No option to dine in to get out of the heat and away from the flies. Service was slow. AC and stove fan were very loud so the music was turned up so you couldn't hear the people at your table and the server was yelling over top of it all. The panzerroti had a cardboard crust and the sauce was a little bland. The spinach cheese balls were fantastic.

Went expecting an authentic experience. Split a salad and pizza with my wife. Salad was tasty but an iceberg type lettuce. Veggie pizza crust was good but had very few toppings and little cheese. Server was very attentive.
Won't go back and would go to Both Hands Pizza ...much better but only open Thurs-Sat.

Not everyone wants to sit outside, especially when it is hot and humid

Great cheese balls and garlic bread. But meh fries for me(not crispy). And definitely not the best pizza place for sure. The atmosphere was great. The server was amazing. The thing that amazed me was that an elegant place like this uses the 1980s billing system. Food 1, food 2...what..!

Ambiance galore. Fantastic tiramisu. In Thunder Bay, whatever you do, this is a place not to miss.

Great food and even better service. The gnocchi was out of the park!

Great service by Alexander. Start with the Meatballs, Veal is excellent. Big fan of the panzerotti as well.

This place calls for a reservation we didn't have one and the staff made room for us to sit. Food was plentiful and very tasty.

$16 for a cesar salad on a small plate with zero bacon, barely any dressing. Stale bread and crap balsamic. All their apps are frozen mediocrity from Sysco. Can't speak for their mains, but this place is as meh as most restaurants in this town. Cocktails are also low-effort meh. The ambiance was nice tho. Service was pretty good, other than the waitress asking how things were and not sticking around for even a moment to hear the answer.

Authentic Italian restaurant with an excellent selection of menu items for every appetite. Healthy portion sizes are excellent value for the money. The restaurant has the best seating for the space that's available. It's pretty tight in a few spots, and you often get "rubbed" when people pass by. This restaurant is very popular and because of it, and the number of customers, It becomes a bit louder. Our servers were pleasant, but were more consumed with another table, that had customers that seemed to be known by all the servers, so we were pushed aside a bit. However, when the food came out, everything was served perfectly. Overall, a great restaurant with an authentic Italian feel and a great selection of food and drinks!

Been here so many times and have loved it. But tonight was not! What the heck happened here? Felt like a fast food place! Total time there under 40 minutes - rushed.
Food was bad. Entree had uncooked hard pasta, marinara tasted like it was out of a can and was bitter. So disappointed. Service was good but ran out of water and no offer of any other beverages. Will likely not be back and will spread the word.

Great place but the food is really subpar. Pizza crust has no chew, the bread was dry and cold, tiramasu was grainy. Service and ambience fantastic but the menu needs a refresh and clean slate.

Cute vibe but not good food. Pizza is equivalent to a frozen pizza

Great atmosphere but the food was not good. The pasta sauce tasted like it came straight from a jar. There was a party of 8 of us and we all agreed the meal was poor quality and totally over priced. Wish it would’ve been better!
