We were a party of 5. I opted for beef cheeks instead of my normal pizza, and it didn’t disappoint. It tasted awesome. We also had carbonara, pizza and crumbed pork loin. Everyone loved their meals. Service was great, waitress was new to the restaurant but was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely return again and again and again.!
