Exactly as advertised. Very good pizza, solid basic Italian, at good prices for the island.

Where to start. I'll give the pizza 3 stars. My 8 year old thought it was kinda good, and I'll leave that there. The Alfredo was greasy and gross. It came to the table already separating. My wife took 3 bites, and we left the rest there. Now on to the lasagna. I ordered this craving a baked pasta dish, and I couldn't be more disappointed. I will say the meat sauce was very good and paired well with the garlic bread, but that is where the goodness stopped. The entree had 8 lbs of cheese on the top of the dish to hide the embarrassing small portion. I seriously had a hard time finding any actual pasta in the dish. It's very greasy as well, and it's definitely not worth the price tag. For a "lasagna," chicken alfredo, a small pizza, 3 drinks, and tip was 70 dollars!!!!! We will never be back here. Better Italian elsewhere on the island.

Server is obviously comfortable. He spent more time hanging out in the server area than paying Attention to the customer. He didn't check to see if we needed more drinks and brought all the food at the same time.. so I had to eat my salad while my entree was getting cold ..then my party had to wait on me while I finished. He didn't check to see if we needed anything .. probably would have liked some Parm cheese and peppers but he didn't ask..we needed Togo containers and I wanted dessert but again..never saw him after he dropped off the food and He never brought the Bill. The food was awesome.

Best food ever. The pizza is amazing. The staff and even the owner are the nicest people. The owner comes out and talks to everyone. It gets very busy around 5pm and it's not a real big place but it's always clean and

I don't know about anyone on here, but the positive reviews are very misleading when you actually eat here. Me and my friends ate here and the waiters and waitresses were very rude, they were staring at us, whispering and laughing as we ate as if we were animals. God only knows if they treat their customers like animals on the daily. Not only that, we all found at least one piece of blonde hair in our food, there were 11 of us eating, so can you imagine the hair just in our food? I absolutely don't recommend coming here because of their behavior and attitude. Don't bring your kids around this establishment if you don't want them getting sick or pulling hair out of their mouth when they take a bite out of this restaurants food

Best pizza I've had in 15 years. Will visit again. Excellent location right next to Soundside park. I plan to order the pizza ahead while the kids are running their energy down at the park.

My husband and I stopped by around 3 pm to get a bite to eat and the place was essentially empty. It was our first time in but I was still skeptical as I never really heard of anyone raving about this place. my husband ordered a chef salad and I ordered a side salad and we both ordered water with lemon. The glasses of water arrived with packets of lemon juice. Not exactly what I was expecting. We had plastic forks, plastic ramekins, and plastic plates for a dine-in situation. When my husband's chef salad arrived it was a rolled-up lump on a plate on top of lettuce. He proceeded to cut it open and proceeded to reveal the layers of cold cuts and cheese when we saw something that was somewhat gross. A couple of pieces of the cold cuts had a brown tinge to it. Mortified we called the waiter over. We showed it to him and he had no words. I encouraged him to speak to his manager. The waiter returned with our bill and gave us the message from the manager that it was normal for cold cuts to turn brown when exposed to the air. We received a 3 dollar discount but to me, there was no good excuse for this when that explanation was completely bogus. Also, they knew what they were doing by rolling up that mess and putting it in the salad. I don't think I will ever dine here again.

Found this little place while out riding around today. Appetizer was the cheese curds, very small portion for the price but they were really good. My husband got the lasagna, I got the chicken alfredo. Both meals came with a loaf of bread. Bread was delicious! Lasagna portion was fairly small, but no complaints on taste! Chicken alfredo was delicious, chicken had so much flavor by itself as well (which is a plus). Overall it was a good experience. We will definitely be back!
