A real neighbourhood gem for North Willoughby - lively without being too noisy. Absolutely delicious food (get the Killer Beez pizza and the meatballs). Lovely attentive service. Great drinks. Will be back.

A great location and very well made pizza and pasta. The salads were delicious, although a bit pricey at almost $30, including protein. Excellent wine list with some good value bottles. Beer was nice and chilly.
