    Great food as always except very disappointed with additional mushrooms in the pasta. Literally there were only small 5 mushrooms for extra $8. I would never order anything extra at this location. Otherwise food was very tasty as always, our server was very friendly. Thanks

    Had the Regina Margarita pizza and was very disappointed. Not at all tasty. Burnt crust. Soggy bottom. Service very good. Ambiance typical of this restaurant group - shabby chic. Would return but not order pizza.

    Menu was good for vegetarians which attracted us to this restaurant. Unfortunately the food quality was poor, pizzas were soggy and undercooked and pasta dish was served too cold. Service was acceptable. Restaurant is very noisy and has loud planes flying overhead. Seating was undercover outside, heated by patio heaters. Tables separated ok but chairs very uncomfortable. Not recommended.

    Some food was good. Some just ok. Salad and dinner came out at the same time so couldn’t have salad first. Waitress really never came by.

    Really suggest the Juna pizza - outstanding. The spicy honey might sound weird but it is subtle and adds an incredible twist to the pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. We also recommend a pasta dish with the Carbonara sauce, Shrimp, and Burrata - creamy deliciousness.

    Great pizza and service in a nice outdoor setting. Have been before and have not been let down. Parking can be a challenge if it's busy. We always make a reservation ahead which is easy to do and keeps us from having to wait.

    Wow! Their gluten free pizza crust is hand made on-site. The GF pizza was the best I've ever had. We'll be back.

    Great food. Service good. Not a lot of ambience. You’re basically sitting outside with plastic hanging from the edges to make it like there’s a wall. The place can be cold, but there are space heaters. I really like their gluten-free pizza. It’s excellent. It’s the best I’ve ever had. I’ve been here many many times. I keep coming back for the pizza.
