My wife and i decided to try this restaurant for the first time and let me just say, it was absolutely amazing. everything was so fresh, the staff was super attentive and the atmosphere was perfect. we definitely will be back!

The pizza was delicious! It was a great place to get lunch and we enjoyed sitting outside on the porch.

Seriously, don't sleep on this place. We stopped in for a late lunch and had the classico panini with the potatoes, and it was amazing! If we're back in Franklin, we'll go back. Sorry for the crappy picture. I was too busy munching the sandwich. Plenty of parking along the side and back of restaurant. Decent views of the mountains in winter from the patio.

Me and my husband decided to stop and grab a bite to eat to bring back to our cabin. We decided to stop here and give this place a try. The staff was so friendly. We were offered the gelato while we waited for our food which was DELICIOUS! We ordered the Godfather panini which came with roasted potatoes! Everything tasted fresh, and so yummy!!! We will definitely be back when we visit again. Don’t sleep on this place! Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed! So happy we decided to stop!!!

We got take out so no atmosphere rating, but the stone baked pizza was so wonderful & fresh! I loved it! But the gelato is "over the top good!" We started with black cherry & ended up with peach too because our delightful server just kept saying "taste this"...we did & endeded up with two big pints!! Yummy !

What s great little spot! My daughter's pizza was perfect, and my panini was awesome. The staff recommended a couple of waterfalls to us for later in the day. Everyone was so accommodating. we arrived at 2:30pm and we were so happy to see they serve lunch that late!
