On the Grid : Cento

"Named after the Lambretta Cento, the walls of this alleyway cafe are covered with scooters and ska paraphernalia (think the Specials’ album sleeves and Quadrophenia movie posters). There’s no indoor seating, but you can pull up a stool at one of the small bar tables out front or sit in the sun on the nearby loading dock. The baristas prepare each cup of Blue Bottle Coffee using the pour over method, so it’ll take a minute but the fresh flavor is worth it. Bonus: you can get a small discount if your bring your own mug." - Airbnb

Friendly hosts, good food, good vibe. The restaurant is busy at Friday night, so reservation is highly recommended. This is our second time visiting this restaurant, we will likely come back again in the future.

This is an awesome place! We stopped to use the restroom and they had barstools available for five of us!!!!!!! Although, the entire place filled up quickly. A small issue arose and the manager, well she immediately corrected it with gentle kind words and saw to it that we were happy. And boy were we! The drinks were beyond great and the food, oh the food! It was served with accuracy and paced properly. Every bite was good. We were going to skip the pizza but could not resist. And it was well worth it. Good, drinks, atmosphere, great management, great staff, great food. It’s the whole deal. GO!!!!!!

Pictured here: summer appetizer of grilled peaches and burrata with a honey🍯 drizzle. If you haven't tried Centonove yet, you are missing out! Now that you know, I may never be able to get a table there - it will be so crowded. 😂 The food is outstanding and service is always on point My favorite dish is the Fiocchi di Pera. 😘

Shelly provided excellent service. She welcomed us immediately and gave a lovely recommendation for red wine. She was cautious with my gluten allergy, even with desert, and the GF pasta was the best one had at a restaurant! Food was delicious, restaurant had a nice ambience, and perfect for an impromptu date night in LG. We definitely will be back and hope to see Shelly and her warm personality again!

We have been here a few times. Fantastic food and great service too. We have tried their bruschetta, pesto pizza, pizza pera, fungi pizza so far. All have been excellent. They have great quality burrata and bread.

Don’t go any further, you’ve arrived at one of the best Italian restaurants in the area. While some of the restaurants we either closed at 7:00pm or very slow, this one was buzzing with customers. It took some time to get seated, and boy was it worth the wait. They went out of their way to accommodate us with a great outdoor space, amazing team service. Despite how extremely busy they were, they still smiled, were attentive and quick. Just before closing they had a group of sixteen guests without reservation and they were welcomed in. The food was delicious, well priced and we liked it so much that we went back two days later for lunch.

Centonove has become a really special place for my wife and me. We’ve celebrated some of our most important moments here—our wedding rehearsal dinner, our anniversary dinners, and many other special occasions. Every time, the food has been outstanding and the atmosphere has made the night feel memorable. The staff always goes out of their way to make us feel welcome, and the service is just as impressive as the menu. It’s the kind of restaurant where you can count on both a great meal and a great experience, which is why we keep coming back. Centonove will always be our go-to for celebrating life’s milestones.

Wow, what an incredible find! I've been living in Los Gatos for quite some time now and thought I'd tried every restaurant in town, but somehow I missed this gem! The service here is top-notch—fast, efficient, and super friendly. And let's talk about the food—absolutely fantastic! We kicked things off with the antipasto platter, which was loaded with deliciousness. Then we dove into two pasta dishes: the classic bolognese and the cheesy truffle pasta. Both were out of this world! And don't even get me started on dessert. We indulged in the americano and tiramisu, and let me tell you, that tiramisu was hands down the best I've ever had. Bravo to the chef! I'll definitely be coming back for more!

When I am in Los Gatos, Centovene is one of my favorite spots! From its wide range of menu options, to its gluten free accommodations - you can't beat it! On a recent visit I ordered the prosciutto and melon and burrata appetizers for the table and both were divine! The pasta meals didn't disappoint either and I was lucky enough that my dining partner was willing to share so I was able to try both the bolognese and the carbonara - honestly you can't go wrong with either of these! Closed out the meal with some awesome gelato The staff is great and makes awesome recommendations. Make sure you make a reservation for your visit!

Came by on a Saturday after the farmers market. We were seated right away and had the option of indoor or outdoor seating. We sat outside because of the nice weather and the seating was covered with heating lamps. We got the daily special short Rib tagliatelle and the vongole e Gamberi. The tagliatelle noodles were cooked perfectly and there was a good ratio of meat to noodles. 5/5 The vongole sauce was well seasoned 5/5. *We enjoy squid ink* so if you do not like squid ink, this may not be for you.

Was walking by to buy a book at the Barnes and Nobles nearby, I was getting hungry and walked around to find a place to eat, then I happen to see this place and was craving pasta. So I came into place looking to get some pasta here. Just to let you know all their pasta sounded delicious. Their pizzas looked intriguing and was almost tempted to get a pizza also, but I refrained my self from getting one. Even the appetizers were delicious sounding, but the only thing I got was the bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was warm and nice when served which is a plus. I got the gnocchi pasta was also very good, however if you eat it with protein they have in there, it does get super salty. Honestly it might be better just with sauce. But it is not cheap and the amount I got was surprisingly small for how much I paid for. It's my only minor complaint, but this is a nice little place to take someone on a date The servers were also very friendly and nice.

Came here last Friday and had a great experience. We made a reservation ahead of time. They start you off with warm bread and olive oil & vinegar. We ordered a plate of olives. They're served warm and still have the pit in them fyi. For drinks we got sparkling water and I ordered a virgin espresso martini just to see if it could be done and it was delicious. Tasted like a good iced coffee lol For dinner we got the gnocchi and the fiocchi di pera. They were both so good and flavorful. Next time I come back I'll either get the same thing or try the tagliatelle bolognese They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors. The atmosphere was charming and the service was great. The only thing I wish is they didn't seat us right next to other tables when there were plenty of other empty tables

This restaurant was amazing. To start off our server was so friendly, she basically helped me order my whole meal, wine and all by asking me what my preferences were. I ordered the salmon dish and it was delicious. I substituted the risotto for crème potatoes. The artichoke and capers was the perfect salty add on. My mom's truffle pasta was so rich and flavorful. As everyone else has mentioned, yes the bread is to die for!!! It's like a warm, pillowy, doughy heaven. I can't wait to come back to this restaurant! Salmon: 10/10 Truffle pasta: 10/10 Bread Basket: 11/10 Service: 11/10

I've tried this place twice and both times it was just okay. I like that they have specials and I got the mushroom ravioli that they had as a special that day. I was excited to try it as I love mushroom but something was off about it. The filling was very odd and the texture wasn't good. The pine nuts were a good addition though. The dish was also soaked in butter. It was quite expensive at 28$ too. They do have lots of dessert options which is nice. I got the donuts that had chocolate and cream filling and also the tiramisu. Both were good but the tiramisu had too much cream on it at the top layer and the ratio was off. The service and ambiance are both good here though, and there's lots of seating outdoor if you want to sit outside with heaters too. It was also way too cold inside.

The pear and Gorgonzola pasta was incredible. The pizza was fine but the pesto tasted too garlicky (reminiscent of the Costco pesto). They currently have a peach and burrata app special that is delicious! There is indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor is covered and has heaters. I felt service was a little slow, we waited a while to pay the check even though there were only 4 other parties present. Other groups had dogs outside on the patio so it appears it is dog friendly.

Great spot in Los Gatos for some tasty and rich pizza and pasta. Lots of outdoor seating next to the street, and plenty of space inside as well. Great place to people watch and take in the amazing California climate.

Nice place when you walk in. White table cloths and nice wallpaper. Not sure why they were playing Southern rock in the background, but it was 3 PM so maybe it was just to make staff happy when business is slow. We had the misty salad and the zucchini pizza with arugula. I got the pasta with shrimp and clams to go. The salad was enough for the two of us to share and was pretty good. Not drenched in dressing, but just enough to give you the flavor. The pizza came piping hot from the oven with yellow squash, and arugula on it, and a nice soft goat cheese. Even though it was hot, the crust was not quite done through and so it was a little floppy. Still it was delicious, especially with the red chili flakes. Which I took note come out of the shaker very nicely, unlike other grinds of red chili flakes. Service was pretty good except they did not ask if we would like to have red chili flakes brought to the table. We had to get them ourselves from the station behind us as the server had quickly disappeared before we noticed. Even though it was mid afternoon, they had a decent amount of business, primarily teens or early 20s, probably to share a pizza and gab. I would definitely come back, especially to try the pasta dishes Since I got a pasta dish to go, I will try it at home and let that be my guide.

Went here for the first time and it was fabulous!! We're definitely coming back again! Photo is the Insalata di Misticanza and bread service with pear martini on left. We had fusilli pasta with chicken and chicken Parmesan for entrees. My husband said the broccolini that came with the chicken Parmesan was the best he's ever had. Everything was fantastic and so delicious!!

The place is cozy. As for food, it's just average but not bad. Biggest disappointment was the texture of the pizza dough. It has wonder bread texture (virtually no chew). The place was small and quiet enough to hear one another which was probably the high point of our visit. At 20% mendated tip for our party, an excellent service is an entitlement and nothing to compliment about, hence it's par. So fellow diners, demand an excellent service and tip accordingly. If you plan to visit and want to know my assessment of food, please read on or you may quit at this point. Fusilli al Arrabiata: sauce is slightly spicy and not bad. Texture was boring. Vongole e Gamberi: avoid this item. The noodles are dark but squid ink flavor is just not there. Margherita: Just average sauce but the dough ruins it as for all pizzas. Best topping among our orders Salciccia e Prosciutto: Does it cost more because it's salty? What's with the ground meat? Pass. Funghi: OK but not impressed. Dry. Parma: just chuck-e-cheese with arugula and prosciutto. Ok but not to be repeated. Antipasto platter: this was a good starter. Just this appetizer and beer probably would have kept us happy. Bruschetta: underwhelmed. Lacking flavor. Overall we had a good time not because of food but the seating area and the company. Beers helped. Just go with a low expectation and perhaps you might just enjoy the food. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong things or is it the Sunday evening Chef? Hard to believe though. Time for a menu revamp?

Centonove is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Gatos. It's our go-to spot for my friends and me. Our favorite drink is the Pear Martini--it's so delicious and dangerously easy to have too many! The first time I went, we ordered pizza, which was a great choice, especially since they offer gluten-free and vegan options. However, since then, I've become partial to their Fiocchi di Pera--pasta pockets with pear and cheese in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. Absolutely divine! The staff is knowledgeable and super fun, adding to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, as seating--both indoors and outdoors--is limited. But even if you have to wait, it's definitely worth it!

We had the special peach and burrata appetizer it was delicious. Then we split the gnocchi and salcicca and prosciutto pizza, it was absolutely delicious.we were too full for dessert and we had the pear martini with raw sugar rim that was fabulous also. Great service our waitress was amazing she also talked us through our choices. Very good food and service.

Stopped by for a quick dinner and luckily they had a table available on their outdoor patio since I was dining with my dog. Unfortunately, the bread service is no longer complimentary. It's $4 now. That's such bummer because it's such a great way to welcome back customers. My first time dining here I had pasta so this time around I ordered a pizza. They have good vegetarian pizza options. I ordered the traditional Margherita pizza and it was solid! Thin slices and fluffy crust. The sauce to mozzarella ratio was perfect. I reheated my leftovers the next day and it was still just as good!

very mid / just okay Flavor was a big miss. THE FOOD: - good starter bread - cavatelli stracciatella (sausage pasta): you can tell the pasta is homemade pasta. Portion was really small too - funghi (mushroom) pizza: there's no umami and the thyme overpowered everything too. Garlic tasted preserve and not fresh Friendly but slow service. Nice ambiance sitting outside on a summer night. Dog friendly patio! They gave all the doggos there water bowls so that was sweet (:

Delicious food and great service. From the moment we stepped into Centonove we felt like family. Our server went of her way to make recommendations and seat is in a warmer section on a cold night. We ordered the antipasto appetizer which was a little spicy with the red peppers. Chicken piccata and gnocchi. Cocktails were also perfectly balanced.

We celebrated my birthday at Centonove and sat outside on the heated patio so our 14-year-old dog could join us--such a thoughtful option. We ordered a half bottle of Vietti wine, which was excellent, and enjoyed clams, tortellini, and pizza. Everything was fresh and flavorful. For a sweet surprise, I was brought a tiramisu--on the house--with a candle. It was outstanding, truly on par with the tiramisu we recently had in Venice. Our server was excellent and made the evening feel special. Next time, I'll request the table with two heaters, since the single one by us wasn't quite sufficient. Although Centonove is dog-friendly, our pup wasn't offered water, and some restaurants go a step further with small touches like a blanket for dogs on the cement. That would have made it even better. All in all, a wonderful birthday dinner with fantastic food, wine, and service. We will definitely be returning.

I've lived in Los Gatos for a few years now and this was my first time visiting Centonove. My partner was having a bad day -- we were lucky to snag a reservation at the last minute so he could drown his sorrows in some yummy pizza. The decor is modern and uncomplicated - brick walls, white tablecloths, a monochrome color scheme. It's nice, but a little too cramped for my liking, especially when the restaurant is full. Our server was warm and friendly, but he was quite busy and it took some time for him to come around and take our order. It all worked out just fine because our food came out a short time later. So, yay for that- I was hungry! My partner ordered a margherita pizza, and it was everything he hoped it would be. When I asked him how it was, he said it was "very good." Following up, I asked him how it compared to the pizza he makes at home and the pizza at La Pizza y La Pasta. While he decided it was on par with Eataly's offerings, it wasn't as good as the pizza he makes himself. When asked about the difference between the two, he said he preferred his crust because it is "lighter." Avoiding gluten and dairy, I did not get to try it. But that the pizza was good was evident from the smile on his face and the cleared plate. When you have to avoid gluten and dairy, like me, but your partner would happily limit his diet exclusively to pizza and pasta, a proper Italian restaurant can present a challenging dining experience. And I'll be honest, I feel lame going into a place known for its pizza -- a dish with cheese and pizza dough as central components - trying to avoid both of those things. So, I was incredibly grateful when I ordered the salmon and asked to substitute the risotto for the potatoes that the server asked me "the creamy potatoes?" When I hesitated and asked him if they have potatoes without cream or cheese, he asked me if I had a dairy allergy, which I really appreciated, and then he confirmed that they could substitute regular roasted potatoes instead of the creamy ones. Huge shout out to the server for patiently answering my questions and making sure I got something I could eat. I would have been SO sad if I had received cheese and cream laden potatoes that I could not eat. The salmon was perfectly cooked, with the crispiest salmon skin (in a good way) that I've ever had. The potatoes and roasted carrots were also tasty. We had a lovely evening here, and I'd absolutely recommend a visit.

Long time diner, first time caller -- I mean yelper Centonove is good, bordering on very good. The only issue is it used to be very good, bordering on great. The pizza are still the best and most reliable options. Thin lightly burnt crust -- not American fast-food style. The sausage and prosciutto is my fav but the mushroom one is a close second. Tagliatelle Bolognese is the go-to pasta dish. It's meaty and a solid flavor. On my most recent visit, there was no parmigiano on top. The house ravioli is filled with spinach and ricotta. Smaller portion. Nothing wrong with it. Affogato and Tiramisù are fine as desserts. I didn't care for the bland Panna Cotta. Small warnings: 1. When you get asked for still or sparking water, the still is free but the sparking is an extra charge. 2. The $5 bread service doesn't come with free refills. If you sit at the bar between 5-6pm on weekdays, antipasti, pizza, beer and wine are available at a reduced price. Personal preference: I don't like sitting inside near the back during the summer. The wood burning oven makes the room pretty warm. If it's a nice night, sit outside -- the tables and chairs are a little smaller but it's comfortable. Some yelpers seem to complain about the service but I've never had any issues.

Enjoy a fine Italian dinner in the Los Gatos area! I really enjoyed this fine restaurant! All the dishes we ate were exquisite! From the appetizers, wine, and main course, this is surely a place you don't wanna miss out on! The inside was nicely decorated and good vibes going on throughout the restaurant! Our server was very kind and helpful! We asked for recommendations and he have us his reasoning in very well thought out details! You must try the fresh bruchetta! That was the best dish I tried here! Very rich in flavor and so light! Perfect! And i love me and a good Margherita Pizza and this one here disappoint! So fresh and so good! 5 stars

We recently discovered Centonove in Los Gatos and were blown away. The pasta was absolutely delicious -- fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. What truly set the experience apart, though, was the service: attentive, warm, and truly out of this world. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. A new favorite we can't wait to return to.

Beware if you are dining outside. They got new chairs which are even smaller & more uncomfortable than the previous ones. I'm petite and slender, but even I had a hard time. No kidding but they are literally kid-sized. My back hurt the next day & I don't even have back issues lol. (So, definitely not the place to eat if you are concerned about any ADA issues. ) We were seated on a slope which is the most awkward dining experience ever. Further, when my friend asked to move to another table with comfortable chairs (there were 3 chairs) they said no. This particular table sat empty the entire 2 hours were there. I get it's a challenging area to have seating but sometimes it's not worth it to squeeze more tables in at the sacrifice of comfort. I don't think I'll be back sadly. It's a shame not to be able to have a semi comfortable dining experience out in the patio area in warmer weather :( Food: gnocchi was blander than usual. The beets in beet salad weren't cooked enough and the chicken in chicken dish was too dry. Recent reviews point out that this place has obviously slipped. I hope they can turn things around.

Located in charming downtown Los Gatos, this Italian gem blends rustic charm with modern touches. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, with warm lighting and great energy, whether you're seated inside or out on the patio. The menu is focused, seasonal, and full of flavor. Standout dishes include: * House-made pastas that are always perfectly cooked--rich, fresh, and beautifully balanced. * The Bolognese is a must if you're into comfort food done right--deep, meaty, and satisfying. * Wood-fired pizzas with thin, crisp crusts and high-quality toppings that speak for themselves. * Don't sleep on the burrata appetizer--creamy, fresh, and paired with seasonal ingredients. Their wine list is stellar, with a well-curated selection of Italian and Californian wines, plus knowledgeable staff who are happy to recommend the perfect pairing. Service is always attentive without being overbearing--professional, personable, and well-paced. Centonove delivers that perfect combination of great food, great wine, and great atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a place that keeps calling you back.

11/15/2025 we came without a reservation and got seated immediately however, the hostess (older blonde woman) was initially rude to me. When I first arrived, I had asked "hi how are you?" and she just stared at me with a blank stare and asked how can I help you? After being seated, we noticed there were a variety of flies in the facility. There were the standard horse flies then they were fruit flies, and then there were some really slow flying flies as well. I had ordered a margarita pizza with prosciutto and the pizza was just not very good. The dough was quite underdone and had no flavor. We also ordered the gnocchi which were delicious and had ordered the bombolini and pana cotta. The bombolini were quite a lot denser than I thought they would be, however the pana cotta was the star of the night. Our waiter José G was excellent though. Great pacing throughout the evening. Overall, I would most certainly not come back here.

I about love this place. I came in my with my 3 year old daughter last night and we shared a pizza and ice cream. The pizza was incredible, the best in Los Gatos in my opinion. They had a watermelon strawberry, arugula, salad special which we got; perfect summer salad. My daughter got the caramel ice cream and she loved it. The overall experience was top tier, highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I went on a date night here and it was so much fun! The food was delicious- and I couldn't help but have two of their basil gin refreshers (so so good). Our waiter was also wonderful. He took the time to make sure we were comfortable, didn't rush us at all, and provided excellent service. They have a cute outside seating area right in downtown Los Gatos which is peaceful, beautiful and has an awesome vibe to it. Definitely would prepare to spend some money, but a 10/10 experience. Thanks so much!

109 Good pizza! They have a chewy dough that comes out perfectly in the wood fired oven. Caesar salad was fresh and crispy with a nice creamy dressing. I especially recommend the scampi appetizer it was very tasty with a delicious pesto sauce. Everything went well with a Sierra Nevada on tap. It's nice inside and they have outdoor covered seating. Service was good for being there at a super busy time, I like that they use the toast app tablet for paperless payments.

We have been happy customers of Centonove est 2013. Earlier that year we moved to Los Gatos with our family of 5 and luckily Centonove opened in the fall. When my kids come back home from college this is one of the places they always want to visit at some point. Excellent food, great service - greatful to have such a gem in our town.

I had the pesto pizza, and thevpear martinis, 3 of them. They were delicious. Great service. Our waiter checked in on as best he could considering how bubusy they were. I would love to visit again when I am in the neighborhood.

Absolutely love Centonove. It is our go-to Italian date night dinner spot. We have been twice now and loved it both times. For food: 10/10! Have only had fantastic food so far. We tried 3 different pizzas and the Caesar salad. Love all of them so much. We Laos ordered a bottle of their natural wine which was delicious! We are unfortunately always too stuffed by the end to order dessert. Another reason to come back! We have had the same server both times now too. I wish I knew her name because she is so nice and attentive and even remembered us! She has curly hair and some tattoos and is the best. Also had an aperol spritz and espresso martini. Pro tip: sub tequila in the espresso martini instead of vodka! Delicious. No complaints whatsoever! Cant wait to come back

Got a seat outside on a Thursday evening for a little birthday dinner. The service was great and the food was amazing. Started with a glass of sparkling and a "special" appetizer: grilled peaches & burrata. Then finished with spinach gnocchi with leeks and prosciutto. Just a delicious meal start to finish. I will be back.

Just a cozy, friendly place with great salads, pastas, wines and pizza. What more can you ask for? I always recommend the ravioli, the caesar salad and the Calabrese pizza (very spicy, but I add roasted garlic). The Heirloom tomato salad, even though you'd think tomato season has passed, was excellent.

Walked into this restaurant on a Saturday night and was seated right away! The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered a Fusilli al Arrabbiata, and our server kindly let me know that this was very spicy, so I got a mild version, which was flavorful, and the pasta was well cooked. It was a little bit pricey, but it felt like a high-end nice restaurant with good service, so I didn't mind too much. I'm excited to come again with my family!

Super cute restaurant! Went to celebrate a friend's birthday and the service was awesome! We ordered 4 pizzas, 3 salads and 3 pastas. Everything was so good but the pesto pizza was my favorite. Drinks were delicious too. Definitely will go back!

Probably one of my worst dining experiences I've ever had! I'll start with what bothered me most, I have never been treated so horrible at any restaurant like I was treated here! We went to dinner around 6 pm for my brother in laws birthday so we had a larger party with some kids my two sons and 2 little girls in our party. While we're waiting to get drinks our server thought it would be a good idea to come whisper in my ear " I just wanted to let you know that's my manager over there and she doesn't like noise! You may want to keep it down or it will be a problem for her" first of all your "manager " shouldn't be dining by guest in the first place! The manager was having dinner with around 4 other ladies at a table near us. And this is a LOUD busy restaurant I couldn't even hear my family speaking to me at the same table because of how loud it was where they sat us. I couldn't believe a paying customer who drove 2 hours to eat at this mediocre restaurant ( food was cold, salad wet too much dressing,cocktail bad) was being told they needed to not make noise to please the restaurant manager . We were the only party that was told this even though the two other tables had cell phones out making normal level noise just like us were not told anything. Also they have a kids menu but we were told they do not use kids cups?? I asked for kids cups for my 2 and 4 year old sons and thought it was odd they wouldn't have cups only to find out they did! Pure lazy staff and rude ! I had to ask multiple times for extra bread and was never brought any . To be completely honest I felt the manager and staff were racist against our Hispanic party . We spent good money to have a family birthday party only to be treated like crap and be served cold food. Very disappointing . I used to work in the restaurant industry for years and I can't even IMAGINE one of my managers staring down a guest and making them feel so uncomfortable and than have the audacity to tell staff we need to keep it down or she will get upset!" That's absolutely insane !!! I hope the owner reads this but honestly if that's how management acts than I think that says a whole lot about the owner if she feels comfortable to act that way towards customers or make servers tell customers to keep it down. I will never return here again or recommend this place to anyone

Always a good meal here, and drinks too. It's the only place in LG that consistently offers good pasta AND pizza; their cocktails are also very yummy. The staff is friendly and attentive, although we forgot our server's name. The restaurant is always busy but offers dining indoors and outdoors, and they even have a small room downstairs, likely for private parties. The ambiance is great for family, date night or even a girls' night. There's plenty of parking around the area, whether street parking or garages. This is our go-to when we want some good Italian food!

We started off with the Fig and Burrata, which was incredibly good! We ordered the Pizza Pera (gluten free) and Cavatelli Stracchino & Salsiccia as our main dishes. The pizza was super good and we also enjoyed the pasta! The drinks were also great. Our server was incredibly nice and attentive, which only added to the already pleasant ambiance. Overall, would definitely recommend a try!

A huge shout out to Shelly and the exceptional kitchen staff! They're the reason we make the drive every couple of months to enjoy these incredible meals and specials. Our 18-year-old daughter joined us, and we all loved the outdoor patio experience. The bread, the pasta, the drinks--everything is superb! She always has a wine to go with whatever you had ordered. We literally go to bed dreaming about this food after being here. Make the trip down here!
