It was incredibly loud and difficult to be seated. The food is exceptional but the noise level made it uncomfortable. I wish we had ordered food to go because I do not know if I could handle that noise level again.

This place is a must try. We ate here for dinner and it didn’t disappoint! Pizza was delicious and was made with fresh sauce (you can definitely tell), Wife got a chicken salad and was very pleased. I got a side salad and it served...like a meal, I also had the shrimp parmigiana and it was the best thing I ate on the island. I love Italian food though. Can’t wait to go back in the near future!More

I want to give this place 100 stars! BEST pizza we have ever had. Pizza is the thing you can get anywhere in the world, and this truly was the tastiest! The crust was perfect, the flavor was amazing, and it was STEAMING - like...still steaming halfway through eating it! We seriously miscalculated how much pizza we want to eat and polished it all off, and then had Cannoli's' for dessert - which were delicious too! The prices were very reasonable too! We had more expensive fast food meals on our trip so we were pleasantly surprised here! During dinner we had a short chat with the owner while in there, he clearly has a passion for this place and the people he serves.More

Reservations are not just a "nice to have," but they are critical here! Without them, you will be standing outside with little protection from the sun and weather, but for how long? Last warning, show up ahead of time with your Galveston Parking Application on...your phone! Parking in Galveston during the high season or event days is very competitive--with luck it will be a short walk to the restaurant. When inside, the accomodations are very tight with tables and chairs inches apart. If you are a mask wearer, this is not your kind of place. The servers move quickly here--high table turnover is their objective. They are helpful, but "chop/chop" and move on. The pizzas are the show here, but there is a full Italian menu available. They hand throw the pizzas behind the bar. The appetizers are good and a very tasty pizza is a great finish. The ambiance is good for a small space. It is a warm and friendly place. We will return! Galveston has a number of very good dining options at ALL price points. This one is mid range. If you are planning a visit to Galveston, I have submitted many reviews on almost all the options available to you. I strongly suggest that you plan ahead and determine the ones you really want to visit and NOT leave it to chance.More

it really was good! We waited over an hour, so I suggest you get there between 3-5pm for dinner to prevent the wait. (but worth it for sure) Also parking is a huge problem unless you want to pay $10, we parked several blocks away...and walked. They throw the pizza WAAAYY into the air inside, which was fun to watch. The restaurant is really noisy so very hard to carry on conversation, just fyi :)More

Quite the pizza spot they got going here on the island It’s a little crowded but still cozy. The only inconvenience was getting seated which took a while because it was crowded and small table, we could barely keep our plates on the table. We...had small pizza, half meaty, half Greek and a shrimp carbonara to share as well as fettuccine . The food was hot and delicious. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft inside. Overall this was a near 10/10 experience besides the wait and small table. Definitely worth the visit on a trip to GalvestonMore

This is a must eat at very trip for us! The pizza is amazing and their cheese bread is awesome… hard to try something else but insisted this trip that we try some of the pasta dishes… Oh yummy!! The lasagne was the best I’ve...ever had!! Not a lot of cheese other than the topping and the meat sauce was perfectly seasoned… their Shrimp Alfredo was very good too— the Alfredo sauce was just right— not too thin and not too thick! Certainly recommend this for any Italian food … you want to get there early … they only have a small dining room but the service is always great with a friendly staff!More

A very good and quaint Italian meal. The Pizza is a specialty but there are many good pasta dishes to appeal to all. Not a large place but very much a pleasant dining experience.
