Out of this world pasta and portion sizes. So heavy it made the price feel like a 2 for 1 meal. A bottle of wine for 28 bucks was a rare find as well. Build your own pasta is fun and they let you add anything you want….thats service!

Food was good with the exception of the spinach in my dish which was very pungent, tasted as if it wasn't washed and blanched properly. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but in my opinion if you're going to charge me $6 for a domestic draft beer during lunch, at least give a pint not 12oz.

Bridgette was our server, she was great. Very kind, attentive and authentic. The chicken parmesan was amazing, the eggplant rollitini was crispy and savory. The meal was well packed, well priced and such a good value! The marinara and sauces were on point. Just enough salt that the tomato is elevated and the sweet notes shine through. Was too full for dessert! I recommend this local place, it's a gem.

Bartenders and staff were wonderful! Had a couple of drinks and got food to go. Gotta try the wings! They have a coating on them and got a dry rub! Like fried chicken my great aunt made! Thank you for a great afternoon!!!

We came here for lunch and sat outside on their patio. The waitress was very nice and brought us waters immediately. I had the cauliflower crust pizza and a small chopped Greek salad. My buddy had a chicken parm grinder. I have to say they cooked the crust really well and it was better than I had expected. It was very small and that's normally the size of that kind of item. My salad was quote tasty and I wish I had ordered the large. My buddy seemed to enjoy his sub and it looked very small to me. The prices are very reasonable and they are quick and efficient. Great work.
