We truly appreciated their effort in accommodating our group at the last minute. Despite no availability when we initially emailed for a 6 PM reservation, they went out of their way to fit us in due to a last-minute cancellation. The food was exceptional—we enjoyed calamari, tuna tartare, four-cheese pizza, Diablo pizza, and a beet and feta salad. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious.

Booked here for a nice, relaxed dinner and they rushed us through 2 courses in under 35mins. Horrible experience. Bread and calamari came out within 4 mins of placing our order, and the pizzas and pasta arrived 5 minutes later while we were halfway through. I don't think you can cook a pizza that fast. The rest of my party's plates were removed while I was still eating. And they came and cleared my plate as soon as I picked up my final slice of pizza. After raising my concerns, waitress told me that management are pushing for fast table turnover and apologised. Never again.
