“Nice place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 13, 2012

They have fresh food for a decent price. Salads appear to be made fresh daily and their entres arae equally as well-prepared with decent, fresh ingredients. Nice menu and assortment of items as well.
Service is also really good.

Nice place for a decent lunch!

“Great Italian Food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 28, 2012

This restaurant has great lasagna and Penna pasta with blackened chicken. If you can go during happy hour, they have great beer and drink specials from 5 to 7 PM. It is a smaller dining area so there is sometimes a wait. They do have a small bar area where you can wait for your table. Over all this is a good restaurant if you are craving Italian.

“Good food, but a bit noisy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

Located in a shopping strip so it doesn't look like much, but the food is excellent. We've had pizza, sandwiches, and entrees and all were delicious. Try the fish tacos, you won't be disappointed. The service is spotty, depending on your server, but it seems to improve a bit each time. The owner clearly is interested and involved, and often stops by tables to check on customer satisfaction. My only "con" is the noise level. The restaurant is popular and can become very noisy when full. This is exacerbated by people trying to talk above the noise, thus making it worse. Most times I've been, at least one very large party was gathered here also, and they were the biggest contributors to the problem, shouting down the length of their table. Having said that, I still eat here because the food is worth it. Seriously, ask for the fish tacos even if you don't see it on the menu.

“Have actually visited a few times”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2012

I've been here alone and with the wife at least three times now. Overall not a bad place at all with very good hot wings if they cook them crispy and decent pizza. The place is nicely decorated and the employees are nice and professional. Don't ever eat here during a football game. The yelling from the very close/open bar made our experience less than desirable. There was no where we could move to get away from it. The server apologized and I learned a lesson. Will probably go back again.

I rated the atmosphere below at above average but this does not include the day we were there and the game was on at the bar.
