Their Gluten Free pizza is amazing!!! Went to order it on door dash and it wasn't showing up so I called the restaurant and spoke to Emily and she went above and beyond to get me my gluten free pizza. Second time we've ordered from them and both times its been fantastic!! Even better when the customer Service rocks!!

Dinner on the patio is best here as indoors is a bit too noisy. Excellent cocktails; Pear Vino was fab! 🤩 Portions are generous the half order of the centro salad was enough for 2! Chicken Saltimbocca was tasty good and they did it gluten free with green beans. I'll be back for another evening on the patio!

I haven't been here in years! It's still just as great as I remember! We sat in the main dining area the first time in 2021 and tonight we sat in a bar side booth. Service was impeccable both times. And, the food was again flawless. I had the Shrimp Amaggio tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I can see why this is a popular choice. We also had the Hungry Man and the steak was seasoned and cooked PERFECTLY! We finished with their seasonal maple bourbon streusel cheesecake. A perfect end to a perfect night! They even boxed everything up for us. I love the homey feel of the place. Obviously, they get a lot of regulars. For good reason! There are also gluten-free, dairy-free, and Vegan options for those concerned. 10/10.

Amazing pizza! My family raves about this place so I thought I’d give it a try while I was in town visiting. They had gluten free options which was a plus! And they use Graziano sausage! Yummy!

On a Monday night our waitress was great. Was dining with friend with celiac disease and they were amazingly accommodating. The mushrooms were excellent. And the drinks were strong but not over the top.

Better than frozen, less expensive than delivery, fresher than grocery stores, and made to order while you watch, or call ahead and they will have it waiting for you to pick up. Bake it at home for hot from the oven in 12 - 40 minutes depending on the type of pizza you order and how crispy you want your crust. Or you can refrigerate it to prepare later. Crust options include thin, original, pan, gluten free, stuffed double crust, or Keto crustless! A wide variety of toppings and sauce options. Also salads, sodas, chocolate chip cookie dough (for baking), and desert pizzas.
