    Service was nice, but the savoury foods we ordered, including a Margherita pizza, a pasta, a bruschetta, and a salad, were all quite salty. The dining area was pleasant though, and was peaceful during a Sunday brunch

    This was our first visit here, and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. We couldn’t decide what to order, so we sampled a little bit from every section of the menu—and everything was outstanding. The pizzas were a highlight, not just for their incredible flavor but also for the fun and energy of the pizza chefs. Watching them toss dough and create masterpieces added so much to the experience. The service was warm and attentive, and we left already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

    Beautiful location with open bright tables and comfy seating! We were a group of 8 and the service was spectacular and the food was tremendous! We went for lunch and we were served and ready to go within an hour or so! We would definitely recommend for any occasion!

    There was a lapse in service right at the beginning but after that it was fine. The salad lettuce could have been cut up instead of slapping the head of romaine on the plate. The gluten free pizza was a bit underbaked but was delicious. I quite liked the fact that there was a gluten free option in the pizza and the pasta. Decor leaves a little to be desired, I am not sure if the graffiti is deliberate but it felt a bit grungy.

    The sever was very nice and helpful. The drinks were good. Unfortunately my mom’s gluten free pizza was undercooked (the crust) and 2 of our pasta dishes were cold when they arrived at the table. They still tasted good, but we should be served hot food, definitely not cold.

    Really miss some of the old menu items and previous staples weren’t as great as they’ve been in the past. The server was nice but had lots of tables (not her fault at all - her service was good). Everything was else overall was okay.
