Good stuff! I didn’t catch her name, but our waitress was very attentive and polite. We had a very intense hike so ending it with this meal was perfect. The place had charm and I’d love to hear the history.
Been waiting to try this place since my kid began attending school in Dubuque a year ago. It will not be that long before I return. Food was absolutely wonderful! Started with the Sicilian Salad & Pizza Bread, then had the Mario Panz - which was one of the beat things I’ve ever had. Loved the comfortable, authentic atmosphere of the restaurant too.
Waiter was very attentive. Bartender engaging, knew everyone. Food was amazing.
