Great staff, very kid friendly (gave them dough to play with and shape/then cook). Will definitely now be a staple in our rotation and look forward to coming back again. Food was fantastic!

Always great food. Service was a bit slow but it appeared staffing was limited. But I don’t mind waiting when the food is so good.

We were looking to find a new restaurant and liked the menu and gave it a try. What a pleasant surprise to have come upon a treasure. From the moment the owner greeted us at the door we were cared for like family, the food was outstanding and the $26/bottle Sicilian wine paired perfectly with our appetizers and entrees. We have found our new go-to restaurant for excellent food and atmosphere.

Out server didn’t even know we were there. Another server finally took our order after we flagged her down to order drinks. Long wait for food which was bland at best Lame draft beer selection.

Service was very slow, think they might have been short-staffed. Food was superb which made up for the service.
