This hidden gem has become the go to spot for me and my seven year old son. We had the Pizza alla parmigiana, the margherita pizza, both were SOOOO delicious. On other occasions we tried the meatballs, the chicken parmigiana and salad. The mocktails are amazing as well. My favorite is the lychee mojito and my son loves the blue lagoon. The rose Martini was ok. George appears shy or timid, but he's super sweet and provides great service. My son never forgot his name. I highly...

The pizza, the seafood pasta, and burger was magnificent! It’s a great neighborhood restaurant. George is so kind, he convinced me to try the pizza and I’m happy he did.also mocktail was 10/10.

George is just a chill dude 😅 what some would consider timid but he is good! He recommended great options and held great convo. I had the paperdelle pasta (great) and the cacio w/chicken parm on top (light, buttery and great). Also the rice balls for appetizers. 10/10 EVERYTHINGGGGG oh and the lychee mojito is a musttttttt.
