I was a bit disappointed to see that they have been cutting back on some of the features that originally made it a worthwhile stop. They have stopped serving their brewed coffee and gelato, which was a letdown. Additionally, for an Italian menu, they no longer offer real olive oil. On the bright side, the menu is still good, and the service was prompt.

The pizza was delicious, though the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during our visit as they were handling a large crowd. read more The pizza was delicious, though the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed during our visit as they were handling a large crowd.

I like the wings, pizza and house salad with grilled chicken. I was told that management made a decision (due to time constraints of taking 2 min longer) to only serve cold chicken on the salads. We can no longer order it hot. Who likes coldchicken? That's a disappointment. I still love the place.

My favorite thing to order is the pizza margarita and the tomato and burrata salad without the croutons. Delicious!! Unfortunately, some of the staff mademe feel extremely uncomfortable the last couple of times Ive been in there due to my emotional support animal. I don?tappreciate being told every single time I come in there how I?m supposed to behave with my esa. I?ve had him for several yearsand know the laws and rules. I can understand maybe the first time I come in it might be a new experience for them, but afterit?s clear I?m a regular, I would?ve expected them to stop policing me and my dog like I don?t know what I?m doing. It?s notnecessary for 3 different people to come educate me on how my dog has to be on the floor while I am eating my meal and my dog iscalmly sitting or laying down on the floor. Otherwise, the food is quite tasty. I recommend more staff training on how totreat people that come in with unusual circumstances, like having a support or service animal.
