I ordered 1x Deluxe Pizza 16'' (12 Slices)\tfor $27.50. The pizza is soft, the dough isn't cooked enough, the cheese is way to thick and it just lifts off the pizza, the pizza sauce has no flavor. I had to throw mine in the convection oven to try and cook it more. I don't recommend getting pizza from here save yourself the trouble and go to 4am pizza right down the street. Check out the photos. They also only cut the pie into 9 slices it's suppose to be 12. Again THE PIZZA IS LITERALLY DOUGHY ITS NOT FULLY COOKED.

This was a massive surprise. Truly enjoyable experience, great with the kids, food was spectacular (the best Italian Beef I ever had, better than Chicago). Cool old building and great service.

I’m hoping it was a fluke, but it was the only time I’ve visited the restaurant so I can’t be sure. The arancini was delicious, but the rest of the meals at the table were rather bland. We were also put off that we had to grab our own water at this style of restaurant but maybe we were weird and that’s normal 🤷🏻‍♀️ We felt the vibes were off and it was hopefully just a bad day, but I don’t think we’ll be going back. It’s a fantastic location and has other good reviews, but we were dissatisfied.

Very friendly waitress. Very helpful giving us ideas to take advantage of the specials that they were offering. She offered us to do two pizzas and two side dishes which was a very cheaper price than ordering one big giant pizza also recommended us trying the lava cakes which was delicious. Will be back

Dont waste your time or money on the chicken piccata. Bland and rubbery and about 5 or 6 bites, for $23 I would expect much better. The pizza isnt bad

I just ordered fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. I recieved spaghetti with a single meatball. The total was $50 and the only thing that was decent was the side salad.

I had the bruschetta to start which was very tasty. I ordered a custom pizza that was pretty good! There are lots of free topping options which is awesome. The service wasn’t great, I have to say. I’m visiting from out of town so I’m not sure if this is a regular issue or not. But all in all a good dinner spot.
