Absolutely love this place! Been going frequently for a while and then we had them cater at work for an Open House Event and it was a smashing hit! Everyone loved the pies, meatballs and wings!

Pizza was really good! We were a little surprised that they were playing explicit music in the restaurant but we came in at 2 PM and they weren’t too busy so not too big of a dealKid-friendliness: Music wasn’t kid friendly at all and the menu is probably too mature for most kids

Decided to try this place after seeing it while shopping in the area. We got in just before a rush and sat at the bar. Rebecca was tending bar and was amazing. She answered our questions and made food suggestions for us to try. We settled on appetizers, and everything was really good. The staff was engaging and very welcoming. It is a busy place, but we never felt unattended here. We will be back to try some of the other menu items.Parking: Depending on the time, there is parking close to the entrance. We got here and had to park on the other side of the building, but it wasn't too bad.
Possibly the worst pizza in the area. Char and Lemon attempts to capture the authentic old country way of pizza making and completley falls flat. I ordered the white clam and the godfather, the clam was a sad excuse in total my pizza had a total of 10 small clams on it and was extremely dry. The godfather was okay it's your typical meat pizza. The price was the most astonishing for 2 pizzas it cost a total of 43 dollars and the pizzas are about the size of a small pie from other resturaunt. In my opinion if you are looking specifically for pizza there are plenty of better options price wise and quality wise in the area.

I was told that I ordered the last Lobster Ravioli of the season and it did NOT disappoint. Also, Victoria was a joy for both me and my date who are return patrons. She recommended the cheesy bread which has a pleasant kick in the marinara sauce. This is deff a sunday brunch vibe and I look forward to being back for that Lavender Lemonade… it’s the bomb!
The food is fresh and delicious. Definitely a great place to get food and enjoy yourself.Dietary restrictions: All the pizzas can be made gluten free and the crystal tastes good.

Oxford's best-kept secret. Tremendous atmosphere that is always upbeat and cheerful. The wait staff are helpful and polite (Jose!!!) and the food is out of this world.You owe it to yourself, your family, your friends and or your date to check this place out. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

UPDATE 2/2/24Not sure what changed here, but we went for lunch today and were charged non-lunch prices. When asked about the bill we were told the server assumed we ordered from the regular menu. Not only is this highly confusing, since the lunch menu items were also on the "regular" menu, but we were given both menus upon seating, and never asked which we wanted. Never had this issue before, never asked before, and the sizes appeared identical to what we typically receive, in all our lunches before. Server was pleasant, and checked with us often, but when it came time for the check, time seemed to slow to a crawl, and with the pricing mixup it took us 20 minutes longer to exit, and get back to the office late. We're reconsidering coming here for lunch next time around.Dropping stars for food & service.Great crust and sauce.Very tasty.Can get pricey if you don't pay attention .Easy lunch

While we live in Connecticut we really are about 30 minutes away from the restaurant. After my daughters' swim meet at the local high school we and our daughter's friend and parents decided to come in for lunch. Not only did they easily accommodate our party of 7 it was by far the best lunch date we have had in a long time! The staff was beyond perfect, friendly and attentive. Being diagnosed with celiac disease has been challenging at times especially being diagnosed later in my life. Adjusting to and removing some of my favorite foods has been something I have struggled with but I can say beyond shadow of a doubt the gluten free selection and quality of food is beyond superb. I ordered the gnocchi and braised short rib with the gluten free option and if I could have asked for seconds I would have. The pasta was hands down the best I have had. I would have licked the bowl clean if I didn't look silly. My wife loved the grain salad and daughters loved the pasta. I decided to order a gluten free pizza to go as I couldn't decide between pasta and pizza ( must restaurants have limited gluten free items usually just a penne noodle and a cardboard flavored pizza crust) and again NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! I took the unique Ala vodka pizza home and instantly fell in love with this dough...the wood char...the flavor and those toppings !!! We can't wait to come back very reasonably priced fantastic portions ( and yes I would have attempted seconds on that gluten-free pasta). Very clean and contemporary atmosphere, not rushed and can feel the pride of the establishment in all the workers we interacted with. Food came out quick and hot the kids ate so much without a single complaint ( even enjoyed a cocktail from the bar...a good Ole fashioned Shirley Temple). Definitely worth every penny !!!Dietary restrictions: The best gluten free food I've had
Delicious airy crust pizza. It stands out. Worth the try!
