    Decided to try the restaurant after visiting the bar many times. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the restaurant was from every aspect including the food. It’s the closest we have come to experiencing good Italian food outside of Italy and there’s no need to go to NYC. Will come back for sure and glad to have found this gem.

    A cascade of flowers and the mural paintings really grabs up when you walk in. The service is friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The kale fritters were so crunchy delicious that we were enchanted. The grilled shrimp were juicy and spicy. All the serving bowls, platters are handcrafted and unique. The meal was so well spiced and two entrees were enough for 3 people. The mango ice cream cubes were a revelation! Def worth a return visit!

    We were so happy to eat here last night. We had just been to a great ceviche place in Miami Dade County and were worried that nothing could match up to it, but your restaurant did the only input I would give is the heat might’ve been on a tiny bit too high! We are definitely coming back and looking forward to your excellent food.

    Food was very good during both recent visits to Ah Pizz. Salads, Pizza and Chicken Parm were all very good and priced very reasonably. Considering how busy the restaurant gets especially during an evening when there is a Wellmont Theater event, the wait staff and hostesses are very friendly, calm and accommodating. Food was also brought to the table in a timely manner.
