    WE ate a mix of pastas and pizza meals for our table. All were enjoyable. Booked an outside table but this was given away before we arrived! We were seated inside which is incredibly noisy and stuffy if the restaurant is full. Eventually after much fussing we were moved into the courtyard which was comfortable. Waiter was pleasant. Experience overall average.

    Great place for pizza. A busy Monday evening so it will as loud but the service and food were excellent. Luke was our waiter and he was busy checking on us regularly. An enjoyable evening for a leisurely dinner.
