Food was great. Pizza was a standard bar size, hot and tasty. Lots of other Italian style foods looked yummy. One bad thing is bar area is on the small side and it gets really crowded on a Saturday afternoon around 5 530. People crowding around so that they can get your seats, made us very uncomfortable and felt confined, so we boxed up meals and left.

Came in recently for a late lunch, got the ravioli with meatball, was very good, husband got the eggplant parm, I really like this place and I like the atmosphere too, but, one of the servers was obviously at the end of her shift and rushed us terribly, someone should have taken over her table, and not rushed us, we won't be going in again at that time. Very disappointing.

My 6.5 year old daughter and I came for a girls dinner date night. Our server was phenomenal. We sat on the deck and looked out at the water. Will be back again.

Great place! My husband hadn’t been here in years since the grandfather ran it. We had delicious appetizers and a salad and it was more than enough! Megan and the bartender and granddaughter was a superstar! What a great find.

The food and service were very good.
The pizza was really good.
Stopped here for drinks and an appetizer with my mom and sister yesterday afternoon. We had a great time on their outdoor deck and the food and drinks were awesome! We will definitely be back!
Scallops and fresh pasta... Extraordinary!
Went in asked for a table for 6. Three adults three kids. Was told 30 min and they could not seat us outside. The restaurant was empty so I did not understand why we could not be seated. I asked why we can’t sit outside there we’re 6 seats out there technically we only needed 5 seats and one high chair, she said she can’t do that. My baby could have sat in my lap he takes up no space at all. Came here cause the pizza looked good and it’s my son’s birthday week. Sadden to say I wouldn’t try again. I don’t want to assume it was my biracial family. I just can’t wrap my head around why we could not be seated when there was 5 booths open behind her and 5 seats outside when my baby didn’t need a grown up chair.
Love this place, informal but nice, pricing is decent, cocktails are good. Bar area is really social and full of townies in the good way.
