The restaurant is excellent. But for fun and a great happy hour... on a nice evening, the rooftop patio upstairs above the restaurant can't be missed. They have a large variety of food and drinks on their happy hour menu. All to be enjoyed in comfy chairs next to gas fire pits and heaters.

Best Italian food and best service and it also has an outdoor patio. You can also enjoy the wine bar next door owned by the same family, Pepe's is a casual place to enjoy their Arancini (risotto balls) or share some of their mushroom pizza with a glass of wine by the fire.
