What customers say?

“ This place does serve a wide variety of dishes from pizza to Casados to steaks. This was our first time here since it became an indoor place. The AC wasn’t cold, but it does keep most of the bugs away. The decor was pretty local, but clean. Service was friendly but quite slow. We tried several dishes and they were acceptable. The lilikoi (passion fruit) chicken was interesting but the breast itself was over cooked. The best dish was its yucca side dish. It was superb and this is coming from someone who isn’t a big fan of yuccas. ”

“ Nice variety but I come for the Pizza. Erwin on the pizza oven is great!! My favorite so far is the Caprese. I always order it well done and it’s great. A little chili oil and BAM!! It’s complete. Plus you can have ice cream after. ”

“ EXCELLENT PLACE for pizza or anything Italian! Clean, modern, AC, bright — great menu. The first guy who greeted us was fantastic — friendly, polite and attentive. The guy who waited on us was super cranky (wore glasses, may have been the bartender) — he didn’t really speak, at best he “grunted” out what I thought was a response. Maybe a bad day for him but it prevented me from giving ALL 5 STARS. FOOD WAS FANTASTIC! We had Chicken Pesto pasta and Del Mar White pasta — that came with a ton of fresh seafood, including a whole crab. The pizzas that kept going past us looked fantastic — NEXT TIME!!! ”
