This place is a GEM!! I started coming here when they first opened and weren’t even a full restaurant yet, and all they have done is create this place into such an awesome restaurant! I’ve only had a handful of their dinner options, and every single one has been delicious, and I can’t wait to try more. But let me tell you something…… Their desserts…. OOOF SO GOOD!!! And this is coming from a person who rarely eats sweets/sugar. Anything pistachio, insanely good! Any mascarpone cake, mouthwatering! And let’s talk about the person who beautifully designs all these cakes, pastries, etc. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Hats off the the chef/cooks because you’re rocking with how hard you work. Food is delicious and really aesthetically pleasing too😍
They do a fantastic job and people need to realize they do the BEST they can on the most insanely busy evenings. People who complain clearly are entitled, and never actually worked in the service industry, and it shows.
And the owner is right. If you’re that impatient, go through a drive through with crap food, maybe you’ll find something else to complain about 💁🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Save your money customer service is terrible, restaurant is extremely loud, food is over priced and sub par. Staff is rude especially the cook or manager or whatever he is. Staff is not trained well.

Takes forever to get seated even if you have a reservation. The place is so loud you have to scream to talk. The cook is miserable and doesn't know how to talk to people. The food was cold and is sub par. Save your money.

We had a reservation for 8pm. At 9pm we were brought menus while we stood in the front of the restaurant, still not seated. We got seated at 9:15 and were ignored. 930 still no food so I asked to speak to a manager. They sent out the cook/manager/owner who stopped me from explaining what was going on and told me in front of my kids who do you think you are? You are not that important. You gave us a bad review before you even tried the food. Actually I have tried it in the past and it ain't that good bud. I have never been talked to like this by any restaurant employee. Where's your professionalism.

It was great. We made a reservation at 8pm ordered while we were standing waiting for a table. Waited an hour to be seated and it is now an hour and a half later and I still haven't received my food. They brought us out 4 pieces of lettuce while we were waiting don't worry it was on the house. You can't hear anything inside because it is so small and everyone is screaming. A little advise if you ur going to take reservations then you should train your waitresses how to push when necessary. Absolutely horrific experience and I do not recommend anyone goes there unless you like waiting for you food for three hours.

This is the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at and it’s 5 minutes from our house. Their pizza is fantastic, their pasta is some of the best I’ve ever had, but we just left after trying their halibut and filet and it was better than any meal we’ve ever had. Ever. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, because it’s a small local business with exceptional food, it’s usually busy. Definitely worth the price and/or any wait. The owner John puts so much pride into this restaurant and it really shows. Can’t recommend it enough!

We really like this place! The food is fantastic, as are the drinks. Service can be a little slow when they are packed, but this is to be expected. I will agree that it can be a bit noisy. Some sound-dampening boards or fabric would be a big help. Overall, it is a great place!

Stopped in at 1:55pm on a Saturday for lunch. We were turned away. The gentleman who spoke with us said “I stop serving food at 2pm”. Why are they open until 9pm if they stop serving at 2pm?

Best authentic Italian food I've had since visiting Italy this time last summer. From portion size to freshness to flavors, every course was incredible. The freshly baked bread and HOMEMADE ricotta served with pesto and their own tomato jam was almost too good to be true. My main course was blackened swordfish with risotto and green beans. It was everything I hoped it would be and more, spicy, savory, creamy...outstanding flavor and textures. Although we didn't have room for dessert, we took some to go. The flourless chocolate torte is sinfully good. I look forward to my next visit. THANK YOU for an incredible dinner.

I can’t express how much I love this restaurant, first of all I love the owner Jon. His passion really does show in his food and desserts. I’ve had great experiences each time I go and I’ve been many times. I go back for the best cheesecake I’ve ever had as well as all of the other amazing desserts like the cappuccino tart and the tiramisu. The calzones and the pizzas are also a must try but only available before 5. I can’t wait to keep coming back here for hopefully years to come!

We finally had an opportunity to visit for dinner, and we're very happy we did. The food and beverages were tasty and generously served. My dietary requirements and rather annoying dairy allergy were accommodated, and they were able to make the sausage and pepper dish without the sausage. The service was excellent, and the terrace was quite soothing. Indeed, I had to sample a small portion of the handcrafted desserts since they were so beautiful, and it was well worth the effort. The cheese cake and carrot cake were amazing. 10/10 will return, anticipating pizza for lunch and some la prima in the morning 💫

Food was average for the price,the inside noise level made having conversations impossible and the service was POOR AT BEST.We sat at our table for 45 min before our presence was even acknowledged,then we had to ask for bread 4 times and it arrived just as we were finishing our food.The salad portion of our meal was a JOKE! We initially thought that we had received a childs portion since the salad plate had one small sprig of a lettuce leaf and one small cherry tomato.Laughable for the prices they charge.Once our food arrived we never saw our waiter again.3 hours and no fresh water,no one to see how our food was and then left our finished plates remain on the table for 1 hr.Then after 2 1/2 hours the waiter finally asked if we wanted dessert and then gave us our checks while he stood over us watching as we determined his tip %.
I will never return.

Would definitely come back! My only complaint was that it was a little loud. They could use some more sound absorbing materials. Everyone was delicious!
