We dropped in for a quick appetizer and drink before the show. The appetizer was outstanding, and the variety of beers and wines was remarkable. The service was attentive, which enhanced our experience. The restaurant has a lovely and cozy ambiance. I would definitely come back for the pizza!

Overall, everything was great, but there was an unpleasant sewer smell in the restaurant.

I really love this restaurant! We've been there several times, and the happy hour is amazing, offered every day. Our favorite dish is the fennel sausage pizza, and every appetizer we've sampled has been delightful.

The pizza here is some of the best I've had in a long time. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was sweating quite a bit! Did they even have the air conditioning on?

The waitress was very friendly, but I was disappointed with the baked ricotta portion—it was too small for the $15 price and only came with a couple of cherry tomatoes and half a slice of eggplant. My Margherita pizza was just average, and the crust was a bit burnt around the edges, which took away from my overall experience. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, you might want to consider other options.
