What a delightful and delicious experience! Great restaurant! We did not have a reservation (it was a Tuesday)and they were packed but they opened up the upstairs to accommodate us without blinking twice - very friendly and professional.

Service was excellent, never had a glass run low and communication was great. Pizza and apps were great. Highly recommend the Cigs and Cynar cocktail and the trout toast

My wife and I visited on Thursday, September 11th for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised by the charm of the older downtown building and the decor of the space. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the service was outstanding.

We shared an order of arancini as well as an og pie. Both were delicious and the cook, especially on the pie was perfect. To accompany our dinner, we each ordered limoncello martinis, which were equally delicious.

The only suggestion we have to improve the experience would be to forgo the rap music (most don't consider it music at all) in favor of something more attune to the atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant. Jazz or Italian music would pair nicely in my opinion.

Overall, we had an excellent experience for our first time. As mentioned, the building, the decor, the staff, the service, and especially the food were outstanding. We look forward to sampling some other menu items (except for the limoncello martini, they need to be our go to) on our next visit.

Absolutely loved my experience here from start to finish! The menu was unique and flavorful. Most of the ingredients come straight from Italy as well as the wine. The service was also great. Can’t wait to come back!

Good service. Good food—once we got it, nearly an hour after ordering. We cancelled everything except the entrees, since it was clear they were all going to come out at the same time. Kinda defeats the purpose of appetizers. So if you’ve got someplace to be (show, theater) maybe go somewhere else.

Wonderful experience! The ambiance and overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice. They have unique cocktails that are a whole experience in itself.
The food was delicious. Started off with a few small plates - the burrata bites with homemade sauce are a must have!
I am not a huge fan of wood fired pizza, but this crust was 10/10. I am used to typical Erie wood fired - super chewy and crunchy. But this was so airy and flavorful!
We will certainly be returning for another date night!

How do I give 10 stars?!? Every aspect, every time, perfection. The pizza is so good. Top tier ingredients. Ownership is exceptionally hospitable. Zach running the bar is the most knowledgeable somalier in the entire region. He is not pretentious at all. He is eager to help and share the love of food. I can't think of any aspect of this place that needs improvement. Erie is becoming a foodie town and I'm here for it! Worth every penny. An experience to remember!

Worst place I’ve ever been, we ordered a pizza and they were burnt, the made us wait for almost 2 hours to serve our food , another couple walked in after us and they got their food a lot quicker, never coming again, do not recommend, service was also bad

Best Pizza in Erie, and the cocktails were amazing! service was great as well

David Slupek

Very POOR experience here. Very NOT flavorful food. POOR, INACCURATE advertisement of the food as well.

Example: Braised pork shoulder came out as ground pork.
