👍👍 We got the artichoke crustie, the hot honey pepperoni flat bread, and the Italian meat balls. All the food was surprisingly very good, and more importantly, it paired well with wine. The meat balls came in this really cool stainless steel vessel that you grate your cheese onto. The owners said it wa...
