I ate a minestrone followed by a pizza.The pizza was good but far from the best. I decided not to finish the bare dough parts which I love on a great pizza, but not this one.The minestrone was just bleak. It lacked enough veggies to fill up the bowl.Also, the sparkling wine options need improvement.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegan salads and vegan pizza. All-veg minestrone soup.

Came back to try the mini shells in white sauce and it was delicious. The calamari was really good too. Cannoli was meh, but maybe next time I’ll try the gelato

I sat outside both times and found the ambience to be great for a fun brunch or cozy dinner.Pros: Great atmosphere, outdoor dining is a plus, servers are very nice and the food is delicious.
