My first time back here since the remodel. The coziness of the place is gone, but I did enjoy my time and dinner there. I had the chicken parm. It was 9/10 in my book! Garlic bread was cooked perfectly too!

Was there on Saturday 03/08/25. It was my first time in any Italian restaurant. I am a vegetarian. Although i had 1-2 option to eat as a vegetarian but my friend who was non vegetarian ate fish food and other. I was with salad and i dnt know something italian which was so tasty. People there were so friendly and helpful. Will definately go back again.
