Was looking for a nice normal dinner, but there were 100’s of tipsy people around our table, pressed tight, and a band was playing way way way too loud. If you’re converting into a bar please let us all know. So we know. Worst dinner of our lives. Or if all you have are high tops then tell the web app there is a band, again so we know not to come on that evening. Then people can decide it’s not where they want to go for that night. Thank you.

Had the filet which was perfectly cooked. My husband had his Russo sausage pizza that he really enjoyed. Michael and Juan were great servers. (Just miss our usual server Sabrina).

Everything was fine, but there are a few things I wish they would improve on. This is our third time dining there and I always forget that they don’t have a children’s menu. It bugs me because it’s in a very family friendly area and yes, there is pizza so that’s what my child got, but it would be nice if they had a few other options. One time I believe we pieced her together a meal with a cup of soup and a side dish of noodles. Our server was good, and she recommended a dessert that was really fantastic! Overall, I guess it’s a good pizza place and we were happy with the drink selection, but I do wish they’d make a bit of an effort to have slightly more kid friendly options.

Really enjoyed the flatbread special. My husband had his usual sausage and peppers and really enjoyed that! Disappointed that our favorite Sabrina wasn’t working though.

Garlic knots are soooo good! Our kids love the calamari too. I appreciate the wine by the bottle selection. Service was good, support staff and server was attentive.
