The food and service were great, the restaurant itself is lovely.the wine was delightful. The music was not great and too loud. Recommend surveying the crowd/average age/ vibes before choosing Italian pop music at Christmas.

My wife and I shared a ‘Hot Honey & Smoked Prosciutto’ pizza, and it was delicious—a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and salty flavors on beautifully baked dough. Our server, Kendrick, was patient and attentive, and the entire staff collaborated smoothly to ensure a great experience. We sat at the window area facing the parking lot, at their new round tables, which were surprisingly comfortable and quiet. It's been a while since we’ve eaten here, and, as expected, we had a wonderful experience. Thank you!
