AI Summary

A 165-year-old former courthouse turned garden trattoria for wood-fired pizza and pasta.

A heritage 1860s courthouse split between an elegant, refined dining room with log fire and a heated, casual outdoor garden - reviewers describe it as majestic indoors and relaxed alfresco, popular for both a quiet date and a big group celebration.

48-hour fermented Neapolitan-style pizza dough from a custom wood-fired oven, a heritage 165-year-old courthouse building, an open log fire, a dog-friendly heated garden, and gluten-free pizza bases plus GF/vegan pasta on request.

Owner Kate Dickins built the menu as a tribute to her nonna from Vicenza, and chef-husband Bryan's frequent trips to Italy shape the traditional, house-made pasta focus.

Reviewers are split - most call the generous portions and quality worth the spend, but a few felt it ran pricey for fairly standard pizza and pasta.
