Ok so we ordered the the bruschetta sampler, three bruschetta styles one style was topped with the butteriest filet. I ordered the chicken limone, it was the juiciest chicken filet on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes topped with the perfect lemon caper cream sauce. Definitely will be back very soon!“

We've had slices, manicotti, salad, gyros, and whole pizzas. They've done several upgrades since we've started visiting, but their recent upgrade has made this spot top notch! We have never had a bad experience here. The food is always stellar and the service is A+! Y'all, do yourself a favor and come by to see Manny! He's been friendly since day 1 and has nade each visit a great one! Thank you, Manny, we appreciate you!“
