Had their gusto salad & chicken wings. The salad was excellent & the wings were meaty but to spicy for me. Love their Basil Hayden old fashion drink. Been their twice & becoming one of my favorite places.
I’ve been here a few times and I’ve never been disappointed. The calamari are amazing. The pizzas are fleshly made and delicious. White sangria or the mule are my drinks of choice.
