Fun decorations and the food is good. But music is loud which I guess is part of the vibe.

Dinner was supreme! Waited awhile for a nice table in front, and another diner asked if we had ever been there before and we replied no, I guess he seen us waiting, he than said “ It is worth the wait”Well it was definitely worth the wait!! And I want to mention , we waited longer because we wanted to be outside, so we would have been seated sooner! Pizzza was delicious, Pasta bolognese was so good! My husband wanted Gnocchi in a pesto instead with a sauce and mozzarella,they had no problem accompanying his order !! Make a reservation, it’s definitely needed! Enjoy!!
