I have been twicet, once alone seated in the window seats facing out to the street - pretty good for people watching and once with a friend. Both times, great pizza, cant say I have tried anything else except the pizzas, they are divine. The staff are really friendly and we had an issue with our credit card and staff... More

Best Gourmet Pizzas around and lots more other food choices. The dragon looks super hot and cooks the most fabulous pizzas

This restaurant has a lot of atmosphere so not great for a quiet romantic night out but you will be guaranteed tasty food, friendly efficient service and reasonable prices. Gluten free catered for along with any other dietary requirements they try to accomodate.

We always have a number of vegetarian options and gluten free bases are quite popular. These options are highly sort after. Romantic evenings .... yes we can provide that .... try us on a Monday or Wednesday night when it's not quite so hectic. We'll make it a night to remember ! More

We visited this restaurant on a recent visit to Lismore and it was one of the few that was actually open on a Monday. Great casual dining place with good selection on the menu and reasonably priced and good serving size too. Had the warm breads with trio of housemade dips for entree and it was a generous serving and... More

The meal is quite expensive for Lismore area. We waited quite long for our meal and no staff was bothering to check on us.

My apologies Ted if you had an extended wait. Certainly not our intention however we do get extremely busy at times which can cause delays. We do our very best to ensure that prices are kept affordable (and I believe that they are) but I will certainly take on board your comments. More

We visited the restaurant twice on our stay in Lismore. It's got a great menu, the food is well priced and a good casual atmosphere. I loved the salad too!

Although the food and service were good the decor really let this place down. It needs a bit of a face lift to make it look more modern. While we were there we also saw a cockroach on the floor!

Amazing woodfired pizza !!, thanks so much for the compliment. Our restaurant is casual and layed back, a place to relax and be enjoyed by our many customers. Extended and renovated just 2 years ago, but keeping with it's original style and character, the vast majority love it just as it is but I will certainly take your comments on... More

Great food and atmosphere; very good pizza, but it's more than a pizza place. Bookings may be needed. The stuffed mushrooms are the best.

Definatly a different eating experience. Very tasty if pricey $$$ for Lismore. More a 'special event occasion' than just eating out. Always book ahead and if you don't enjoy a 'child friendly' evening look at alternatives. Expect to take most of the evening between ordering and paying your bill. Staff are friendly and fussy which I liked.
