Love this tucked-away luncheonette! I tried the Chicken Caprese as it was a lunch special. So delicious and put together so nicely. I think this will be a sweet spot to meet friends for lunch!

This place should have 5 stars! It's atmospheric, clean and quiet. The staff are professional, kind and humble and the food? Absolutely incredible. THE best pizza in the area. The sauce is spectacular. I wish I could order a bigger pizza! and ALL the food is made to order and it's clearly made with love and passion.

The FOOD! What a delightful little place this is. Everything is made fresh to order, and what’s truly amazing is that they use the best quality ingredients. Italian flour and olive oil on the pizzas, which honestly may be the best I’ve ever eaten. We had friends go and they said that the chili was the best they had ever had. The eggplant parm and chicken and peas were both fantastic. A wonderful place with a wonderful staff who care about what they’re doing!
