    The igloo experience was awesome! Joseph our waiter was great as well as all the other staff. Food was delicious, only a little disappointed they didn’t have Branzino available, but just a reason for us to return again soon. Overall a wonderful night and a great way to celebrate the New Year!

    We loved this restaurant. This was a new find for us - one town over from where we live. Being Italian it's hard to find Italian food that I like since I am used to fresh ingredients at home. The foundation sauce in this Italian Restaurant is delicious. The variations of the vodka and spicy sauces are tasty, as well. The personal pizza was big enough for two if you have an app, but we ordered it to try and have some leftovers. We loved the igloo, but honestly the inside of the restaurant was just as cute and festive. Our server, Irene, was super helpful and quick but the food was still spaced enough where we could enjoy it. The garlic knots were huge and tasted great. I am still shocked that I had never gone to this establishment before, but so glad we found it.

    Wow, thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your first visit and that our sauces and fresh ingredients lived up to your high standards—especially coming from someone who knows great Italian food! 😊 It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed both the igloo experience and the festive atmosphere inside the restaurant. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Irene and the rest of the team. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon—now that we’re no longer a secret!
