                The menu is straight forward, the soup was excellent and the Rigatoni Bolognese was very tasty and delivered hot. This restaurant is an excellent choice if you want good food at a reasonable price.

                Good food in a homey bar-like setting. Service was good, although I'll never understand why an "authentic" pizza place only offers Heineken zero instead of Peroni zero as their only non alcoholic beer choice. 🤔 Arancini was tasty but a bit more breading forward than I'm used to. 7/10 Margherita pizza was tasty, with great crust and a perfect cook. I would have liked a little more basil. 9/10 I'll give it another go sometime soon.

                My husband and I went here for our early Valentines day dinner date. The food and drinks were both very good. I recommend the Penne a la Vodka. The business casual atmosphere was also really nice. I dressed up for the occasion and felt really comfortable. The service was very good even though it was a busy evening. We will be going back.

                Always love coming here...food always a hit! Service was a little slower today than usual and it wasn't overly busy, but the server himself was great.
