My wife an I dined here twice during my recent visit to Mayo Clinic. The place is clean, well lit, and the wait staff are attentive without being over attentive. I recommend it but suggest ordering a pizza one size smaller than what you think you will eat. Their pizzas seem to be larger than the size listed in the menu.

The streamlining of the menu and reduced choices really makes for a narrow selection for those with food allergies. Not at all impressed with quality or flavors of food ordered. This chain used to be quite good. It certainly has changed since our last visit â and not for the better. There are other, superior options for Italian.

We had both wagyu steak offerings and they were prepared to perfection. The sides we tried(roasted cauliflower, grilled asparagus, and an artistic miracle called "simply perfect" were also well prepared, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Our server was, at first, very attentive but dropped off after serving the main meal. Took forever to get dessert and coffee ordered and the meal paid for and although such behavior drives me crazy and is normally a deal breaker for future visits, the food here is so well done it was hard not to go back the very next night.Thank you for the kind compliments on the food! We are so sorry that your server dropped off as you said and we will look into this and it is a great teaching reminder that the service is from start to finish!We do hope that we have the pleasure of your company in the near future!

Fresh food, very light and healthy considering youâre eating pizza. You can just feel the freshness of the vegetables. The cheese is not overwhelming and in large quantities drowning the crust as it often happens with pizza. Itâs just right. The location is great. You can sit in or outside when the weather is pleasant. The dessert options arenât great though. Theyâre pre made and I wouldnât recommend it. Save your $$$.
