. First they tried to seat us at a table for two with one seat which the second seat backed up into another. After seating at another table we ordered. A salad to split and a pizza. The salad was good but not worth the price. The pizza was burned on the edges with barely any toppings on it. No additional plates were given to put the pizza on. No cheese at the table or offered. The staff stopped by once but her mind was still not on her job. My wife wanted to use the restroom and was told the use was for people eating there! All in all, even though we are locals this place is off our list! Also a dog was allowed to be in its owners lap during dinner.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with poor attitude and they were reluctant to provide seating because we were too large of a party to sit down. They eventually did. Shortly after another large party arrived and they were accommodated for, even sat them together (we were seated separately). I was yelled at by a waitress when I went inside to use the bathroom to change my toddler’s diaper. I didn’t realize there was a line for the bathroom because the inside felt very chaotic- people walking everywhere so she yelled at me to tell me there was a line which I apologized to those who were waiting and went to the back of the line. As I was heading to the back of the line, she rudely told me “and we don’t change diapers here,” because she saw the diaper and wipes in my hand. Some of the workers were kind, but most of the people who worked here had terrible attitude. They seemed frustrated- maybe overwhelmed because it was busy, but it left a bad experience for us. Definitely not going back nor would recommend it.

Took my family here for lunch. The place did not seem busy due to the lack of customers on the outside porch. It still took us about 15 min to get a table when there were plenty open. This also happened to the customers that came after us. We got out beer served with half head on them also there looked to be moldy table next to us other customers refused to sit. Food was okay but way overpriced.
Also, i am shocked at the comments the owner is making towards other customers. In my opinion you should listen. You had 2 families walk out just in the time that we were eating.

We ordered a bottle of wine$$$ salad, 2 wood fire pizzas and we’re enjoying our dinner . 40 mins into dinner we were basically told we could take our wine to go if we’d like because it was 7:10 and they were closed now…Our server was nice and attentive but was clearly being told by her”boss” to get us going…not the experience we had hoped for and we as locals even will not be back

This place can be a bit busy on a weekend, but it was perfect on a Tuesday afternoon. Wild boar pizza was excellent, beer was cold, service was good, prices are reasonable, very relaxed vibe.
