We visited on a Friday evening, and the restaurant was packed! Despite the crowd, the service was efficient, and our server, Victor, was fantastic. The food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. The prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered an appetizer, a salad, a pizza to share, and a dessert to take home—all for under $80. Great value for the experience!

ii) Steve Bintley: 5/5 (⭐⭐⭐⭐☆) (04-06-2025)
I left this Italian restaurant very impressed. From the outside, it seems traditional, but inside, it’s surprisingly spacious—our table was in the rear section, and it felt like the tables just kept going. Although the service started off a bit slow, it quickly became friendly and efficient. The decor had a cozy, authentic vibe, and it was nice to see both locals and tourists dining.
The menu offered all the classic Italian dishes you’d expect, and the thin-crust pizza was absolutely delicious. The pasta dish had plenty of prawns, and the cheesecake, though dense, was a satisfying finish. The espresso martini was spot on.
With its warm decor and inviting atmosphere, I would definitely recommend this place. It’s an excellent choice for anyone craving a true Italian meal in the area.
