We were a group of 4. Two ordered risotto and pizza ordered were very good. 2 of us split appetizers for dinner. The one appetizer was mussels. They were all open but smell terribly fishy and were mushy. We sent them back. The second appetizer was breaded calamari. Not bad, just ok, however, there were slices of chorizo sausage beneath the calamari that were over cooked and very dry. One of the group ordered the cherry upside down cake. Very boring, bland, a huge disappointment and definitely not worth the $11 charge. The waitress we had was wonderful and tried to accommodate our concerns to the best that she was permitted. We will not be returning to this location again.

Server didn’t seem prepared (though was nice). Was confused why people sitting outdoors had fries as an option to est but we were only told there were pizza and salads? Little weird ans i wish we had been told in advance there’s a reduced Sunday menu.

Our server was exceptional. Carolina helped us with our options being plant based. She was very kind and cheerful. Loved the restaurant decor. One recommendation is to have the restroom mirrors lowered. More plant based menu options would be nice.

On every trip to Hamilton, I make a point of coming here. Nice, classic dishes, easily recognizable with an innovative, light touch. In addition to the pizzas, the salads are great. Even the grilled salmon with the Buddha Bowl (usually just an "add-on" in most restaurants) was thoughtfully prepared. Great service. Our server last time (Kyle, I think) was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind.
