I want to start by saying I did not read any reviews before I picked the place, so I had no idea what to expect. The restaurant was small and tables were very close, making it extremely loud, plus it was very busy and hot. It was already packed when we got there for our 6:00 reservation and people just kept coming in behind us for their reservations as well. My husband and I got the focaccia and the buffala pizza to share. The food was quick and excellent! The servers were very busy, so it was difficult to get refills on our drinks and after the food came out, we didn’t see anyone again until I flagged them down for the check. Overall, the food was excellent and I would definitely go again, probably not on a Friday night though. There are many things on the menu I’d like to try and everything I saw when looking around looked great.
