We arrived just before the dinner rush, which gave us the chance to soak in the retro charm of the space—vintage touches wrapped in a warm, happy vibe. From the start, the staff were not only professional, but genuinely joyful. There was a rhythm to the service—efficient yet never rushed. In fact, we had to ask for a little extra time on our appetizers, just to slow down and savor every bite. Parker was aware and attentive but not intrusive. The crisp and tender calamari was a standout from the first bite. And the lamb meatballs—paired with stone-oven baked pita—were rich, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. This is the kind of place you want to come back to—again and again—and we absolutely will.

Celebrated my birthday with some friends here and had a great time. Service was awesome, our waitress was attentive, and on top of it. The food was okay, just decent. I do wish we could hear the music more, it wasn't loud enough to drown out the table next to us.

The martinis and appetizers were good. The entrees were not good. Steak was dry and flavorless. It was extremely hot in the restaurant. The staff allowed us to switch tables to a cooler spot in the restaurant.

I really liked this place. The food was excellent. We had the Prosciutto pizza which was very good and the carbonara type of pasta which was excellent. The only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is a couple of things. First we ordered the onion dip appetizer which was very good, but as always there wasn’t enough bread to finish the dip. SO MANY restaurants are starting to do this. It’s so annoying and disheartening. They know you will need more bread to finish and then provide you more bread to finish the dip as you request. Then you see a $4.50 extra charge. Other restaurants do this stuff and it’s really really annoying and wrong. I’m not asking for extra food for free I just want the food I paid for to finish the dip. STOP with this!! It makes me want to never come back. Then if someone requests jalapeños on their pizza, Use FRESH jalapenos, not pickled ones from a jar. Jalapeños should be cut fresh for pizza, this isn’t nachos. Just my personal 2 cents. Overall a great place, I wish these places just did these little things better. A hidden gem. Please to ALL restaurants, STOP charging extra for required items needed to finish an appetizer you already paid a lot of money for!!
