This is such a cute, cozy neighborhood spot. The food was great, they had someone playing guitar which was lovely. My parents are very picky but I would bring them here b/c the food is good especially for the price. Drinks are good as well. I will definitely be coming back here.

The food was awesome, but the real star was the Grandma pizza pie. Crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of cheesy goodness! Overall chill vibe, nice staff, and definitely a spot we’ll be hitting up more often.

We went on a Saturday night based on a recommendation from a dear friend, and it did not disappoint! The burrata and tomato appetizer was excellent, and I had one of my favorite meals: Paillard di Pollo—chicken paillard served with sautéed mixed vegetables in garlic and oil. My wife had the Salmone alla Griglia—grilled salmon with a side of creamy green peppercorn sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly, with high-quality ingredients and great flavor. Although we were in a bit of a hurry, the desserts looked absolutely delicious—especially the homemade cheesecake and tiramisu. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner. It has a wonderful atmosphere and vibe, and it’s easy to reach by ferry or mass transit and driving.We’ll definitely be back—it’s now on our list of go-to places for a good meal. Fair prices, excellent service, and a warm, friendly owner who is a fantastic host. Thank you again—we look forward to our next visit!

Lovely people work here and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was yummy. Only small issue was that our table was no where near ready in the dining room and besides it was super noisy in there so we chose to sit in the pizza take out, quick eat area.

This place amazed me. The food was amazing. We went for lunch but the chef was kind enough to still make the octopus for us and it was GREAT. From the appetizers to the main course was finger licking good. The tiramisu was great!!!
