My new favorite spot for Italian! If you’re looking for an amazing Italian restaurant with delicious pizza and dessert, this place is a must-visit! The pizza is perfection—thin, crispy crust with just the right amount of chew, topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients that bring out authentic Italian flavors. And don’t even get me started on dessert! The tiramisu is light, creamy, and perfectly balanced Every bite feels like a little trip to Italy.

My new favorite spot for Italian! The Chicken Marsala is THE best. Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Get the bread pudding! Heads up, there is usually a wait at dinner times so call ahead if you can to be put on the list!

We had a fairly large group for lunch. The service was excellent and we ate outside on a beautiful, sunny day. They cut on the fans but we actually had a lovely breeze. The food was delicious with a large portion which gives me an additional meal. I had the daily special which was halibut with pasta salad. #LocalGuide #LetsGuide

Our server was super kind, attentive & helpful with allergy questions. They have gluten free pasta (boiled in separate water) as well as gluten free pizza (baked separately and on a pan). So helpful for highly allergic/celiac people. Love this place! Can’t wait to go back.

We ordered For app...artisan bread For dinner...Pepperoni pizza with hot honey Linguine with meatballs Pasta with seasonal veggies And the half Simone salad It was absolutely delicious. The only reason we didn’t take our leftovers was because we were heading back to Nashville Tn the next day.

Loved this entire experience! The service was outstanding. She also served as the bartender as well and was very attentive to everyone she was serving. The food was outstanding! I had the truffle fries and they were the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was on the upper scale side but not-at-all stuffy. I highly recommend!!
