I ordered the Gnocchi special, which came with a delicious tomato sauce, salami, and olives. I also tried the Gamberi prawn pizza, which was decent but the base was a bit tough and the crust too crunchy. The prawn tails were left on the pizza, making it a bit of a hassle to peel them with every bite. At $30+ per person for pizza and pasta, I was disappointed with the food overall. However, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive, which was a positive aspect of our experience.

The service was efficient and prompt, earning a rating of 4 out of 5. The atmosphere in the restaurant left something to be desired, with intrusive music and poor lighting, scoring only a 2 out of 5. However, the food was a pleasant surprise. The Chicken Parmigiana was slightly overcooked, but still enjoyable overall. The Chicken Valentino, on the other hand, was cooked to perfection, with juicy chicken and a delicious creamy mushroom sauce. The Hawaiian Pizza was a hit, with the only downside being that the ham was a bit too salty. Despite this, the flavors of the wood-fired pizza shone through. For the prices charged, the food was of good value, earning a rating of 4 out of 5. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant, as the overall experience dining with friends or family was enjoyable.

It was especially frustrating because the pizza I received didn't align with my dietary needs. This isn't the first time this has occurred, it has happened before, but I have never brought it up until now.

The girl I spoke to on the phone was very rude and messed up my order. Won't be back anytime soon

Very pricey and confusing rates. In dine is very pricey. Not really worth it. Not many people visit this place because of this. Staff is very courteous. read more Very pricey and confusing rates.
