Was Magnolia Grant at Michael's a mag?
This was a great, local place. The food was plentiful and tasty. I had the Italian Beef. It doesn't have a lot of flavor, but was perfectly toasted. Great as a leftover as I couldn't eat it all. We'll stop again. View all feedback.

The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. I have a bacon chicken pizzeria. My 10 months old son flirted with the staff and got a free breadstick! Very recommended!

Surprisingly, really good pizza for a small Italian restaurant. I'm glad we made the trip. Plan to come back sometime. I think I'm in love with the chicken bacon Alfredo Pizza... also great crust!

My friend and I are new in the area as we recently pulled out of Iowa City and stopped for lunch on a day. The service was fast and the food was great (we both ordered the 5th Avenue Sandwich with Pasta Salat Page--SO good). We chat with whom I suspect was the owner's wife, although I'm not sure. She was super friendly and eager to meet us. We will definitely come back!

Big tuna salad. I'm gluten-sensitive and had no problems. The staff was polite, the service was fast, the food came fast. In any case, all the real little town had charm.
