Great pizza, rude service.

I've been there three times now, and it's always been the same. The pizzas are very, very tasty and reasonably priced, but the waiters are abrupt and impatient.

I keep going back in the hopes that they educate or change their wait staff. I won't go back again. And that's a shame because the food really is very good.

Great tasting Pizzas. The pear and rucola salad was delicious.Went with friends and had a great night. Busy and bustling, a bit noisy, but still enjoyable. Good selection of wines.

Approximate cost: $18.00

I found the pizzas to be very good, a more authentic pizza than the typical pizza shop make. The service was OK, but I wouldn't say overly friendly. Overall, a good local place to go to.

Approximate cost: $20

I once again visited this restaurant after being advised by the owner that considerable changes had been made. I will be upfront, this place is now great. The food was excellent but the service was unbelievable. Very attentive staff, friendly polite and genuine. Give it another go. It is a place I will invite family to. Good work.

Old Comments 24 March 2009. Unfortunately the service let this restaurant down. The food is quite good. The waiter was rude to people upon entry to the place, they were left standing while staff continued with a personal conversation and later a glass of wine was practically slammed on the table. I would give them another go, but from reading other reviews, I don't think things will improve until the waiting staff improve.

Approximate cost: $15

very rude service. asked if they had fettuccine marinara and the response was go to Lygon St if you want that. It was like we were putting them out by being there. Dont bother.

Approximate cost: $20

Early start with a grp of 6. Quiet.
Told to 'hurry up' with our order, as they 'were busy tonite'
Never got above 1/2 full -and we left last!
Would have sent back my salmon (dry, overcooked OVERPRICED) if
not for the guests.
Maybe thier pizzas are rippers, but the pasta /specials were ordinary.
Not cheap -NOT reccommended.

Approximate cost: $20

you should have sent back your salmon,you have a right to. It could have been replaced. $28 for fish is no expensive,maybe you should go to better places,to see what expensive is.

I REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE.THEY BOOKED AT A CERTAIN TIME AND DRIBBLED IN AS THEY FELT LIKE IT. THE REAL ISSUE WAS THAT THEY WANTED TO ORDER GARLIC PIZZA FIRST AND THEN ORDER THEIR MEALS LATER. THE WAITER TOLD THEM, THE ORDER HAD TO BE TAKEN ALL AT ONCE, THEY COULD STILL HAVE THEIR PIZZA FIRST. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO CHOICE, BUT TO DO THIS,AS WE HAVE A VERY SMALL KITCHEN AND COOK EVERYTHING FRESH TO ORDER. IF EVERYONE CAME TO THE RESTAURANT
AND ORDERED WHEN THEY FELT LIKE IT, AN HOUR OR SO AFTER THEY BOOKED,THE RESTAURANT WOULD COLLAPSE. WE HAVE A LOT OF HAPPY REGULAR CUSTOMERS WHO COME OFTEN AS THEY KNOW THEY CAN COME AND GET A QUICK AND GOOD MEAL . WE ARE A CASUAL AND AFFORDABLE QUALITY RESTAURANT, THAT IS NOISY AND BUSTLING WHEN BUSY.THE PERSON SHOULD HAVE RETURNED THE SALMON,
IF IT WAS OVERCOOKED AND WE WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT HAPPILY. WHY WOULD YOU EAT IT, IF IT WAS NO GOOD? THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT THEY DON'T LIKE THE WAY WE DO THINGS, UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO CHOICE,BUT TO DOIT THIS WAY. MOST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT

The pizzas that were ordered were fantastic.The base was thin with a thick crust that was not oily and were very tasty.There was just enough in the large serving to fill a good appetite.The staff were attentive ,as expected, and would most definitely go back as its one of the better pizzas ive experienced:)

Approximate cost: $20

Really good pizzas. The bases are just right. Their other meals are good as well. It's a small place, so it be hard to get into without a booking, especially on weekends.

Approximate cost: $12-$28
