About us

Since 1987

Owner Chris Wegner takes pride in creating a place for friends and family together. The extensive menu ranges from traditional pasta, lasagna, fettuccine, and pizza to our chef-inspired specials, hand-crafted soups, and homemade tiramisu. The generous meatballs are hand-rolled daily along with the fresh focaccia bread and pizza dough. A full-service lounge is a place for the neighborhood to meet for food, drinks, and fun during the great happy hour.
