Atmosphere, nice. Decor could fit the vibe differently. Wood fire pizza, excellent flavor on the mushroom pizza Light crispy crust, balance toppings. Vanilla jalapeno cornbread was unique, good portion size on spaghetti and meatballs. Disappointed on Parmesan cheese not real, shaker type. Plenty of seating, nice area, small town.

Hidden gem in Little Falls, staff is hands down the best I've encountered. Food is amazing, drinks and dessert great! Super date night, next to movie theater.

This little gem knocked my socks off. Not only was the restaurant great looking and classy, but the Duck Toastie sandwich is hands down one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten! Their wood fired pizza was extremely delicious, and it was just hands down a great experience and a great surprise. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m passing through.

Update: The wood fired pizza is so good! The rest of the menu as well, but seriously... get the pizza! Service was fantastic! Food was good, and came out quickly. Might be personal preference but I'd have liked to have some caramelized onions and bell peppers as well as some cherry peppers, or some giardiniera on the meatball sub. It was still really good, that would have taken it to the next level. The service and food will definitely bring me back. The bar was extensive, with signature drinks and plenty of tap beer, and would be a good place to just get some drinks.

We enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner here, we came early in the evening before the rush and had seating in their second room. Taste exploded from each dish. Friendly service. Since they cook from a high class wood fired oven, the steak was not evenly cooked but still very good. The Duck was incredible and the Mississippi Mud Cake was mouth watering. Grateful for a wonderful date night, we'll be back!

Cute spot with great italian food. We had the toasted duck sandwich and the burger! Both were great and the fries were incredible.

This place is too nice for Little Falls. Prepare yourself for a gastronomic taste tour of extasy! This is a small charming place with a mixed crowd. You could take your spouse on a nice dinner date, or go out on the town for a couple cocktails and a wood fired pizza. The food was the star of the show!
