Wonderful service & vibe, prices reasonable and 4 different pizzas we ordered all very tasty. Pear bruschetta delicious. Back story of this restaurant is a lovely one, and the owner/chef’s wife was absolutely charming as she explained it. She later most graciously corrected a mistake the waiter made on our bill. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere and service. We will return soon!

Food: outstanding, with minor criticisms: portions small; choices limited (with exception of extensive wine list); pricey. Service: impeccable, with friendly, knowledgeable waiters. Ambience: no white tablecloths, but nice marble tabletops instead. Comfortable seating. More than willing to rectify mistakes (which were not significant in any case). Readily provided voucher for extra time in the garage. In short, a winner, but be prepared to pay for it.

This place is amazing! The hostess, Delaney, is what made our night. I’m currently disabled and she went out of her way to accommodate my needs from the very beginning all the way until the end of our dinner. I had to use the restroom and she personally walked me all the way back to the restroom and held the door for me! The food was incredible, our server was extremely attentive, and the food came out fast. I’ll definitely come back. Thanks Delaney! We will definitely come back :)
