The bread before the meal was soft and warm, better than most Italian restaurants. The pizza had a light crust with plenty of toppings. Leave room for an excellent dessert; we had their specialty: Lisa's buns. Arianna took care of our table with awonderful smile.

They were clearly understaffed. Our waitress was very nice but had been forced into double duty as the hostess at the front door too. We weren't acknowledged at our table for 15 minutes after sitting down, then it took another 15 to get our beverages. Theplace was not busy but from what I could tell there were 2 waitresses total, including ours that was also having to do hostessduties. If there was a manager present, they should have been hosting... Unless they were cooking lol. Again, not blaming thefolks we saw working, for all we know 2 or 3 people called in sick or something. But at the same time, in all honesty, we didnot have a good experience. The food was decent but not great and definitely not worth what we paid. On a positive note, therestaurant atmosphere and ambiance were great. They need some nice comfy chairs for the huge front porch, tons of wasted spaceout there.
