Stopped by last Tuesday for dinner with friends before heading to a light festival in Roseville. We arrived around 6:30 PM--one friend had already grabbed a table for our group of five. It wasn't too busy, and there were definitely open tables, which was nice.
We were seated right by the front entrance. It's a cute spot with an open kitchen and visible pizza oven, which I always love. However, with the fans going, it did get a little chilly where we were sitting.
Service was friendly but a bit slow and inconsistent. There were several different servers helping us throughout the night, and nothing was set on the table when we arrived, so we had to ask multiple times for straws, napkins, and silverware. Two of our friends arrived about 30 minutes late, so we were placing orders in stages, which they handled decently.
I appreciated the gluten-free options and started with the olive ricotta dip, which was delicious! The ricotta was creamy and mild, and the olives were briny and flavorful. The gluten-free bread was very crunchy--so good.
For dinner, I ordered the Ortiz pizza and added Italian sausage. The pizza was tasty, but the sausage was minimal--more like scattered crumbles than a full topping. I also ordered an iced tea, but it didn't taste fresh at all, so I barely drank it.
One friend had the rigatoni and said it was flavorful. For dessert, two friends ordered the rhubarb crème brûlée--one didn't care for the rhubarb, said it was too bitter. Two others shared the s'mores calzone, which was massive. Definitely a dessert meant for 2-3 people to share--might be helpful if the menu noted that!
Overall, it was an okay experience. The food came out evenly and in a reasonable amount of time, but the service could've been sharper. I might come back, but I wouldn't say it's a new go-to.
