One of Kelowna's best restaurants, hands down. The food is amazing, and the wine selection is great. But honestly it's the families that own and operate it that give it the most amazing vibe. Their humbleness and pride they feel for their restaurant is so heartwarming, and as a customer you feel like family every time you walk in. I absolutely love this place.
Finally ate here and so happy we did. Fabulous pizza with a crust that has a great bite, fresh toppings made in a apple wood fired pizza oven. Friendly family owner operated. Serving some tasty local beer and excellent in house made tiramisu. We will be back.
