The staff members were very sweet both on the phone and in person. The place was packed when we picked up our food but everyone looked happy and no one was waiting. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip and the Yo Joe pizza. The dip was probably some of the best we have ever had! The pizza was a perfect balance of crust, sauce, and toppings. We will absolutely be back!

Actually, I thought 3.5 *s would be best for this favorite spot of my son and his family. There…read morewere so many great things, but a few details that disappointed me. I will discuss the service, ambiance and the food. My experience with the food was the Caesar Salad, Lasagna, and tastes of food from those at the table. Service was great. Our server was attentive, answered our questions and even brought me some extra pepperoncini when I asked for them. She was pleasant and patient as we pondered our selections. When my adult son asked about what was tap, she brought a taster for him. Across the street from the courthouse, on the square of a town founded in 1809, the restaurant inherited a period building with brick walls. I have been in Italy and I can say that the decorations were authentic. This MAY have been a church in a previous life, but there are a few clues, particularly to loft at the front of the building. A spiral staircase leads to it, about a story and half above the main floor. Closed to visitors, I understand at times it is a live music stage. Food was good - very good, just not good enough to warrant a full 4*s. So here are my picky comments. Lasagna was a large portion and well balanced for flavor. I'm used to pasta, even in lasagna to be more al dente. For the price, there was not enough meat to satisfy my taste buds or wallet. We opted for the family sized Caesar salad,which again, was good. I'm used to more garlic as well as a more flavorful and more abundant dressing. Two pizzas also came to our table and the four diners enjoying them, liked them much. For a wood fired oven, I am more used to a more prominent smoky flavor - from my small taste. Toppings were adequate and looked great on the pie when they came out. Chianti is only available by the bottle. I would have liked a single glass. It could grow on me if I lived or worked in the area. I would not object to going back with my party when we visit, but a 75 minute drive is not worth the trip.

Doug feels that he can't please certain people so BURNT pizza is okay!! I contacted him to tell him that BURNT pizza is not only terrible but we could not eat it!! Doug can't take criticism!! I talked to him in a nice manner but Doug got very hostile in his response!! Don't tell Doug how to run his restaurant even though he cooks BURNT pizza. I expected him to apologize!! I expected Doug to replace the BURNT pizza!! We will never return!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Might as well go to Dominoes!!

So he was able to enjoy a meal in comfort and in public for the first time in quite awhile. She even showed him how he could soften the bread to have it. Their building always feels like home, and smells amazing. It's impossible to leave hungry!

Just a suggestion: since Tuesday's seem to be a slow night, maybe you could attract a more mixed aged crowd with music other than head banging or heavy metal. From 5:30 pm to 6:45, I think you only had one couple come in for pizza. There was one at the bar. Not my favorite music. I know you are across from TTec. But a variety of music could attract other patrons. Just a thought!
