First time here and we love their pizza! Mom and pop type restaurant. I can eat their pizza cold which really says something. I’m craving it now but can’t do it right now. Grrr lol

Was so excited to try their food but it didn’t turn out the way I hoped. Their bread was AMAZING but that was about it. Chicken marsala looks great but sauce tastes like brown gravy. Chicken parmesan was good but not great for what you pay. Was so hoping this would be great Italian food but didn’t find it here. Service was great!

The search for pizza is always on and this place has taken the number 1 spot! The restraint is clean, lively and smells like heaven. The staff is family and so kind and attentive. We started with the meatballs and ricotta with a side sausage, then had the 18” pie. The pie was perfect! Thin, crispy, tomato sauce reminiscent of home and hot bubbly cheese. The only flaw was the meatballs, they were super dense and cold ricotta put on them made the whole dish room temperature. We will be back, and next time will try some of the Italian entrees. Highly recommend

My husband and I wanted to get some pizza and this restaurant was highly recommended. We ordered two small pizzas, thinking this would be perfect enough for each of us. They were literally mini sizes and we paid $13 for one and $14 for the other one and to say we were disappointed is and understatement. This will not only not fill us but we feel we wasted our money. We will not be going back. We are so very disappointed!!

My husband and I are new to the area and are so excited that we found this place. Excellent pizza and friendly staff! We got a Neapolitan and a Neapolitan with meatball on a to-go order. It was absolutely delicious. My family visiting from NJ loved it! We will definitely be back.

I came here because of the good reviews, but those good reviews were apparently for the pizza only! I ordered one soda, one adult chicken parmigiana, 1 adult chicken Alfredo, 1 child slice of pizza, and two children’s spaghetti and meatballs and it cost $90 without tip. They also already added the credit card service fee even though I paid in cash, which should be totaled in after knowing what form of payment is being used. My 8yo liked the pizza, but complained she was still hungry because the slice was so small (expected a bigger slice when paying $10 for a kid’s meal). The Alfredo sauce and pomodoro sauces were bland. The spaghetti and meatballs were hardly eaten and the kids did not take more than one bite of the meatball because it was that bad. I don’t mind paying $90 for a meal if the food is good, but unfortunately this was far from good! I would not recommend this place at all unless maybe getting a pizza, but I can’t speak for that since I didn’t have any. And yes, I have had Italian food in Italy, for those of you thinking I’m complaining because the food tastes nothing like American Italian food and more of an authentic Italian…that is not the case either!

We ordered a number of the New York style pizzas and Sicilian pizza with some appetizers for our daughter’s birthday party. They were very accommodating and everything was just as delicious as when we’ve eaten in the restaurant. We will continue to visit this local gem! Thank you for providing authentic italian cuisine to the area.

Penne with broccoli is a simple dish. The penne was hard like it had been precooked, then left on the stove and then dressed with the olive oils and garlic.

This is one of the best pizza restaurants in the Columbia and Lexington surrounding area. It’s a little pricey but, thats because they use quality ingredients. The cannolli’s are my favorite. They are made fresh and you can tell. 5 stars for sure!
