In contrast to the original reviewer, I really enjoy their pizzas, as I tend to favor very strongly thin crust pizzas with.... what might lovingly be referred to as very strong flavors. As for the food, I've had pretty good but not exceptional luck here. The red&black tuna is wonderful as an appetizer if it is still offered, and the tomato\basil\mozarella salad, while fairly standard fare at upscale restaurants, is pretty good here.

I've been here several times and I always WANT to like it. The service has usually been pretty good and I like the looks of the place. Unfortunately the food has always been disappointing.
So let's start with the good
Atmosphere and decorations are nice and you can eat out front.
The crab dip appetizer is great (ask for extra crustinis though and there is no way to finish the dip with what they give you.)
The Bad:
The pizzas are just OK, nothing spectacular
Every pasta dish I've gotten there (or my wife has gotten) has really been lacking in flavor. This is true for shrimp scampi. How can you not get flavor into shrimp scampi? It's butter and garlic! Somehow they managed it though.
So I wish they would make good food because like I said... I WANT to like it. :)
The crab dip is really good...that is honestly my main motivation for going back 3 or 4 times that I've gone. -
