Went for Happy Hour which is quite awesome! Craft Cocktails, Several Wine Varieties (not just one red/white) and delicious food.

Will definately be back for dinner and to check out live music they were setting up for on a Friday night.

The vibe is gorgeous and classy.

Orion was amazing as well as Kristina.

The ambience is great! They have live music and great outdoor seating. The food is always good, but on the more expensive side and they need more variety on the appetizers side of the menu. They made a mistake on our bill and charged more for the second drink even though they were both the exact same drink but we didn’t realize it until we had left.

I highly recommend! Great place to eat an Italian meal.
-Outside seating you can bring your Pup. Inside gets a nice breeze, it’s appealing to the eyes.
-Drinks were delicious; I had the Raspberry Mint Press. Good presentation, but flavor was delicious.
-Appetizers we had were, their freshly cute bread loaf with what tasted like fresh butter, Bruschetta, An Artichoke cooked to perfection with a addicting dipping sauce.
-Wedge salad and homemade blue cheese dressing.. delicious again.
-Main course for me was their ham and pineapple calzone w/ marinara sauce on the side. I didn’t love my calzone, it was ok but to much dough to ration of ingredients inside and it was a tad soggy because of the pineapple.
My Daughter had the Spaghetti meatballs and that was very flavorful and great portions. Pizza was a thin crust and cooked perfectly and had a great seasoning on top.
All and all we’ll go back.
What made our night though was our waiter who was also the bartender. He was attentive to our needs and was helpful; plus our drinks were delicious.

We really enjoyed the lasagna, Hawaiian pizza, and wedge salad. The staff was great too. They have very nice indoor and outdoor dining areas. There was pleasant live music as well. Kind of annoyed they stick you with a 4% surcharge. Overall, decent food, nice vibe, and great staff.

This place was amazing. Kids and I walked in thinking it was a casual Italian pizza place. Yet the fancy and super welcoming staff made us feel welcomed, casual and warmed us up with great mouth melting bread and butter. Restrooms clean, tables, bar, outside and inside clean and prideful. Our pizza, spaghetti and blonde draft was delicious. Bryce was so nice friendly and love his smile. Definitely coming back to try some of their wine and other pasta plates.

Pleasantly surprised, really wasn’t expecting such a solid meal. From the massive portion (finally Italian spot doing it right) to flavor of the balanced sauce to quality of chicken and thick rigatoni pasta, I loved it.

The added crumbled sausage was also tasty, the added meatball was fine but not my favorite. A nice sized soft and warm loaf of bread to sop the sauce made me a happy camper.

Even the tamper proof delivery bag and red pepper flake packets shows they are thinking of it all.

I would say $40 is a little pricey for one dish with added protein BUT I really can’t complain when you consider the portion… I have leftover for lunch tomorrow so it’s actually a deal!

Will be a go to spot for me when up here.

This was a very pleasant dining experience. The outdoor seating with a nice view and heaters create a comfortable ambiance. The restaurant is dog friendly as we took our Maltese with us and they brought her a cup of water right away.
There was a lady singing with a soft karaoke background music that added to the ambiance.
Good was great n tasty, service was friendly n professional, portions were good.
We had some minestrone soup and garlic fries to start with and a couple of refreshing drinks. Then had the chicken picata and the scarface. To finish we had cannoli with cappuccinos. We will go back. You should give this place a try.

Disappointed. Pizza was tough, undercooked, and very salty. The Lasagna was not edible, like rubber. Garlic fries were stale and soggy. Cheese ravioli had a lime flavor. The spaghetti and meatballs were okay in comparison to the rest of the food. Feels like I just gave the restaurant a donation instead of paying for a meal.
