    The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. The ambiance is a bit whatever. HOWEVER, the food is spectacular and the service is wonderful. Overlook the obvious and book soon.

    Enjoyed our dinner. Attentive service. Great gourmet pizza ( Southern Italy) and fresh salad (goat cheese/pear, rocket/balsamic vinegar and walnut). Although we miss the personalized attention we received from Marco, the original owner/manager and servers of the former owners 😕.
