We were in Tuscaloosa for the Funkfest at the Amphitheater, and walked up the hill to find some early supper before the show. The yummy smells drew us in! Great service, seated quickly and friendly staff. Pepperoni, mushroom & green pepper pizza was amazing - some of the best ever! Great beer choices and a pleasant atmosphere. Give them a try the pizza was divine!

We were sat fast but that us where fast ended. I ordered a mimosa and a coffee which were made gast enough and out on the counter, but it took our waitress 10 minutes to get us the drinks. She was no where to be found. When I got them the coffee was luke warm and the mimosa was no longer cold. The food was good but the service was too slow. I ordered another mimosa when I finished the first one and never even got that one. All of our drinks were empty as she never checked on us. Cannot recommend.

Excellent pizza, service and atmosphere

We enjoyed food. Friendly service and atmosphere.

Not worth the 2 hr wait. Food is mediocre and the service sucks. They should take reservations. I do t recommend this place

Good Italian restaurant in town for those living in tuscaloosa. Good atmosphere and good food. I liked that the food was not too salty.

Authentic Italian food that is up there with the best I've had. Only critique is that that they won't take reservations, which makes it impossible to plan for unless you have nowhere else to be. Please consider offering reservations, or at least an online wait list where people aren't forced to stand around waiting for 1-2+ hours (which substantially and unnecessarily detracts from an otherwise great experience).

Excellent service and food. The bread pudding is to die for!

Great atmosphere and incredible service. Overall, the food was very good but one of our dishes needed more seasoning--was a bit bland as others have noted. However, the vast majority of the dishes were very good to excellent. Breadsticks were worth wait and were amazing as was the appetizer platter. We will return!

Ate there last week during a tour of UA campus, seemed busy each night, so we tried it. Food was fine, wait staff friendly, popular for locals, enjoyed our experience, reasonably priced.
