A happening place and a great location. Although this is a chain, don't let that stop you! Excellent large menu, big on presentation and flavor. Nice glasses of wine, great salads, crisp pizza, wonderful apps. Nice outdoor area with a lively crowd!

A signature basil martini. Sound strange? Deliciously so! Refreshing and tasty but other varieties abound. Great atmosphere, just off 5th. While we didn't eat there, the hand tossed pizzas were going out the door fast, smelled great, and we heard many people speaking highly of the food. Always eat (or drink) your greens! Cheers!

I usually get a glass of the reserve malbac for 79 pesos, a nice wine for pizza. The salads are always well prepared and the little things are done right. The... More

Yesterday, 1 May I went for dinner with my wife, first awful music and high volume. The servers running from one side to the other without anyone guide them or organize we had to wait for our drinks. Beautiful place, good price. But the manager leaves much to be desired

I will keep it short as it seems a waste to even comment on this place. We stopped in to have supper no one even acknowledged that we were there it was like “hey we know were busy and popular so we don’t have time to even look at you” we waited until a couple left then darted for the... More

The food is very good and the prices are not very high, the atmosphere and decoration of the place makes it a very good place for a couple or family dinner
