This is my new favorite spot! I’ve driven by so many times and never stopped in. I wish I would have been here years ago. Get the duo carne pizza and the pork sandwich is top notch.

Nasty, inedible food, would not feed to dogs. Ordered eggplant parm which looked like throw up thrown in a container, not even half full. Also ordered fried calamari which reeked of fish and tasted worse than rubber. I would consider myself very lucky to not get food poisoning from this establishment. After 2 bites all got thrown out. Expensive meal too, with no side bread, side dish, or side salad given.

We just picked up curbside takeout. We ordered smoked wings and brisket. It came with baked beans, potato salad and corn bread. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. Great flavors and tender meat. I drove 35 minutes to get it and I would probably drive an hour. Support our local businesses. They all need us.

Awesome food in a rustic Tuscan setting. The grilled cheese with tomato bisque was amazing. The mussels and pork sandwich were delicious too! Also the gelato was a perfect ending to our meal.

Fantastic little place! My boyfriend and I went here for our 6 year anniversary and everything was amazing! Our server Beth was so nice and accommodating and extremely personable, we had a great time chatting. The food was amazing I had the meat special which was a strip steak with a fig glaze and oh man was it good can’t discredit the chefs here either from the appetizers to the desserts it was all delicious!! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice night out with some great food a service.
