Awesome dinner with my partner. We had margarita pizza and rigatoni matriciana pasta. Both were amazing. The pizza was as good as many places in my home country italy 🇮🇹 and 1000 times better then pizzas where I live in new zealand 🇳🇿

I really wanted to like this place. Had not been to an Italian restaurant in yonks. I had had indifferent pastas in the past (from other establishments) and store-bought pastas & sauces have improved so much these days (so sue me! I can cook great pastas myself at home!) so I wanted to try a pizza, since I don't have a pizza oven at home & thought pizzas cooked in one would taste better. I ordered the vegetarian pizza (with mushrooms & capsicum)... Disappointing. While the dough at the edges tasted good and had a bit of char (thus flavour), the middle part (most!) of the pizza was soggy even as it arrived at the table. OK, it's a thin-crust, but... still... soggy? Then the taste test--🙁 bland, not enough seasoning, hardly any flavour, & I couldn't even tell if there were herbs (no smell of any oregano or any other herb or spice). Capsicum slices were SOO SOO thin they must have been sliced by a scientist in a lab with a laser. Deliberate or accidental? Who knows, but it meant there was no taste, no texture, nothing. Mushrooms? Barely there, & couldn't taste them. So, as a whole, truly just blah. Hate to say it, but Domino's vegorama pizza has 10 times the creativity of ingredients and flavour. Without the crusty circumference of the pizza, and the loads of parmesan I sprinkled on, it would have been terrible.... If you have to season your food heavily at the table to make it edible.... What can I say? Disappointing indeed. Service was the only up side. Attentive with replenishing the bottles of water and friendly (then again the restaurant was not busy at all). Oh well... Never again.

Recently we dined here for a birthday party and found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our meals and the prices were reasonable. My only suggestion is breaking in half the table configuration running along the wall so patrons can exit easily when sitting along the wall in a large group.

I had the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted. Perfect, Lovely place. Friendly, efficient, attentive but unobtrusive, staff. Excellent value. 👌

I've eaten here twice & the pizzas were good. Tonight, I got the same pizza, a volcaneo, and there wasn't any spice. No chilli. No chilli sauce. Simple stuff. As you can see in the original pics, I just opened the box, and 2 pieces of the pieces were so light on. Where's the pepperoni? Where's the spice? I didn't order a cheese pizza. Tasty, yes, topping lacking. Maybe because it was takeaway? When I opened the box, I said to my partner, "I got the wrong pizza, lol." It's all cheese.
