This place was very cute as it was well decorated for a great ambience, the food was fantastic, and the drinks were very tasty! It is a bit pricey but well worth it if you’re a food lover and don’t mind splurging on a good time with good people. Can’t wait to go back when it’s warm and they open the rooftop!!!

First time. Nice ambiance, a little noisy. The waiting staff was good and very nice, but due to under staffing it took very long to get drinks and appetizers. Food is pricey, but it was very good.

Very friendly service and fast. Clean place. Date night and lunch date approved. We had the octopus and prosciutto pizza. Amazing. We wake up stil talking about the octopus was so flavorful. You can taste everything from the chickpeas , the peppers, celery and all. Add a hot honey drizzle on the pizza for a little razzle dazzle.
