First off, it has a great vibe inside with large booths, a bar, and then on the other side more of a dining vibe, and an outdoor patio. I went on a Saturday night around 6:45 and there was plenty of seating available. We started with some complimentary focaccia with olive oil and balsamic, and then I ordered the cheese and spinach ravioli, that comes with a small side salad. My friend ordered the chicken Parmesan and I highly recommend. That one also comes with a baby side salad as well as broccolini and a small portion of delicious fettuccini Alfredo. It was quite the meal. We finished dinner with one of the best pieces of tiramisu I've ever had. The portion was huge, enough to have some left over for later. I wish I could remember our server's name...she was wonderful! Super friendly and helpful. She also gave great recommendations on what to order. Looking forward to coming back soon!

It came with a small bed of cubed, fried potatoes and lemon cream sauce. The person next to me had the spaghetti bolognese and that looked delicious. It was full of meat. The teramisu was also very good but I forgot to take a picture. The meeting/dining opened to an ocean view in the back so it was nice and breezy.

The place was absolutely packed, with tons of people waiting for tables, which says a lot about how good their pizza is. Despite how busy they were, the team kept things moving and took great care of everyone. I even joked with the owner, who was hustling nonstop taking care of customers, "Wow, my Yelp review must have brought in all these customers!" (Just kidding, of course!) Hats off to this incredible pizza place. The pizza was as delicious as ever, and it's great to see a local favorite getting the love it deserves. Highly recommend!

Our table tried the bread basket, calamari, pizza (pineapple and pear/burrata), braised short ribs and the standout for me was the gamberoni! If you enjoy shrimp/ seafood in general, this is a dish to try. The pasta was thick, chewy and filling. The sauce was rich, earthy and flavorful. The shrimp (4 huge ones) were juicy and perfectly cooked. Our server recommended the dish and said they tasted like lobster - he was not wrong! I enjoyed my mocktail (like a pina colada), and the kids had blueberry & passion fruit lemonade. Finished off with lemon sorbet. Delightfully sweet and refreshing!

My husband got the Tagliata toast which had a nice steak portion. The goat cheese and onions balance out perfectly. We add a side of berries to make a sort of "winter salad" which was a nice add to the toast. They have tons of wine options and I typically just order the house white for a nice bottle. Very Parisian and love the options to buy bottles of wine, pasta or other tasty treats. Highly recommend!

If you work in the restaurant industry and want to learn how to operate a great fine dining restaurant, come and get a job here. The Salmon dish (34) was excellent--came with great veggies and pasta. I eat Salmon all over the world and at home and this was one of the best. The Eggplant Parm Appetizer (18) was a bit on the overpriced side for it's size like Appetizers tend to be but was excellent. The free water and bread was also very good. They have a free parking lot on the side or else park on the street for free. They have indoor seating and a covered patio. Great place for everyone: Date night, birthday celebration (there was one going one), Girls dinner, guys night out, business dinner, or dinner on your own on the patio. Expect to spend about $50 a person for dinner with Apps, more if you order alcohol. I would come back for the Salmon dish again.
