This is hands down our favorite restaurant in the area. The food is fantastic and the staff are wonderful. The tricolore pizza is my favorite. Ask for their wine recommendations.
They tend to get a lot of families between 5 and 6:30, so go after that if you want a peaceful, adult time. Before that if you like having fun with the kids.

A tiny playground just for toddlers. Between 8-months and maybe 18 months. The big kids find it super boring, so the tiny kids get it all to themselves.
