The food here is interesting and very well prepared. It's not exactly your spaghetti and red sauce place but the food will feel familiar and comforting. The services friendly and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the food and wine. When crowded, it's definitely on the noisy side.

The food was very good. If you are looking for pizza, there are lots of choices. Not so many non-pizza ones. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and drink options. It was noisy but not so noisy that we couldn't have a good conversation. Our only complaint was that our table was in front of the door so every time someone came in, we got hit with cold air.
