Another perfect date night @elro! The menu is definitely not “massive” but the quality & taste is absolutely “grand”. My husband and I love this gem!

Great atmosphere - neat design. But why no pasta on the menu? Only starters and pizza, even though it’s labeled “Italian restaurant”. Why not label “pizza restaurant”? Controversial opinion, but I find it misleading. Pizza tasted great though. And can also recommend the tuna on toast

This is a great spot for Italian inspired fair. I recommend starting with the shareables and having a mushroom pizza. Full alcohol bar on tap. Parking on the street and at a lot kitty corner across the street.
