Wonderful service by Laura (and a great backup team), plus everything we had was excellent. We had two pizzas as appetizers. Margherita pizza was basic but that’s what makes it so good, while the lemon pizza was a favorite of the whole table. We also had the caramelle pasta dish and the agnolotti pasta dish. The serving sizes are just right - we each cleaned our plates! We had tiramisu and vanilla gelato as well as an affogato with vanilla gelato for desserts. All were delicious. We will be back!

One of our most pleasurable dining experiences in a while. The small plate (similar to Tapas) selection was fantastic. My wife and I selected 5 items and a dessert which were all easily sharable. The service was fantastic. Our server took the time to explain the various items on the menu and answered our questions. The bartender came to our table to explain a drink variation my wife was interested in and created a signature drink on the spot. We felt very satisfied by the time we were done and was pleasantly surprised when we received the bill and saw how reasonable it was. We attended a comedy show at the Orange Peel which was so convenient to Ukiah. We don't live in Asheville, but we will surely return here the next time we are in town.
