"5+3 We were leaving the Kingdom Hall, looking for some place to eat on Wednesday night. We saw the lights on going down Sheridan road. So my wife said why don't we just stop and see if we can get some food to go. Really really nice place. Not quite finished yet, I believe there will be more big screens, a full-service bar, and a larger menu! The pizza we ordered, cheese and sausage, was very good! No complaints there, 16" of tastiness. And, I will mention the young lady Carla who made the pizzas for us late in the evening and serves the drinks at the bar, very classy and has a beautiful family. Stop in and chat get a drink leave a nice tip! Of course they have the slots, everybody seems to enjoy that. I don't gamble so the food is what gets my attention and the staff which are very nice. When everything is done, it'll be one of the nicer places in the area, actually it already is!"

"Walked in and was impressed by the decor, the service and the smell of delicious food. The guy working turned the stove back on after turning it off to make me and my girlfriend some of the best lasagna I’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back for more!"

"We enjoyed our lunch of soup, salad and sandwiches. Meatballs were good but a little pricey. We will go back to try other menu items."

"Awesome lasagna! The guy was willing to turn the ovens back on when we called in a late-night order. 10/10 service, 10/10 flavors, and 10/10 over all!"

"Enjoyed the food. I had the Gnocchi and 4 Meatballs. There was enough for two meals. Even though I enjoyed the food, I was disappointed because the Gnocchi was supposed to be in a vodka sauce, it was like a marinara sauce. I asked the gentleman about it, comparing it to other restaurants, he said that the other restaurants use cream in the sauce and they don’t. Sorry, then you shouldn’t say “Gnocchi in a vodka sauce”."

"I’ve ordered from here a few times. This is a much needed addition to the local food choices and is truly good Italian food. The menu is limited but so are most menus right now. The tomato salad should be just tomatoes mozzarella and basin with oil and vinegar but other than that the food has been delicious.I especially like all of their sandwiches."
