We visited last week during a rainy day, and the open doors made the restaurant feel a bit wet and messy and smell funky. The service was good, which we appreciated! The pizza wasn’t quite what we expected—the Margherita pizza had an olive oil base that gave it a flavor we didn’t love more fishy and drenched in olive oil, and the crust was thicker than our preference. The restaurant looks cute in photos, but our experience didn’t quite match the hype. Others seem to really enjoy it though, a little more expensive than other pizza places we had went to.
Our waitress was great! We left full and satisfied. It was within walking distance from our hotel.
Got the fettuccine Alfredo pasta and customized Alfredo pizza. Everything was super delicious. Our waitress was so kind and attentive. I’m surprised this place wasn’t busy and received our food so fast.
The variety of pizza here is unparalleled. After all of my travels in and out of the United States, I have never come across a variety of toppings, crust styles, and fantastic combination pizzas. The outside atmosphere is wonderful, no bugs, plenty of shade, almost grotto like. The music really seals the deal completing an easy Italian experience while maintaining a genuine relaxing nature. Kid friendly, my children are over ten so I am sure my experience would differ from under ten kid families. However, if you come during a time the wait staff can focus on you they genuinely care about your experience and are very kind. Recommend the kitchen sink, seafood pizza, or the sweet and spicy pizza for a first try. The appetizer we chose was the cheesy garlic bread, they make the bread here so it's fantastic and fresh. Dessert, wow, the chocolate pizza really doesn't do justice for what you get. It's perfect balance of sweet and savory satisfies that chocolate craving without killing you with over rich flavor and sweetness. This will go in my top ten ever!
