    Make sure you check it out on Friday and Saturday nights! The staff does a dance around 9 pm that is so fun and really adds charm to the restaurant.

    Great spot in downtown Santa Cruz. Solid options for pizza. Staff puts on a great show a couple days a week 👍

    Service is pretty good, and always friendly. Host(s) could be better. The winner is the food! Pesto cream tops my list, and Marsala is delish!

    The spinach pizza with almond slivers on top was delicious. Sit on the sidewalk and watch the Pacific Ave riffraff walk by.

    Any pizza here is great, but perhaps a spicy pasta is more in store.

    Try the sundried tomato & artichoke ravioli, garlic cream sauce, and add bacon. It's basically the Kianti Gourmet pasta with ravioli instead of bowties. Mmmmm

    Don't sit in the bar for food, the service sucks, they allow kids there and loud obnoxious women. The other part of the restaurant is better.
