Had dinner here with my family. Appetizers were good but maybe a bit small for the price. Main food was all good and came out hot! The place is cosy inside and the staff were very pleasant. Overall very good.

Great little pizzeria. Outstanding service, polite and friendly staff. Superior dough fermentation doesn't make you feel bloated after eating the pizza. I loved the little touch of authenticity when ordering coffee. The coffee comes in an old school percolator and you pour it yourself. Love it!! Do yourself a favour and pop in. You won't be disappointed.

Great place to catch up with friends and family. Nice food and fun activities. Great practice for golfers and even more fun for people who just want to experience golf on a not so serious level. Would definitely be back and experience it again.
