    Our waitress was amazing! She was very attentive, made great suggestions, & went above & beyond for our birthday celebration. We recommend the eggplant parmesan, margherita pizza, arancini, and the Berry Blast cocktail. The birthday girl got a free dessert & a spiked strawberry with a huge “sparkler” lit up to commemorate the evening. This was our first time here & we will be back!

    Food was great. There was a large hair in our food. Addressed the issue and new food was brought out. Thought maybe there would be a comp or discount but there was none.

    One of my favorite places. But this evening it was extremely loud. Our server forgot about us constantly. Food and drinks were fantastic as always though!
