    Decided to have apps for dinner. The Brussels Sprouts salad was a beautiful medley of flavors. And the meatballs were some of the best I’ve ever had, tender and flavorful!

    Exxxxxcellent everything! The sweet pea salad was as good as the pizza. So delicious! Luxuriously creamy and refreshing at the same time. Addictive! The pizza is always perfect pizza. Toppings, seasonings are balanced and satisfying. It’s my favorite mushroom pizza among my faves. Love the outdoor stop and the music. Always sincere, experienced, top notch service. We love the homage red box of spices at the table.
