**Short quick snippet to the entire review:** This place and their food and staff are amazing. You may wait a little bit getting seated and for the food, but please be patient. Things take time to cook properly. This place just opened and they're doing their best (which I think is great)! It's worth the wait. The food is freaking AMAZING. They have a very large menu: pasta, seafood, subs, pizza, calzone, pepperoni rolls, steak rolls, stromboli, and more! Please, give them a try and keep this place is business. They're supposed to be in a soft opening, but have wondered into the territory of an amazing restaurant opening in an area with a dire need of good places to eat! Please be patient while they get their feet under them, because this is worth the wait! Upon entering, we did wait a bit at the entrance to be greeted, but we could see all of the tables were full and it looked like everyone had came in and ordered at the same time. This was the first Saturday of their opening. The staff were buzzing around trying to make sure everyone was happy and had something to eat or drink refills. Luckily, I was able to sneak up to the bar area (I don't know if they intend to sell alcohol but it didn't appear they were yet). The owner ended up taking our order, and I've placed an image of each meal. The sandwich came with chips (lays), but my kiddo stole them so they're not in the picture. Hopefully they'll end up making their own chips one day, I can only imagine how good they'd be. You're looking at $10-$20 per person, but I think all of the prices are beyond fair. Now onto the food...wow. I ordered the chicken parm sub with spicy sauce. My family ordered the other items listed... the bread on each of the calzone, pepperoni roll, and margherita pizza are more fluffy with a mild crunch rather than the traditional chewy / harder pizza bread. It was amazing. How do I know? Yes...I took a bite of everyone else's, but to be fair i shared mine too! The sauce, banana peppers, cheese and pepperoni were all mouth watering on each and every item (and every bite). My wife couldn't stop complimenting the cheese on that pizza...not to even mention the fact that my son with the pepperoni roll had a cheese pull further than his arms could extend...I missed the picture ;( How was the chicken parm? Well....anything with drizzled melted butter on top of a perfectly toasted crunchy sub vessel containing marinera (I didn't ask but which I can only imagine was made there) crispy chicken (that was not tough or stringy) and melt in your mouth cheese is worth waiting for. I asked what the owner recommended and he said the Spicy Penne, which sounded amazing, but the bartender mentioned the chicken parm. I knew I could heat up the penne so I took his word for it and order them both with the penne to go. I'm so glad I did. Before leaving, I dipped into it with gluttonous rage and realized that this place is no joke. The sauce, color, penne noodle, mushrooms .... it was all SO GOOD. I had to force myself to stop "tasting" it so I could bring it home. We also left with 3 desserts, because I just wanted to try everything. PLEASE...COME HERE....WAIT / BE PATIENT WITH THEM....ENJOY! Updating: I had to add another picture! Owner brought us dessert tonight. Everything was once again FANTASTIC! This dessert is a must!!

My husband and I visited this past weekend and had an overall great experience. We started with the bruschetta appetizer. Although it was unlike any bruschetta I’ve had before, it included the essentials and was very good. I ordered the lasagna, while he had the bow tie pesto pasta with added chicken and a Mediterranean pizza with steak. The food was very good overall. While the center of the pizza crust was a bit soggy, the flavor was still excellent. Despite being very busy when we arrived, we were seated almost immediately. The food did take some time to come out, but the restaurant was full, which was understandable. The only service issue we experienced was at the end of the meal. Although most tables were empty by then, it took quite a while to receive our check, and my husband eventually went to the counter to request it. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be back.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in WV!! We got spicy vodka pasta, and chicken parm. They were both phenomenal and the portions were HUGE! I cant wait to go back and try more items. The owner was out and talking with guests, he was incredibly kind and humble. Our server and the other server working were both extremely attentive and kind!
