Little hidden gem in the neighbourhood. They have plenty of parking space and a kid’s play lots. Really enjoyed our tofu bread, the tofu portion is soooo satisfying . The focaccia is juice and zesty. Love their sweet potato chips. We packed the chips and it stay crispy hours later. The girl at the front is very nice. But unfortunately for her, she seems a bit overloaded with work in Sunday morning. With all the beverages, coffee making; taking orders; put out dishes; take bills etc… She handled these very well, h it we feel a bit sorry for her.

It was a bit quiet during dinner, but the menu is huge—including all-day breakfast—so there’s plenty to choose from. It actually took us a while to decide. Some of us went with breakfast for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the presentation and gourmet-style spread. The arancini balls were large and full of flavour. A friend had the schnitzel and said it was a good size, with well-cooked chips.

Food was great and it tasted fresh, but my pizza had gone cold from serving it on a cold serving stone. So It lowered the enjoyment of my pizza a bit. Garlic bread and Lasagne was nice. Staff was very friendly. Nice little hidden place in newton.

I have visited a few times and each time the food is perfect. We had a party of 20 over the weekend and every single person loved their meal. The menu is extensive and there are lots of options for everyone, including great vegan options and a good kids menu. The pricing is very reasonable too. The staff also decorated the table with helium balloons, candles, flowers and linens at their own discretion and cost as this dinner was for a birthday. A lovely touch which made the night all the more special. We will definitely come again and appreciate the care the staff show in particular to the authentic food. The chef is amazing. Brick oven pizzas are incredible, steak and seafood options are also amazing.

Great food and service. Excellent location, it’s in front of a playground and a kids friendly place. It has books and a play area for the little ones, quiet and relaxed atmosphere. Had a pleasant time with my family and had a yummy big breakfast.
