Our 1st dining experience here and it was perfect thruout from hostess greeting to food prep/quality and service. Hidden gem, great bistro ambiance. Reluctant to rate so highly as I want to keep this treasure from noisy, obnoxious crowds BUT have to rate honestly. This venue is a Home Run in any ballpark!

Great pizza, as always. The usual outstanding standard of service was, however, lacking. The usual wonderful and pleasant female servers were not present and the male replacements just were not up to par. Overall, however, the meal was great with the thin crust pizza stealing the spotlight!

We had three different kinds of pizza, and a salad with an arugula base. Pizzas are always excellent at this restaurant, particularly if you like thin crust and our visit there last night was no exception. The waitstaff are always friendly and attentive. The sea salt and caramel gelato dessert, which is more like an ice cream, form day, delightful, and to an excellent evening

If you are looking for truly outstanding thin crust pizza, this is the place to go! We have been here many times and have never been anything but completely satisfied. The meatballs in marinara sauce are also outstanding as is the salted caramel ice cream for dessert. Our waitress has always been outstanding. I sense this place is a well kept secret for locals…
