I personally prefer my Hawaiian pizza to be barbecue based, and the ricotta pizza had very little spinach. We were hoping for more spinach. I think the wood fire base/crust was good, but I would recommend different toppings for the personal size to mix well with the wood fire taste. Service was pretty good, and thankfully we were able to get seated right away. The outside area looked nice. I did wish they were playing some music inside! It was Valentine's Day so some music would have been a nice ambiance.

On June 25 I am booked for the White Dinner. Patrons are asked to wear all white. My friend and I have our wardrobes ready and look forward to enjoying a complimentary Limoncello Gelato after our Mediterranean meal. Oh, don't miss their soups: all are delicious but straciatella remains my favorite. The service is excellent. "Brava" Marzia and staff. Next door is Fresco, their Italian market. Gelato + ice cream, pastries, sandwiches are fresh. Shelves are stocked with imported jars of vegetables and sauces, boxed amaretto cookies, and stalks of dried oregano. Don't miss the wine cellar.

The reason I did not give five stars is because we almost left before even getting served because it took a long time for anyone to come over to us. (10+ minutes). Their beer menu could use a few good draft beers on it as well. With that said, the service and food was great and we will return!

We ordered an extra large pizza: half Meatball Marinara and half Chicken Bacon Alfredo. We asked for extra Ingredients on the Meatball: black olives and broccoli. We also ordered antipasto plate. When the pizza arrived the extra ingredients were missing on the meatball and the Alfredo had no bacon in it. We informed Andrea our server (who was fantastic and very sweet). She graciously removed the extra charge on our bill. The Meatball pizza was okay, but didn't have enough meat or sauce, imho. The Alfredo however was great with lots of chicken! Antipasto was fresh, tasty with generous portions. They also had one of my favorite beers on tap: Jeungling. We enjoyed the evening and will return.

We were quickly seated and ordered drinks. A few minutes later we ordered a Greek salad to share (huge), garlic knots (lots), one meatball, eggplant rollatini , and veal franchise with spaghetti. I was served veal parmigiana instead but it looked good so I decided not to send it back. All the food was delicious with plenty left over for another meal. There were some changes to the restaurant with separate doors for dine in and takeout. But all in all we have to say we will be back.
