    My wife and our two girls ate here the other day and we really enjoyed it. We started with the…read moreCaesar salad and mozzarella sticks and both were solid. For dinner we had the angel hair Bolognese, the sopressata pizza with that great Italian ham, and I had the polpette with meatballs. Everything tasted fantastic. The flavors were rich, fresh, and exactly what we were hoping for after a long day on the trail. Service was quick, efficient, and everyone inside was genuinely friendly. My cup was never empty and the staff stayed on top of everything without hovering. The space is more open and cavernous than intimate, so if you're looking for a cozy Italian date spot this isn't that. But if you want great food in a relaxed place, it hits the mark. We took some pizza home and ate it the next day and it was still amazing. We enjoyed the whole experience and would absolutely come back.

    We stopped in for lunch right when they opened and were actually the first customers of the day. It…read moreended up being a great choice on a hot afternoon in Moab! To drink, I ordered the berry Italian soda and my husband had an Arnold Palmer. I really appreciated that they make both their iced tea and lemonade in-house because it made a huge difference--his drink was incredibly fresh and refreshing. We were originally thinking about ordering the meatball sandwich, but our server was honest and let us know the meatballs weren't fresh that day. I really appreciated her transparency instead of just serving it anyway. Based on her recommendation, we ordered the Chicken Parmesan Flatbread Sandwich, and it was fantastic! The only thing I'd suggest is ordering an extra side of marinara because it's so good you'll want more for dipping. I also had the pepperoni wood-fired pizza, which was delicious with a perfectly cooked crust and great flavor. They also have Parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper, and other seasonings available at the table, which is always a nice touch. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, with TVs throughout the restaurant if you're looking to catch a game, and there's also a full bar. Overall, we had a really enjoyable lunch with great food, refreshing drinks, and friendly, honest service. We'd definitely stop here again the next time we're in Moab.

It is a large restaurant on one side a bar and on the other lots of tables for all sized groups. The bacon burger is what you want to order as it is large and tasty! My table mate loved it with the fries! The beer cheese soup is made in house and I had high expectations. But I would only rate it a 2 out of 5. Pizza was a great deal as it was the daily special for only 12$ with one topping and comes with honey. Pretty neat as I had never heard of dipping the thick crust in honey but it was delicious. The place is pretty cool vibe and you can tell they have a lot of regulars! Our waitress spent a ton of time talking to people that have turned into friends that frequently visit and sadly ignored our table most of the evening. It felt like all we did was wait. Drinks were served, then we waited 20 minutes for the waitress to return to take our order. Our food delivered to the table super fast which was unexpected. Then we enjoyed our meal and waited another 20+ minutes for the check. It was ridiculously slow and the restaurant was not crowded. So if you have a lot of time and don't mind chilling for over an hour and a half for a meal, this is the spot!
