    The food was fantastic, but the service was not good. We sat for 12 minutes before a server acknowledged us. Then she took our drink order and it was a long wait for our drinks to come. Then I saw her tell the expediter that she forgot to enter our appetizer, so there was another long wait for that. There were several servers working, but none of them had any sort of urgency to what they were doing. They could certainly turn tables much quicker if they would be more attentive and quicker with the service.

    Fun new restaurant. Little chilly near front door on a cold night. Need some kind of vestibule to block the cold air. Very good food. Great server. A bit of work needed on getting every order out at the same time as we had 6 people. We’ll be back for sure!!!’

    We went for lunch on a Saturday at 11:15. We had a reservation for 11:30. But there were able to seat us early as it was not that busy. Though there were people there. We each had the $14 soup or salad and pizza. My spouse and I each got the Fire-Roasted Tomato Bisque soup and a pizza. Our friend had one of the salads and a pizza. The cup of Fire-Roasted Tomato Bisque soup tasted really good, but was fairly small. The pizzas were personal sized. Though we each gave each other as slice of each of our pizzas to try. My spouse had the Pepperoni Mushroom pizza. I had the Sausage & Brocolini pizza. Our friend had the Buffalo Margherita pizza. I liked the pizza I had - the Sausage & Brocolini pizza - the best. It was excellent. Not salty. Very tasty. I liked leas the Buffalo Margherita pizza. Usually, I like Margherita pizzas, but this one did not have enough toppings or flavor. They also have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Our bill totaled $81 before tip for three people.

    Group of 4 for a Friday night dinner at 7pm. Place was packed, but we were seated immediately and the noise level wasn't too bad. We could still easily talk to each other at a booth table. Loved the interior design and the food was amazing. We got a salad, two pizzas, a pasta, and tiramisu. Everything was good, even the drinks. Since we came over from Chicago, I'd say the bill was reasonable and we would come here again if we were ever in Aurora.
