We thought to go there again for a quick bite, preferring it over another good option based on memory and reviews. We found the place to have no clear identity. There are at least 3 different styles of decorations. There is one room that is not clear if it's a warehouse or what. The bathroom is quite essential, so to say. The pizza was not bad but it felt like something bought in a supermarket. The dough must have pressed with a machine losing all the charm and texture of being stretched by hand. The ingredients were not flavorsome (even if the buffalo mozzarella tasted like buffalo mozzarella, which is not to be taken for granted). The drink options are very limited, with only 4 soft drinks available.

The portion sizes were perfect, and every bite of food was delicious, especially the homemade lasagne, which was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend dining here and look forward to returning soon.
