What took us so long to visit this restaurant! It is small with a lovely indoor seating area, but we opted to eat outside. The outside area is small, but on lovely nights it is nice to have the light breeze.

We ordered 2 pizzas (The Diavola and The Norcina) and they tasted so good. Wood burning fire place just makes the difference. The red pizza sauce has great flavour, and the pizza crust was great! Near the centre of the pizza it is a lot softer, but did not bother me at all.

The pasta bolognaise was also delicious. They do not skimp on the meat or flavour like other places. And the pasta was cooked ever so slightly above al dente. They also bring fresh parmesan and fresh pepper table side in case you want some.

We also had the panna cotta for dessert with a drizzle of caramel. A light dessert to end the meal.

My only suggestions would be (if I am being picky)

1. The bread, although fresh, you can tell it was sliced and sitting out a bit

2. The spices oil for the pizza was clogged so nothing really came out, and what did was very bland.

Definitely still worth the stars! A very enjoyable evening and meal!

The food was delicious, the staff were attentive and friendly. We had the lasagna and the spinach ravioli, and the cheesecake with raspberry and mango sauce for dessert. Delicious and in a quiet, pleasant location. A hidden gem!

Really nice place. The food was good. The service was also really good. But if you expect something extraordinary - do not.

If you can make it for the Weekend Brunch (12-4pm) by all means do so. The Steak & Eggs were well presented and tasty. The service was excellent. They also have a cocktail called COVID Vaccine (the FDA may not have given it Emergency Use Authorization but I did for myself).

With fine desserts like Panna Cotta and Wood Fired Pizza available, children can enjoy coming here as much as adults.
