I was quite disappointed by our meal tonight. I ordered Tagliatelle with mushrooms & basil — the pasta was over-cooked (not “al dente”) & tasteless; the mushrooms didn’t seem fresh, more like canned mushrooms. The service was good; maybe other dishes are better.

Shannon & Peter we’re amazing. It was busy & food took awhile to come but once the food came they kept checking up on us. Smiling. Conversing a little with us. They even surprised us with a little something at the end which we loved. Amazing service & hospitality. Love them family owned restaurants

Wow this place is the real deal. A lovely couple from Bari Italy making everything from scratch. right down to the incredible chili mix! Before you sat down for 5 minutes they bring out these cute little fried mini pizza doughs with that chili mix and you just go now. This place is going to be good. Pizza was incredible. Salad was delicious lamb skewers to start as well. The only thing they need is more people to know about it and it is going to do fantastic. This is the type of place that deserves your support..it opened Fall 2022. B
