We ordered take out. Their pizza is my favorite in the area. The crust is light and doesn't feel heavy. I wish I had pictures to share, but is a good place to have a sit and enjoy
May 2026
Everything was wonderful, from the warm greeting at the door to the INCREDIBLE chocolate mousse for dessert! Very gracious hosts, lots of locals there by time we left and the food was perfection on a plate!! Leave plenty of time to find parking because it can be challenging.
February 2026
The food was fine overall. Good atmosphere. I ordered the salmon pasta, which was slightly overcooked for my taste. Parking is available with validation code — 90 minutes free during lunch and 2 hours free during dinner.
