The gelato came in an awesome serving size, large! We asked for pizza to go and they gave it to us at the perfect time. My husband got the large hot chocolate and they even gave us to go cups which we were not expecting but amazing and thoughtful. Our waitress went above and beyond, you can tell she cared, and she was very nice. We had a 3 month old baby with us, the inside of the restaurant was loud, but not too loud for her, we had comfortable seats, and an amazing experience.
