The mushroom soup was simply great – fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start to our meal.

The highlight for me was the incredibly thin and light crust a true testament to authentic Italian pizza.
For our main courses, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his salmon steak which he described as being cooked to perfection. My choice, a generous bowl of pasta with marinara sauce and seafood, was equally satisfying.

The buffet is almost back to the pre-COVID buffet. My omelette was prepared exactly as I asked. Great attitude and smiles.
Since I believe that there is always room for improvement, my I suggest that one of the two outdoor seating areas be reserved for non-smoking. Thank you.
Update 24 April 2023. Stopped in for lunch. I wanted the Piatto Formaggi. Before I could place my order the server interrupted saying “sorry, we don’t have Camembert or Gorgonzola” Two of three cheeses I intended to order. May I make a suggestion? Send someone to Ranch Market and buy the cheese....
