Not worth my drive. Wont be back....mediocre at best service The "brick oven" pizza was awful. Zero flavor to the sauce. The crust was bland and soft/floppy. Definitely not a good "brick oven" pizza. The italian beef sandwich....oh how awful. Ordered it spicy and wet. Got the sandwich dry.....a wet italian beef should be that. Wet. As in the entire sandwich dipped in au jus. When I asked for au jus on the side the kid asked what that was and wasnt sure if they even had it. Then, I tasted it. Strike 2. The bread was very bland and really thats All You tasted. The beef was cool to the touch and chewy/rubbery. The cherry on top was when I removed the top bread and there was no giardiniera on the sandwich. None. Zero. The giardiniera is one of the key ingredients to a great italian beef..... The "chef", as he was called, needs to take a trip to Chicago and visit Als to get a sense of the recipe before he can claim the sandwich is a "Chicago classic" on his menu. Will not return to this restaurant. Between the food, mediocre service, and the loss of diesel fuel getting there, I give a 2/10. I do not recommend going there. Not sure how this place receives anything higher than a 2 star review.

Seriously not good at all. Dont know how it can have good reviews on here. Chicken parmesan burnt, dry, chewy like leather. Mentioned it and server said "sorry about your chicken" and walked away the first time. The pasta was bland too. Sent it back. I never am a customer to complain, but it was just inedible. Then the awkwardness of them keeping it on the bill having to rehash why are we getting charged for a sent back dish and charging for the dessert they offered instead! Entire experience sooo uncomfortable (I wanted to crawl under the table!) Fiances shrimp alfredo was less than mediocre too.

The food was all good. They make everything from scratch the same day it is served. I had the Lasagna and it is the best I have ever eaten. Better than OGs on same side of town. The atmosphere needs improvement; walls or partitions to cut down on the loudness of the conversations. Something needs to be done in the front to cut down on sun light where there are no shades. Need cushions in the booths. Those few changes will attrack more people. They were packed when we were there onba Saturday night. The food is magnificent!! Good luck Rome 16!!!

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service. The marina sauce was way way way to spicey. I couldnt taste anything my mouth was on fire, my mom and grandma got the lasagna and their mouths were on fire too. I dont mind things with a little bit of heat but I couldnt even enjoy it. Really disappointed we were so excited to support a Christian business. Will maybe come try a different dish to give you guys another chance.

Great food, great atmosphere, and a great philosophy! A restaurant that genuinely understands and supports local sustainability! I was glad to hear that were using local fresh ingredients but I was highly impressed to learn that they also network with local artisan distributors for their authentic cheeses, high quality meats, and delicious, decadent desserts.

Good food and service. Everything is freshly made in - house so its not your typical pre-packaged food. Prices are good, comparable with say Pizza Cottage on the low end and Texas Roadhouse on the high end. Interior is nicely done but, the open concept design and furnishings tends to make it just shy of noisy and noticeably cold when its cold outside.

My family and I went there for the first time yesterday. It was so delicious that if they were open today we would have gone right back. I cant say enough good things about the service we received. Our server was extremely polite and helpful. I will gladly recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.

Poor food. The spaghetti sauce was dry and very spicy. It was also bland. Any jar sauce that you buy at the store is better. The cream sauce for the macorrni was bland but the add a lot of pepper to help it. The bread was hard a a rock. The place will close down for sure.

Wow!! What a great new restaurant. From the awesome service we received from Haley to the fabulous food. Italian salad dressing was the best I have ever had. Took my boys and they loved it as well. Definitely will be coming back again and again. New family place to eat!

Horrible experience. It took an hour and a half to be served our food, and it was mediocre at best. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a pleasant meal. I would have rated a half star, but Google doesnt allow half-ratings.

Great food at very reasonable prices. They have a good selection and on Wednesdays they test new menue items. The side salad was large and had a great mix of vegetables. They also offer a military discount.

Im a vegan and the chef whipped up this delicious vegan pizza for me. Jared said they will be adding more vegan offerings on their menu. This will be a regular stop for me

Not a bad place to eat. The food is ok pricey for the amount of food you get, but they are making things from scratch so its somewhat reasonable in my opinion.

Excellent service and even better food. Relaxed atmosphere. The only problem we had was that it is very hard to hear each other.

Everything Ive tried has been delicious. Service was a little rough the first couple weeks, but that seems to be resolved.
