Everything is superb! You cannot make a wrong choice. Gluten free pizza and pasta were amazing - you can’t tell they’re GF. Even if you just had pizza here it’s not ‘just pizza’ - so many flavours, & fresh quality ingredients. Hand made pasta is exquisite. You want to try this. You HAVE to try it. Desserts are INSANE. Best tiramisu I’ve ever had. Pistachio gelato is To Die For! Great atmosphere- sit up the back where the floor is carpeted for less noise. Good for friend catch ups, family dinner, date night. Service is excellent. I’ve been 3 times in a month & have recommended this place to anyone who will listen.
