    The ambience was great—warm, cozy, and inviting, making it a nice place to spend the evening. We visited on a Saturday night, so we expected it to be busy. However, even after the crowd started thinning out, the wait time for our food was still quite long, which was a bit disappointing. When the food arrived, the garlic bread did not meet our expectations, as it lacked the rich garlic flavor we were hoping for. On a positive note, the Alfredo pasta was truly delicious—creamy, well-seasoned, and definitely the highlight of the meal. Overall, the experience was average. While the ambience and pasta stood out, the service delay and some food items could definitely be improved.

    Initially due to the 3.9 stars I was hesitant coming here. We were a group of 7 ladies that brought me here for my birthday dinner. I ordered a made to order calzone. Hands down the BEST calzone I have ever had in my lifetime! Very flavorful, not greasy or soggy, made to perfection!!!!!! All the other in my group loved their food as well. I just had to review them since I have never ever had such an amzing calzone before!!!!

    We were greeted by a hostess with a very unhappy face. The staff also walks around with unhappy faces, although our waiter Louis tried to smile and was generally not bad. We liked the cuisine, and all the dishes we ordered were delicious. The service is slow.

    The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was decent as well but the waiter was unfriendly and got our order wrong. Nobody wants to eat at a restaurant when you don’t feel welcome. Smile for Pete’s sake.

    Came here after a walk on the beach and had a snack. The pizza here is good and appetizing. The calamari was a hit. Really nice place.
