What a find! We did a web search for Italian and stumbled across this place. Fantastic service and food!

Reviews say it’s a hidden gem, and I do surprisingly agree. It’s not located in a populated area, but it’s definitely a destination restaurant for great food, good portions, and great service. Give this place a try.

Requested pesto sauce as part of my customization, but what I received was just cheese and cream—no pesto at all. Order didn’t match what I ordered.

They did consider my customization and added those but the base was not upto the mark.

Pizza is delicious and filling. Great service too as I forgot to add ranch in my online order and called in to which they provided 2 ranch cups. Finally, they delivered to my hotel room and was on time.

Pizza was warm and fresh.Flavor of the pizza sauce was tasty.

This place is gross. I ordered 2 spicy Italian subs from DoorDash. As someone who has been in the restaurant for 13 years, I’m fascinated that someone thought it was ok to send out a sandwich like the one I got. No italian dressing, cheese or even “spicy”. They soaked the bread in red wine vinegar, added 1 thin slice of ham and 3 paper thin slices of pepperoni. Ruined my whole damn night.

This is one of the places where the rich people eat. But it's not going to break the bank and and the food was pretty good.

Nice place. A little hidden. Was there on a weekend so it was slow. Great people. Pizza was good. Wife loved the pasta. Im sure this place is busy during the week. Enjoy!

Staying in a hotel around the corner and chose this for takeout due to proximity and star ratings. Ordered a large Deluxe, added meatballs, no peppers. Order was ready right on time. Pizza was delicious. Can't speak highly enough, definitely recommend this. I was in and out pretty quick but the staff was extremely friendly. Check 'em out!

I got the penne carbanara and there was plenty of chicken I couldn’t even finish half even though I wanted to. I also got the garlic cheese knots and they were so big would definitely recommend and I will definitely be coming back here.

We picked up the food, service was phenomenal. When we got back to our hotel
and opened the food, we were astonished. Our calzone was 11$ with some added toppings and was huge. Safe to say great portion to price ratio. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious, definitely recommend.

IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT A BOWL OF WARM MILK AND PASTA TASTES LIKE, LOOK NO FURTHER. I was craving fettuccine alfredo for lunch and this one was fairly cheap and close to me so I tried it. I wholeheartedly regret that choice. I have never in my life wondered what it’s like to eat pasta with a bowl of warm milk but it turns out I don’t have to anymore because I experienced it here. This “dish” was so shockingly bland and WET that I had warm milk sauce splashed all over my desk at work while I tried to eat. The chicken was just unseasoned sad white cubed meat. The garlic bread sure is bread but the seasoning had so many parts to it that they all feel cancelled out. It was also burnt but soggy at the same time!!???. I genuinely feel like I could do better with a bowl of ragu sauce, pasta noodles, and a microwave than whatever it is I got here.
I mean their other food might be good but their fettuccine alfredo was terrible. For $16, I’m not expecting some grand meal but gosh, you’d think I’d get served a better dish than PASTA AND WARM MILK. Like why is it so bland!!!!!!!! There’s barely any hints of cheese or salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re going to give Kaiser a run for their money on hospital food!!!!! Because what is this!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the saddest food I’ve had in my life!!!!!!!!!
