Met a colleague here for lunch recently. Located inside the Firesky Resort, this restaurant is a nice little Italian joint that has a nice view of their pool and courtyard.
We came here on a Wed around 12 pm. There were only 2 or 3 tables when we arrived. We sat down and ordered lunch:
Club Sandwich w/Fries, $13

The food was really good. I had the Pizza....it was huge! Very large for a lunch portion. It could easily feed 2 people. Luckily, it isn't heavy. The Crust is thin and toppings are not heavy. It's cooked crispy without asking for it that way, so be prepared for that....if you don't like it crispy, I recommend ordering something else. The flavor was excellent, especially the Sausage which was amazing.
My colleague had the Club Sandwich and he said it was very good.
The food and ambiance earns 4 Stars. The service on the other hand gets 2 Stars. Despite there being only a few tables....it never got packed....the service was very slow. It took a long time for our food to come out, then it took 20 min for the server to pick up the bill after he dropped it off. Slow service is a big no-no for lunch....you have to get people in/out quickly. Luckily, our schedules were clear and we got some work done over lunch, so we made the best out of it.
I may have caught them on a bad day....might back to give it another chance.
