Love this place. Great customer service. We had the pesca fritti, bolognese, and Margherita pizza. All of it was delicious. We paired the food with local wine.

We got to the restaurant less than an hour before closing time but the server was gracious enough to let us in and took our order. Food was excellent!!!

This place can be a bit busy on a weekend, but it was perfect on a Tuesday afternoon. Wild boar pizza was excellent, beer was cold, service was good, prices are reasonable, very relaxed vibe.
