A small group of friends and I came to this spot for brunch after a recommendation from a friend. The food was really good! The drinks were good. The service was a different story. We came in early Sunday afternoon, it wasn't very busy. It took them some time to bring us water and ask what we wanted to eat/drink. Service was slow and when asked questions about the menu items the waiter seemed unsure and not very motivated to accommodate something as small as a side swap. Staff wasn't very attentive. We were expecting a different ambiance I suppose and it just didn't match the description given to us by our friend. The music they played was good but it was too low to hear most of the time.

I paid $25 for a tiny salad with 4 peices of shrimp in it! The salad was not fresh at all. I threw it out. The fries were so soggy, they were not edible. Soaked in grease and soggy. The delivery guy left the food sideways so the sauce dripped out. I just can't believe I paid 25$ for this horrendous salad.

Second Review:After the first trip here didn’t go so well (too busy to get service, so just left) I decided to give it another shot. It was busy again, but I was patient. I mean, if it is that busy, something has to give right?Well, I’m glad I waited. The food is actually pretty good. I sat at the bar to get quicker service, but the bartender seemed like she had much to do so service wasn’t on point. However one of the servers was very attentive and although it wasn’t her table she made so sure I at least had water (there was the reason I left the first time ironically).All in all, the food is worth the wait! From the apps to the pizza, it’s all good. So I’ll practice a lil more patience and come back again

?? ?? Loved it there and it was very tasty.

1st time here. Food was good and great portion sizing

The margarita pizza was possibly the best I've ever had, and the cheese pizza was above average. The "Grandma's" pizza gets crushed by Bronx House down the street, though.If I find more 5-star-quality items on the menu, like the margarita pizza, will update this review. The personal-pizza pricing model always seems to end up being a little more expensive than normal, though.

Loved the pizza and the grille plate.Service and wine were also great, then what more can you ask for?

Great place to bring the boys to. Many of the usual dishes that are crowd pleasers. The lasagne balls and bread went down fast. The spicy shrimp spaghetti was delicious but wish there were more than five smallish shrimp. Orecchiette needed a little more red pepper but was solid .

Best Margarita pizza! Always delicious!

Just amazing pizza, great italian restaurant. A must visit.
