10/10! We had dinner here on a Friday night! We had the Philly cheesesteak which was delicious! We ordered the Cajun shrimp pasta and got to add chicken to it as well, accompanied with a margarita of course! Even the kids cheese pizza was amazing! Will be back for sure! Even the service was a 10/10

We had a wonderful meal there on a Friday night. Place is only been opened a few weeks, but the service was excellent and the food was delicious. They definitely need to salt their water when preparing the pasta because it took a lot of salt to get it up to a pleasant flavor, but everything else was perfect enough food for three leftover meals.

Awful pizza. I could not even finish a slice and threw the entire rest of the pie out. I can not express this enough… do not go here. I have never said this about a pizza place before but I have never had a pizza I wouldn’t finish. 25 dollars I had the worst excuse for a margarita pizza I have had in my life. It was floppy, the cheese tasted cheap and the dough was undercooked. The sauce was also bad, tasted like Dominos pizza. I was so excited for this place to open up, such a let down.

I got the spaghetti with red sauce and meatballs because the owner gave me a sample of a meatball last time I was there. I cannot emphasize enough how good the dish was. This is an amazing sauce with a robust tomato flavor, perfect levels of garlic and herbs and just a touch of sweetness. And the meatball! Best meatball I’ve ever had!!! It was mostly meat with a flavor that paired perfectly with the marinara. It came with a piece of homemade bread and a side salad that was super fresh. Give this place a try – they are so friendly and clearly put love into what they do! (I took the picture after I ravenously ate half!)

I ordered a soda and was surprised when it was served in a coffee cup. While this may seem like a small detail, presentation and attention to basic service standards matter. A coffee cup is not appropriate for a cold, carbonated drink and gave the impression that the order was rushed or not given proper attention. What made it more frustrating is that I paid $3 for the drink, yet it was served in what appears to be a $0.50 disposable coffee cup. Overall, it felt unprofessional and took away from the experience. I hope this feedback helps improve consistency and service quality moving forward.

This restaurant is new to our area. We’ve had takeout grinders/subs twice now and each of them was a home run! Super good fries too. Tonight we also tried the Alfredo pizza and it was really good too! Lots of cheese and a well cooked medium/thin crust that wasn’t soggy, it was nicely browned. Glad they’re close by, definitely adding to our regular food rotation.

The food was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. It’s so nice to finally find a good place for lunch close to my job. I will absolutely be back.

Calzone was ready for pick up at time ordered. It’s obvious they use quality cheeses and meats which i greatly appreciate. My calzone tasted great, the lady behind the counter greeted me with a pleasant smile. Only thing I would mention is that it’s a bit sterile. Would love to see some pictures on the wall or something to make it a more welcoming stay a while vibe. I live in the building across from it and would love to be able to go there chill and have some great pizza but as is it’s got more of a Togo vibe. Not a negative at all just an observation and desire if you will. Glad you guys are in the neighborhood

Lowkey place! Not fancy inside. They opened recently and do not yet have their liquor license. The pizza was pretty good, not the best in Raleigh, but decent! We ordered a 18 inch Roma pizza for 3 people to share and had a couple slices left over. Caesar salad was good as well.

This shopping center has a nice atmosphere and looks really nice for families looking to walk around & head to the dessert shops after dinner. My husband and I took our 2 kids and baby out to eat here, but were very underwhelmed. We were excited to go out as a treat to an italian restaurant, but when we walked in the place was small and empty and lacked any kind of decor or cultural music for atmosphere or mood lighting etc. The paper sign on the door said “Please wait to be seated”, so we waited at the door because there isn’t really a hostess podium. The hostess/waitress was at a bar-like table on the side and rather than approach us and ask “dining in or out?” She just shouted over at us to ask if we were picking up a to go order. We said no, we were here to dine in and she seemed a little confused and said “oh.. sure” (in a nice way) and proceeded to seat us but we weren’t sure why she was confused. I suppose they do not get many people that come to dine in here? We did see 3 people walk in for pick up orders. No one else came to dine in. She set the table with the one page menus for us, and a paper plate in the middle with silverware wrapped in paper towels and asked what we would like to drink? We were a little caught off guard as we were still sitting down and I think we assumed we would be given water in nice water glasses like at most other Italian restaurants. We said water please for all of us. She brought us all plastic to-go cups with the lids and straws. We were so disappointed thus far. Then we looked at the menu and saw it being just one page with not much variety. All of the appetizers were just bread basically so we didn’t get any. But we would’ve loved some oysters, calamari, fried lasagna, anything really. We got the kids chicken alfredos. It was 5$ to substitute shrimp for the chicken and they gave my daughter 5 small shrimp. We were expecting grilled chicken breast sliced pieces but they were bite sized possibly frozen looking flavorless chicken bites. Everything was flavorless in fact, I was craving salt after we left. And my son actually added salt to his food. Everything was not bad tasting exactly but just very bland and not memorable. The pizza was the only good thing at a decent price. I got a 10” white pizza and it was almost as good as Mellow Mushrooms, just less flavor but definitely tasted fresh and cooked perfectly. I would recommend just ordering their pizza to go and maybe ask them not to forget the salt and add a little extra garlic butter on the side just in case. The bread was good, they get their mini italian bread loaves from elsewhere not made in house, but they add butter and garlic and herbs and toast it nicely. Reminds me of the bread I got when I used to go to school. Not bad, it was a little comforting because it was toasted so well. My husband was disappointed with the lack of variety and protein portions. He was really excited to order a seafood pasta like he usually does when we go to italian restaurants. But the only seafood option they had was a cajun shrimp that he said wasn’t spicy at all or tasty. He didn’t finish it. And we left to get him a burger after. We spent about 65$ for our little family which is about average for when we eat out, but for the price we were expecting a little more I think. The pastas just taste like cream, not much butter or salt or garlic or anything special. I just think we were very underwhelmed. I think they would do well to change the name to something more pizza related and just have it centered more around to-go orders. Or if they stay as-is- maybe add a little nice Italian music and mood lighting. Some table cloths and fabric napkins as opposed to paper. Some proper dinnerware and glassware. Start off with waters. Have a nicer dresscode other than casual no uniform. And turn off the weird anime cartoons playing on the side. I would recommend salting the pasta water more as well and upping the flavor and adding variety to the menu.
