Whipped ricotta was not our fave, slightly bland. Brussel sprouts were very good, liked spicy sauce. Bucatini Amatriacini was not very good, have had so much better, a bit flavorless and oily. Soppresta and sausage pizza was very good. We were mixed on Tiramisu but I loved it.

Tour- 5 stars, fantastic! The tour was amazing- educational and fun with some great beer samples. Can't beat the ambiance in the restaurant, but service was pretty slow, but who's in a hurry when you're enjoying great beer?! Whoever created the Stone Fireside Magic brown ale deserves a big fat raise and an award for the best ale I've ever tasted in my life. Wow wow wow!!!

What an amazing way to enjoy Halloween with the family! Perfect beautiful setting! We had a blast. The only thing that was a bummer is the food and drink orders took over an hour, so I wouldn’t recommend coming hungry.
