Sorpresive good place for some like Italian food, good pizza un a real wood oven with the most typical options. The gluten free... crush is excellent. There's a good variety of local and national beers and some internationals. The temperature of the beer isgood all the time. Nice place for depart with family a d friends. Just they close early, 9pm, including Fridays. Read more

Not a fancy place but great food and drink! Our pasta was hot and fresh. With that said we waited 30+ minutes before asking the... kitchen staff about our tiramisu and was surprised it was in a premade plastic container but it tasted great! It was orderedduring the big Friday rush so I get it. However, if someone decides to order a premade dessert it would be nice to have someonefrom the front tell someone in the kitchen about it so they can take care of it quickly, especially if they already ate.

Literally the worst pizza the wife and I have ever had. It was swimming in oil, as if someone had poured and entire bottle of... olive oil on it and let it sit to soak it all in. Not sure why they thought it would be good, but, it wasn't. Giving 2 starsbecause the service and location are amazing. The people are super... Maybe anything else would have been better, just, not thepizza. Read more

We found this place by chance. But it only took 1 bite of the food for us to fall in love with it. It's an adorable little place... with the absolute BEST Italian food I've ever tasted. The moment we walked in the door it was like stepping into old Italy. Ilove the atmosphere. It feels like you're really dinning in Italy. The staff is so sweet and friendly. They're dog friendly. Wehave a service dog. But they even have a patio where you can sit with your dogs. They'll give the dogs a bowl of water, and giveyour kids some chalk so they can draw on the patio. All you have to do is ask. We may have found it by chance, but it won't beby chance when we go back. And we will DEFINITELY be going back.... over and over again. So if you love Italian food this placeis an absolute must try. I promise you will love it. Bring your dogs. Bring your kids. Bring your family. Bring your friends.Bring your neighbors. They will all love this place. Read more

We stumbled upon this place even though a friend of ours told us about it. It is right across from the Moss Creek Preserve... entrance. I don't know if this is the front or back entrance to Moss Rock to be honest. You could easily enjoy a nice walk andthen enjoy lunch or dinner at this restaurant. There is plenty of parking and some require parallel parking ability. There aretables inside and outside along with a patio that allows dogs. You place your order once you enter and there is a good selectionof draft beers and a couple of wine taps. You can leave your tab open in case you want another draft beer. There are no fountaindrinks. Just bottle soda and a small selection of glass bottle sodas. We ordered a 16oz classic pepperoni and sat at table towait. There was a pretty good crowd being that it was 4:20 pm in the afternoon. It wasn't too long and we had our pizza. It wasgood and we'll definitely back to try other things like the garlic knots or the bruschetta and for pizza the Carnevale. Itlooked really good as we passed a couple sitting outside enjoying it as we made our way to the parking lot. Read more

As claimed it is a wood fried pizza in a roomy and shared table environment. Been there for the 1st time. Pizza Dough was fresh... and house made. Staff's were friendly. Service was great. We tried garlic knots as appetizers, but for some reason we couldn'tfind the garlic taste in it. But the knots were soft inside and crispy outside. Marinara sauce was fresh. If I'm right, it isalso house made. Best part of having pizza over here is, we don't feel fill like the Pizza chains. You feel light. Be of thiswe made 2nd order of pizza. Lol. Overall the 3 pizzas (Pesto chicken, Vegetable and Arrabiata) we had were delicious. They alsohave good beer collections both local and prominent market beers. The place has 3 entrances, 2 facing northwest and one facingnorth east. All are wheel chair accessable. The ambiance is like a sporty bar and grill. We can openly seen the pizzapreparation from dough making to firing the pizza. Real good place to spend 2 hours. I will definitely visit this place againand recommend others to try out. Read more

This place is a solid, authentic Italian pizza option. Of course I've never been to Italy but from what I've come to experience... thus far, this place is pretty authentic. The dough for crust is very thin but so good. They don't load the pizzas down withtoppings, which I've come to realize is an American thing, so if you want your pizzas piled high with toppings this may not beyour place but when you want to experience good quality ingredients and great flavor this is where you go.

Very good and unique pizzas. Pricing a bit high. Personable service. Relaxed atmosphere. Good place for the family around the... long wooden tables. Read more
