Awesome food and service. I was there for a business lunch and due to the close proximity of the tables, it was a challenge to have certain sensitive conversations

The simplicity of Italian cuisine was lacking. The mozzarella sandwich was too greasy and only crispy on one side and soggy on the other. The pizza had way too many topics and not cooked true Napoli style. The salad was refreshing. Fantastic customer service.

We were there for early lunch on a Monday, so it was very quiet. The food was wonderful. We both had the tomato basil soup, which was hot and satisfying, flavorful and not too much cream as so many restaurants do. I had the panzanella salad, which I loved for the preserved watermelon chunks as well as the rest of the veggies and the dressing. My husband had the veal piccata, which he said was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend!
