   The food was delicious. We enjoyed a pizza from the wood burning oven, the pappardelle bolognese, the gnocchi and several salads. Service was top notch. Airy, loft-like space has a fun vibe. Brandon is a personable and helpful bartender. The place is new and there were a few hiccups, but Manager Jackie was exceptionally responsive and a hospitality pro. We’ll be back!

   You will not be disappointed with anything on this menu!! We had a few appetizers, drinks, and then the buffalo margarita pizza and it was all amazing. The pizza oven makes a crust that can not be done any other way :) great place all around and I highly recommend eating here. The staff is very helpful and attentive even on a rather busy evening. Thank you to the entire staff. 6 out of 5 stars!! :)

   Food was tasty. Our server struggled with getting a bottle of red wine open. Either she needs more practice or needs to trim her nails to a manageable length to perform her job duties. My sons said their dirty vodka martinis tasted watered down. I waited awhile for a glass of proseco-- my fellas already had their drinks for awhile. Not sure why it wasn't on a tray with the other drinks.We ate super early...how crazy do the wait times get by 7pm? Our server did check back on our meal, which was appreciated. Dessert was yummy. You seem heavy on hostesses, maybe they can pitch in on clearing dishes here & there.

   Very nice restaurant. Still working a few things on connection. Food was very good and fresh. Chicken panini needed an add with a pesto sauce. Overall, ambience and food were very good. Highly recommend!! Winter time best to sit away from front door as cold air was intrusive. Great having a new place to dine and welcome!!

   Nice homey place. The menu is relatively simple, pastas, brick oven pizzas , salads etc, but all nicely done and seemingly all house made. Great for pre-theater dinner as they are fairly fast. Pleasant modern decor.

   I’ve been waiting to try this restaurant when I saw it was opening since it’s so close! Drinks were great and all so different! We had the meatballs al forno, bruschetta, zucchini frites, a salad and a couple of pizzas. Everything was so good, no complaints - sad we missed the arancini, but there’s next time! The restaurant design and ambiance was also really nice and our server was great and attentive! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu!

   Granted we were here on a Monday night and it was pretty quiet. I loved our dinner, the atmosphere, our waitress… etc. it It’s such a cool vibe. The food was yummy. My cocktail was tasty. It was so nice. We will be back.

   Not a great dining experience, very loud, brought soup out with the entree, soup warm at best. No gluten free menu ( Leilani next door, same owner has one). Five dollar extra charge for gluten free crust. No silverware on table, had to ask for knife and fork to finish cutting the pizza, was brought a spoon and fork. Outer edges of the pizza were burnt.
