There is no better pizza! This place has a great one, too!! Neighborhood Pub atmosphere. Clean and cozy. Staff was friendly. Now for the reason we won't go back. The parking lot is small and tight to navigate. That would still be fine. But, the parking lot is covered in some powdery white dusty substance. (No. It's not sand, Skippy) And the stuff sticks to your shoes until you get back in your car. Then, it gets on everything. It won't vacuum out, but comes out pretty easy if you wipe everything down with a wet towel. TWICE. There is a paved parking lot next door, at a beach store. But, you'd still have to walk through the stuff to get inside the restaurant and then back to your car. Maybe take a wet towel to wipe everybody's shoes? I don't know. But, the place is really good. We'll probably drive by every few months to see if maybe it was just some temporary issue that they are addressing. Until then, I recommend this restaurant, if you're staying at a condo within walking distance and your condo has one of those "rinse off" stations. Get the Margherita flatbread. You'll be impressed. If this place wasn't as outstanding as it was - this parking lot mess would have cost a lot more than the one star I subtracted.

When we go to the beach, we typically frequent seafood restaurants. Over the 4th of July weekend…read morerestaurants are so busy that we decided to diverge from the norm and try something different. We are so glad we did. So much so that we returned again before the end of our trip. The restaurant was quaint and service was very good, especially our first visit. Our top recommendation would be the lasagna which was the best I've ever had and so large that it easily feeds 2 people! The mushroom brochette and veal piccata were also delicious. Wine was excellent and so was the bread. We will be back.

The bread was very good and is probably top 5 as far as restaurants I have visited that offer complimentary bread. Insalata Mista - Good, nothing special or that sets it apart from other salad. The house dressing was good, leans more on the sweet side. Lasagna - The biggest portion of lasagna I have ever seen and ever received at a restaurant. The waitress said they call it the "Birthday Cake." Once it arrived at the table we understood why, it was almost the side of a birthday cake. The flavor was really good as well. It had a good amount of meat and cheese. It was not a lasagna that was made up of just noodle. Definitely worth ordering. If you're on a date or out with a friend, you could probably split the lasagna. Especially, if you order a salad , soup or appetizer. Spaghetti - It was good, nothing great but not bad either. If you like spaghetti & meatballs this will do the trick however, it won't blow your skirt up but you won't be upset either. Veal Piccata - Very good, I would order this if I went back. The veal cutlet was tender and contained crispy edges. The sauce was very good as well. The capers, lemon and wine were very well proportioned. Grilled Salmon - My Mother-in- Law ordered this and shared the following thoughts. Salmon was good however, the white bean salad that accompanied it was better. 7.5-8 out of 10 as far as the whole dish goes. Torta Savoia - Probably the worst thing we ordered. We all wanted chocolate, specifically chocolate cake. This really underwhelmed and did not satisfy the craving. The mood was a little gummy and didn't have that great of a mouth fill. Sometimes when mousse isn't made completely the correct way, gelatin will be used and occasionally overused. The cake itself wasn't that moist and the taste of chocolate really didn't hit you like it should have. Service - Our waitress was named Corrina. She was really sweet and very informative. Corrina was honest about the menu and suggestions. She was also very observant.

Our server was friendly and patient while we looked over the menu. However, service was rather slow and the restaurant wasn't really crowded. We weren't in a hurry so we waited patiently on our drinks and food. We each ordered our own small pizza since we wanted different toppings. She ordered the bacon cheeseburger pizza, I ordered the garden Alfredo pizza. Both pizzas were good, but I liked hers better. My toppings looked like they had been thrown on the pizza without regard to where they fell. We agreed that we had eaten better pizza but overall, it wasn't bad. The star of the evening was the chocolate chip brownie. We enjoyed this decadent dessert! The ambiance was cool and bustling and I could see it being family oriented, good for date night or a good spot to catch a game on tv. I would return on a future visit to the area if I were in the mood for pizza. Try them out. Happy Eating!
